Why is Education Level the Best Predictor of Voting?

[Billiejeens]

You just made that up.

It's real world.

 

[Billiejeens]

Abolish public education.

I don't know if that's a great idea.

 

[SeaMajor7]

I don't know if that's a great idea.

I'm totally down with sending the responsibility of education to the States!
The FEDERAL DOE is subverted and dangerous; antithetical toward the advancement of Humanity and the United States of America.

Being in college teaches critical thinking,

I was in East Texas yesterday. The shittier the area, the more Trump signs.

Well, it was Texas.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Well, it was Texas.

Beats the shithole you live in, loser.

I always found the old sayin' of "You can go to hell, I'm goin' to Texas" to be very odd in the phrasing.

That's a different position .

The most stringent and tyrannical rich people are Progressives. Except if it affects them. Martha's Vinyard is an example of the mindset. The little people must be kept under control for their largesse living.

Education is NOT the only factor that decides how people vote.
That is just more MSM bullshit.

What drives American voters?

Stanford scholars are studying who American voters are, what influences them, and why.

The old truism still holds: "people vote their own wallet" (always have, always will)

And 70% of the wealth in the nation is controlled by demonrats, economic woes do not affect them like it does others

 

[Frankenstein]

Being in college teaches critical thinking, because you're thrown in with other young people from all different backgrounds, perspectives and ideas. In that environment, a curious young mind absorbs a great deal of thought that is directly contrary to theirs.

So not being in that environment essentially handicaps a person. Then, if they are embedded in a religious lifestyle, their exposure to critical thinking practice is even less, because all their answers are provided for them and they're discourged from challenging them.

The curious mind atrophies when not exercised, and that's a goddamn shame. For anyone.

B.S when you graduate, in most cases, you think exactly what your idiot lib professor wants you to

The fault line in politics today is education. If you are more educated you vote democrat, if you are less educated you vote republican. Ironically however, both parties are led by politicians educated at the ivy league schools.

Question: Why is education the single best indicator of voting patterns now?

“The biggest single, best predictor of how someone’s going to vote in American politics now is education level. That is now the new fault line in American politics,” Sosnik told David Chalian on the “CNN Political Briefing” podcast.

Trump’s rise over the past three election cycles, Sosnik argued, “accelerated and completed this political realignment based on education that had been forming since the early ’70s, at the beginning of the decline in the middle class.”

As the US transitions to a 21st century economy, there’s a rift between the people who attain education – “that’s become the basic Democratic Party,” he said, comparing them with people who feel left behind, “that group of voters is now the modern Republican Party base.”

There’s a direct correlation to politics. In 2020, according to CNN’s exit polls, voters with a college degree accounted for 41% of the electorate and they supported President Joe Biden 55% to Trump’s 43%. Trump got the support of about two-thirds of White voters without a college degree, but he lost White college-educated voters.

I know a lot of people who are educated/book smart, and have no idea how to live life, and have no common sense

Not sure what you mean.

This is why Florida is busy dismantling education.

The cultural marxist talks about dismantling. Oh, the irony.

The marxist elite profess to be down with the coloreds, but won't get anywhere near them after hours.

This is how you know they're losing, and they know THEY are losing.

Now it's not look how great our loser is, or look how great our policies are.

Now it's Americans are awful and stupid for voting for Trump.

IOW you're losing. We know.

Not sure what you mean.

The other poster suggested eliminating Public Education.

You seem to be saying keep public education, but have it administered by the state.

2 different things.

Fair enough, thanks.
I want the matter far removed from the FEDS whatever way possible.

It is administered by the state (local districts controlled by the state).
