Democrats have a ‘smug’ problem

The day after the election, an NBC News chart circulated on Instagram highlighting exit poll data showing that, roughly, the more education you had, the more likely you were to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris over President-elect Donald Trump. Some liberals used the occasion to look down upon the icky dummies who were too stupid to know they shouldn’t vote for Trump.

Yet Trump’s victory was both definitive and diverse. He won broad swaths of the electorate, making significant gains in New York and California and winning over larger percentages of Latino voters and young voters than in 2020. He also won a majority of first-time voters.

Yes, Trump was able to capture a bigger percentage of the voters who didn’t go to college — from 54 percent in 2020 to 63 percent in 2024, according to those exit polls (which are often revised after the election). In fact, according to an analysis from the Financial Times, the 2024 election represented the first since 1960 that Democrats performed better with the richest Americans than with the poorest Americans. That said, Trump also performed slightly better than previously with voters with an associate’s degree and those with advanced degrees.

I know from two weeks ago, but to the writer, "No Sh!t Sherlock" and the democrats will probably nominate the smuginess of all AOC, in 2028, the way they are going.

[Ann Archy]

They gave up their COMMON SENSE for a DIPPY LOMA!!

[DIRTYSECRET]

AOC? Watch her back down from a JD Vance debate challenge.

Speaking of ‘Smug”, I haven’t heard anything from Jane Fonda.
I would expect her to have some thoughts about the outcome of Election Day, 2024.

The extreme arrogant left: “all on the right are dumb”.

[Freeleesy]

Fonda didn’t move out of the country? Yet?

[BradyLS]

She also fears swooning in front of the cameras.

“.... roughly, the more education you had, the more likely you were to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris”

Educated? No, Indoctrinated.

[Terry L Smith]

“the smugness factor” began with Billary, at the SENATE level.

......

No college degree is no longer a badge of ignorance. Biggest earners and best people have no imprimatur from the education machine.

BS-we know what that is
MS-more of the same
PhD-piled higher and deeper

"the more education you had, the more likely you were to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris"

Wisdom and intelligence has nothing to do with education. Education is about knowledge. It's what you do with knowledge that matters, and that is not taught in schools and universities.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Many of those "people with degrees" can not read a book.

It has become a problem.

[BradyLS]

You bring up a good point. Education slowly ceased being a real education starting decades ago.

[Freeleesy]

Also, It’s HOW one uses one’s wisdom. It’s a tool that can be used for good or for bad...

To a modern democrat/progressive, anyone who gets their hands dirty or sweats by work is thought to be sub human and not as nuanced as them.

I haven’t heard anything from Jane Fonda.

She’s working with illiterates, so they’ll vote for Democrats, in the future.
