As a companion thread to this , I wanted to see what the response would be to the opposite end of the spectrum.

While Biden has shown an ability to elevate himself above a lot of the fray, a lot of Democrats could not do the same. Democrats showed weakness in connecting with working class voters especially more white and rural voters.

Moderates and Progressives are at each others throats in the senate and house over who is to "blame" in terms of messaging.

Moderates such as Conor Lamb of Pittsburgh, who did win reelection, says the progressive wing's messaging was a net-drag in more purple and moderate districts.

Progressives such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the Bronx, who also won reelection, say that the moderates mirrored their Republican counter parts to closely and didn't appeal to the more left part of the party leading to a lot of defeats.

So which is it? What's the best strategy to win two seats in GA?

Question how educated do I have to be to be considered by you to be worthy of an opinion
?
Or are the worthy only those that agree with you?

I know a lot of people who didn't go to college that are 2x as smart as some who did. You are just fanning the flames with your thread title. Pretty tired of democrats talking down to others...

I was more just referring to Donald Trump's usage of the phrase. He famously professed that "the poorly educated" love him.


Trump still king of the 'poorly educated'

And you talking down to others? Didn't you just do the same thing by claiming all democrats talk down to others?

Trump is still king of the less educated, how do the Democrats change that?

Quit attending marxist teaching universities and then you will be as dumb as we Trump supporters. Then you might gain common sense and patriotism and draw in we the people.

It's amazing how just asking a normal political question can be taken so personally.

Speaking of "less educated" ... how about having a thread title that reflects what's in the OP?

Stop calling Alexandria Ocasio Cortez a "progressive".

Marxist would be a better fit.

Boy, your side really wants to unite the country. We've gone from deplorables, to less educated.
