A typical Democrat.

Political strategist David Axelrod argued Thursday that Democrats are becoming a “smarty-pants, suburban, college-educated party” that could keep losing electorally if it does not change course.
“You can’t approach working people like missionaries and say, ‘We’re here to help you become more like us.’ There’s a kind of unspoken disdain, unintended disdain in that,” Axelrod, a CNN contributor, said in an interview with the outlet.
The longtime Democratic strategist praised President Biden for doing some “good things for working people,” but stated that the party as a whole “has increasingly become a smarty-pants, suburban, college-educated party, and it lends itself to the kind of backlash that we’ve seen.”
His comments on CNN’s “AC360” came a day after the 2024 White House race was called for President-elect Trump.
The GOP nominee won all seven battleground states and made electoral gains among several demographics and in blue-leaning states, becoming the first Republican to win the popular vote since 2004.
After Vice President Harris’s loss, Democrats started pointing fingers at who or what was to blame for the upset. Axelrod weighed in on the defeat alongside CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
“I do have concerns about the way the Democratic Party relates to working-class voters in this country,” Axelrod said. “The only group that Democrats gained within the election on Tuesday was white college graduates, and among working-class voters, there was a significant decline.”

Given what I’ve observed, unless one has pursued a STEM degree, “college educated” can be considered to be a major oxymoron.
“smarty-pants, suburban, college-educated party” is that an Oxymoron , LOL
Maleducated
He’s not wrong.........
They MIGHT be college educated, but they are PLAIN STUPID!!
Pointy headed suburban twats is less complementary.
“College educated” doesn’t mean squat these days.
Democrats became the party that locked out the working class American. It was a party controlled by the elites, who used tax dollars to keep dependent Americans voting for them.
On a positive note, they do have great cookies and milk.
;^)
A typical Democrat.
Dems are the smarty pants party without the smarty.
Democrats are offering them bribes to rid them of $1000’s of school debt.
Axe should know.
Reap what you sow. They’ve been pushing the college for everybody crap without regard to the consequences with meaningless degrees
For all but science and engineering...
college = indoctrination camp.
Hopefully, they remain that way for the next 3 or 4 election cycles.
The last thing we need is a bunch of Fetterman democrats chipping away at our rural margins.
