The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We need a better educated populace...

"Overall the Democratic Party has a 13-point advantage (55% vs. 42%) among voters with a bachelor’s degree or more formal education.

Six-in-ten voters who have a postgraduate degree identify with the Democratic Party (61%), while 37% associate with the Republican Party.

The GOP now holds a 6 point advantage over the Democratic Party (51% to 45%) among voters who do not have a bachelor’s degree.

This dynamic has changed over time, as college-educated voters have grown more Democratic and those with less formal education have grown more Republican." - Bansky

What a load of elitist horsecrap. There is whole skilled labor force that makes your elitist life style possible and most of them don't have college degrees nor are they asking taxpayers to pay off the loans they used to start their businesses. The blue collar types have every right to participate in elections and they lead to perhaps better outcomes because they are guided by common sense instead of rainbow priorities.

Yikes, you guys have lost touch with the normies. And you wonder why you can't figure out Trump's appeal.
