From this site for which you posted a link (debt.org):
"About half of Democrats express satisfaction with their personal financial situation, compared with 61 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Independents.
Ultra-Wealthy
While Democrats lose support as income increases, there seems to be a tipping point where the ultra-wealthy begin leaning Democratic. The most famous example would be the entertainment industry, where star-studded events have become a significant part of Democratic culture.
But this phenomenon is not limited to Hollywood. A review of the 20 richest Americans, as listed by Forbes Magazine, found that 60 percent affiliate with the Democratic Party, including the top three individuals: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison. Among the riches families, the Democratic advantage rises even higher, to 75 percent." (You can include Trump in this category, because he's a RINO).
So Dems represent the extremely wealthy (Hollywood, Music Industry, Dow/Tech Inc billionaires, etc.) and the abjectly poor. No. Middle. Ground. To Dems, you're either one or the other... super rich... or poor.
Two things can be true and not contradict the other. Poorer voters (and younger voters who are often one in the same) can trend Democratic. And more educated voters can trend Democratic. This isn't exactly a Rubik's cube.
It's "one and the same," NOT "one in the same."
And... That is WHY the following facts are SO important:
Quote:
"An individual’s likelihood of being a Democrat decreases with every additional dollar he or she earns. Democrats have a huge advantage (63 percent) with voters earning less than $15,000 per year. This advantage carries forward for individuals earning up to $50,000 per year, and then turns in the Republicans’ favor — with just 36 percent of individuals earning more than $200,000 per year supporting Democrats.
Interestingly, the median household income in the United States is near the point where the Democratic advantage disappears and the Republicans take over."
One and the same is the logical formulation of the expression meaning the same person or thing. This expression is not hard to parse; it uses redundancy (one and the same being synonyms) for emphasis. The eggcornone in the same sort of makes sense—if we imagine something being inside the same thing as itself—but it’s not the standard phrase and is widely viewed as a misspelling.

Given my prior post, do you now wish to regale us with how many college degrees you have? Or are you just barely a HS grad?

According to who? Most people in these metro areas are middle class, and they are rejecting Republicans. Why?

Furthermore, most Black middle class/upper class people all over America (with a few exceptions) reject Republicans. Something to consider as well. And I'm talking about Black middle/upper class people, not poor Black people. I know you won't do this, but someone else who might respond would try to interject poor Blacks/welfare recipients into this.

Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been mentionned already.
It is the same in France (won't say Europe because I haven't searched any data).
While what american citizens consider far left the democrat party is funny to us, since they'd be at least center right here, I think and have observed that in big and medium sized cities, people live together and often well, so prejudice isn't as prevalent.
Here, it is mostly small villages and countryside that vote extreme right, while having next to none immigrants or of immigrant descent. They FEAR what TV tells them.
I live in a region that has the most voters for extreme right, but in a big city. In Nice, FN is lower than nationnally. Same when I lived in Paris.
When people live together, they learn how to interact. And Nice is a right-wing city (not the same as your GOP of course) and people vote for efficient politicians. I was born in the second richest city in my country, the mayor has four terms behind him and was elected at first turn a few months ago, he's labelled as communist party. He does a great job and is re-elected every 6 years.
I'm as leftist as you can fear and locally, I stil vote for this right wing mayor. Why? He does a good job, even though he embarrasses himself evey time he adresses national issues.
The problem isn't the politics, it's living together and stop being afraid.
So Dems represent the extremely wealthy (Hollywood, Music Industry, Dow/Tech Inc billionaires, etc.) and the abjectly poor. No. Middle. Ground. To Dems, you're either one or the other... super rich... or poor.
