Well we already know that at least in the United States there's a direct correlation between education level and your political beliefs and I believe it to be largely for the same reason that even in deeply red states areas with large population tend to lean blue

basically there is a large percentage of the population who has never really been exposed to culture or ideas outside of the ones they were born into

those that get this exposure will end up as liberals generally speaking

educated ones do to so it's just not worth pointing out unless you're trying to justify racism again

This was a pretty good read a bit related

Not trying to speak for minorities but generally the democrats have had more of their interests in mind (as in, not taking away their rights) so therefore uneducated and educated alike tend to vote for democrats. It's very logical.

I think I mentioned this. Richer folk that do not like to pay taxes tend to vote red. They also live in little bubbles within their McMansions. I don't think anyone is doing any dehumanizing here, but if that is what is on your mind then feel free to share it.

And then there were those kids in a pickup truck bed with a flag-painted horse (it was around the 4th) with the Trump sticker on bumper that I saw in NC this summer. They are definitely living up to a stereotype.

I don't know how much is real, meaningful info and what is confirmation bias in my brain anymore

Why not say what you're thinking

"In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980. "

this sort of stuff is common knowledge though

Netphoria is not a good place to poll for this kind of thing and also we don't decide the election. Many people that have posted about the election don't even live in the US.

Hey Poots. Either get back to work or drop the jaded political pundit troll Nimrod's son schtick ok? This alluding to things is a poor way to conversate.

Still, 43% with a college degree backed Trump :D

They also backed McCain and Romney. So they aren't what made Trump win.

I have never talked politics irl :(

I didnt say they were. But it's still a large percentage when people are saying Trump is a stupid mentalist.

Generalizations about the states that take the most federal money? Because they do and also tend to vote red. Since federal aid and republicanism don't go hand and hand, how do you reconcile that fact?

Also you're welcome

I said it. Don't dodge the question.

Why do red states take the most federal aid?

It's complex.

itt nuclear meltdown

it is not a stick. he is actually nimrods son. is anyone surprised? no it makes sense. go away nimrod. go cry while you jerk off to the memory of fingering gwen stephani 30 years ago

why do we all take turns arguing with this one internet troll I'm stupid about this

I can imagine.

If you thought I was implying racism then I am sorry to say. If anything I was implying ignorance. I think a big part of it could be that the more conservative states have conservative leaders and administators that due to some ignorance, institute policies that are more ideological than pragmatic. Example: Mike Pence and needles.

Actually I can't tell is Nimrod's son is being truthful or facetious but it doesnt matter at this point. Racism permeates our daily lives, unfortunately.

I can't understand how people can vote strictly by color. As if all people wearing blue represents one thing and red stands for another. That's fundamental racism.

I find that people who don't belong to either party and don't understand the red, blue thing are the type of people who supported Bernie Sanders and then voted Trump over Hillary

I get that theyre both "anti establishment" but how are Bernie and Trump similar at all?

That's a good place to be. You're ripe for enlightenment. I had a Prof in college go on about Pappy Bush being a drug smuggler while chief of the C.I.A. I figured if that were true, we would know about it; you know, that the press would report such a thing. lol. I was in disbelief at the time, but the comment stirred me and never left really...a full decade later, I realized he was right all along.

bernie sanders and hillary clinton voted the same way 90% of the time during their concurrent Senate tenures
