    IF, in fact, the Democrat party has lost any of the 'so called' less-educated whites, or any other racial identified segment of the population, the truth is that they are in reality much smarter than the Democrat party is giving them credit for being.

    In the 2010 midterms Democrats decided to drop the traditional white working class base in favor of a coalition of racial and sexual minorities, immigrants, academics and the media class.

    The whole point was that they didn't think they needed the white working class. Nobody is dying of starvation in America anymore, the left has moved on from socioeconomic class warfare, it's not a viable strategy any longer. Divisive class politics is. Both sides revel in it, it's the new battleground.

    All major elections in recent times have shown that parties representing old establishment norms are resoundingly rejected. Britain, Hungary, Austria, Italy, United States, even the left wing candidates like Trudeau and Corbyn lean anti-establishment.

    It's a new era in politics and it's not going away any more quickly than Nixon's correction did in the late 60s.

    Can't agree more on the above. Pretty much sums up the reason the United States of America was founded as a Republic NOT a Democracy.

    Watch Trump rallies and take notes! Stop calling Trump supporters racists and idiots but in the next breath vote for us.

    Okay. Did that. Those attending are rather violent and racist.

    We don't need your votes. Catering to your violence and racism would drive away the reasonable voters that make the difference. Remember, you're not the white working class. You're a coalition of violent white racists.

    Taking back the Democratic Party
    US Rep. Joe Crowley defeated
    in Democratic primary in NY


    NEW YORK (AP) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old
    [​IMG]

    Sen. Bernie Sanders supporter, has upset longtime U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley in the Democratic congressional primary in New York.

    "We beat a machine with a movement, and that is what we have done today," said Ocasio-Cortez, who has never held elected office and whose candidacy attracted only modest media attention. "Working-class Americans want a clear champion and there is nothing radical about moral clarity in 2018."

    Ocasio-Cortez ran a low-budget campaign and was outspent by an 18-1 margin



    Okay I know I said I would vote straight, white man first, all else second
    but she is a babe. And Bernie Sanders supporter.
    And as best as I can tell, Crowley is a Hillary supporting Swamp Rat.
    He is seen with Pelosi too frequently ;)

    The reason they vote opposite of the so-called educated is because they haven't spent four or more years in college being brainwashed by anti-white, anti-American so-called "progressive" college professors; and they haven't been forced to waste a crap-load of time and money taking social justice, and diversity classes. The second most popular degree is a Liberal Arts degree which qualifies them to be line cooks at McDonald's. The most popular degree is in Business Administration which qualifies the graduates to be the boss of the 'well-educated' line cooks.
    While the uneducated (those that majored in How to Contribute to Society) went to trade school and are fully employed and paying taxes, the college graduates are living in their parents' basement. (Forty-five percent of college graduates are living at home.) While those that went to work out of high school or went to trade schools are living on their own, and are likely married and have children, and paying taxes. I only have a lowly degree in Medical Laboratory Technology, but I can see right through your arrogant, pompous bull.

    Amazing how more educated you can get in the school of hard knocks versus a liberal college.

    Speaking of the uneducated voting for presidents: 98% of blacks for voted for Obama. Only 56% of black males finish high school. Blacks finishing college more often get degrees in social work--or in how to take from those who work and give to those who wont.

    Social work is a broad field, but all of it is focused on helping people, not taking from working people to give to others. That's the IRS's job.. And Wall Street's way of life.

    My what a interesting perspective.

    First I take nothing away from any hard working individual regardless of educated or uneducated, tradesman or professional, McDonald's clerk or corporate CEO. Whether working poor or filthy rich.

    Your mischaracterization is the ridiculous bumpersticker that college educate people are brainwashed by anti-"you" propaganda and make no contribution to society. All those college grads who run the internet, design and build all those computers, fly all those planes, create all those medicines, run the infrastructure of society aren't making any contributions to your society or paying taxes, because the census indicates that 1/3 of recent college grads still live with their parents. Which means of course that 2/3rd of college grads do not.

    Do you know the reasons why more 18-34 year olds still live with their parents than ever before? It sure as hell ain't because they were brainwashed into hating you.

    Often times you are absolutely correct, but I'd rather learn from a book than a bat to the head.

    Like most every other human on this earth, I have had my share of hard knocks and the lesson learned from them DEFINITELY carried more weight in my decision making processes going forward than anything I ever learned from a book or a teacher. But I learned a huge amount more from books and structured learning processes. Knowledge has great power in life and acquiring it and utilizing it should be a daily feature of everyone's life.

    And just because they didn't sit in a college classroom does not mean they did not learn from books. Using WHILE utilizing is a double whammy. I went to a community college at night while a production supervisor for about 4 - 5 courses specific to what I was doing. Best classroom time I ever spent.

    I don't doubt it. Acquiring additional relevant knowledge that can be directly applied within your daily occupation should be the most leveraged learning one can enjoy.

    I think we violently agree. Long odds, wot?

    Yeah, who wouldn't want to be brainwashed for 4 years and then graduate into a Lib zombie who needs a safe space because they can't cope with the real world? Sounds fun, and btw, I have a Master's degree, but that was when you actually went and wasn't told what to think.

    ,,, say the geniuses who were outsmarted by the clueless, who transformed a 3M illegal vote deficit to the geniuses into an electoral college landslide.

    They certainly got nothing under obama...obama just didn't care...democrats are still a do nothing (but whine) party. They don't want to help people. They just want power.

    That EC gerrymandering was done with just 70k votes which denied We the People our choice.
