Trump didn't trash health care. But anyway.
Let's torpedo yet another shibboleth of the Church of progressivism:
The headline says it all:
The DSA sweet spot: highly educated, downwardly mobile
Education and economic security are usually correlated. But where the relationship breaks down is fertile territory for the new left.natesilver.net - The dsa sweet spot highly educatedDownwardly mobile. Yep.
As a result of contentious Democratic primaries in Michigan, Maine, and New York, I’ve been reading a lot of conversation about the role that class plays in voting patterns in the United States. In these primaries, candidates like Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed who are associated with democratic socialism often claim to have the mandate of the working class. But in practice, their strengths tend to be with college-educated voters. Even before his scandals, Platner wasn’t particularly doing better among voters without college degrees than previous (losing) Democratic nominees in Maine. El-Sayed has relatively weak support from Black voters in polls, meanwhile.democrats (and democrat communists) are winning "educated" voters who don't have particularly lucrative degrees and often paid through the nose for them. So they're massively in debt, don't have great jobs, and are in the headspace of wanting someone to come along and make things better for them.

Based on this grid, what is the most Democratic voting group in America? It’s voters with postgraduate degrees but lower-to-middle household incomes of $30K to $60K per year.Postgraduate degree + income of less than $60k a year == you wasted a few years and a lot of $$$$$ getting a terrible degree.
THAT's the democrats core constitency.
BTW. Keep turning your party's nose up towards blue collar voters.
