The Education Gap in Presidential Politics

[schmidlap]

I have no dogma nor ideology--- I just get up off my ass and look it up.

I note the significant difference in how the best-educated and least-educated states cast their electoral votes. You are free to concoct whatever you need to regarding that data.

Education level is kinda pointless anymore when you consider all the useless degrees people get that they can't pay for.

No such thing as a useless degree that Joe Biden won't pay for!

Between White Americans who support Harris or Trump, the disparity in college education is an even more significant factor than age or gender.

Though much debate exists around the education system in the U.S., one thing is for sure: The future of the country lies in our youth, and our ability to educate them.

Of course, age and gender are also major demographic factors.

I can find no credible data in that regard, but ideologues are certain to contrive their accommodating notions.

Having a degree in social bullshitting does not make libs wiser that the average plumber or stay at home mom

In fact it usually means they know less about things that matter

I've noticed that. While conservatives tend to argue verifiable, repeatable facts, dates and events, more often that not, progressives argue how stupid you are. Then they argue how wrong you are, then when you ask them for their proof or supporting evidence, it is either crickets, or they tell you they weren't put on this earth to educate you.

Then why can’t you argue verifiable, repeatable facts that the election was stolen?

After a protracted, unrelenting display of impotence in that regard, even the most virulent attackers of American democracy had to finally acknowledge the truth:
