    Pretty much just as good as that crap you're pedaling. At least the truth of the last 6 or 7 years is finally surfacing from the fascist swamp that has been DC for at least the last 60+ years.

    Now that the climate change garbage continues hanging itself by its own petard the whole thing will unravel.

    Frankly I wish you progressives do find a way to disqualify Trump from running. Then those of us who don’t care for his overbearing ways would not have to bite our collective lips and vote for Trump as an alternative to the socialist your party will nominate.

    So this got me a chuckle. You're no extremist. But you are communist. And the only Communist countries that exist is Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, China and North Korea. Great role models to work towards.

    I'm just saying...leftists have no idea of what "extremist" means. It's just a handy label to slap on anything they disagree with. A totaltarian tactic.

    I am feeling more and more that way. He keeps attacking DeSantis and not only is that overbearing, I find it destructive to America First chances of winning.

    I also don't really believe countries should exist, but i'm not willing to fight anyone to get rid of them.

    Well...that viewpoint makes you even more extreme. Just pointing out that the definition of extreme is not the "willingness to militarily go to war. " Extreme is a position far far away from where most Americans are.

    No, I actually have practical professional experience in the field. I don't need to get my opinions from anybody else.

    Unlike you.

    Higher education!

    Polls show Trump dominating his likely primary competitor among GOP voters in the so-called “beer track” — a shorthand for the cultural and socioeconomic characteristics of the bloc of voters with lower incomes and levels of educational attainment...

    Trump has a 17-point lead among Republicans without a college degree...

    Even were he not able to make inroads on DeSantis’ turf, Trump has an inherent advantage. A decades-long realignment has pushed college-educated voters toward Democrats — an already-existing trend that Trump accelerated — making the GOP’s “beer track” the larger cohort among Republican primary voters...

    The Monmouth poll, however, still shows DeSantis with a large lead among voters with college degrees, 62 percent to 30 percent — similar to his advantage among this group last month...

    While the same class divide among Republicans exists as in 2016, polls suggest it’s even bigger now. In the 28 states where the TV networks commissioned entrance or exit polls in the 2016 caucuses and primaries, Trump was backed by 47 percent of voters without college degrees, compared to 35 percent of those with college degrees.

    What might be even better news from Trump is that the beer track vote is growing as a share of the GOP electorate. While college graduates made up a majority of Republican caucus-goers and primary voters in recent cycles, larger political realignments will likely mean that in most states, GOP voters without college degrees will outnumber those who have graduated from college next year.

    These days "higher education = progressive indoctrination". That's a fact. Just follow the political support of educators and teachers unions. Fortunately apprenticeships and trade schools (including computer science) is replacing what you call "higher education."

    No. The one supported by documents and testimony. You should actually read it!

    Yes, there is prejudice against higher education. It's just a fact, and it's unfortunate.

    Higher education is not for everyone, but better-educated Americans enjoy a higher quality of life, and contribute more to our society. Several objective metrics demonstrate that:

    According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about a fifth (19%) of the roughly 2 million bachelor’s degrees conferred in 2019-20 were in business. Health professions and related programs were the second most-popular field, making up 12.6% of degrees conferred that year. Business has been the single most common major since 1980-81; before that, education led the way.

    In 2021, full-time workers ages 22 to 27 who held a bachelor’s degree, but no further education, made a median annual wage of $52,000, compared with $30,000 for full-time workers of the same age with a high school diploma and no degree, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This gap has widened over time. Young bachelor’s degree holders earned a median annual wage of $48,481 in 1990, compared with $35,257 for full-time workers ages 22 to 27 with a high school diploma.
    The quality of life differs in states with higher educational attainment:

    Most Educated U.S. States

    Least Educated States

    50. West Virginia
    49. Mississippi
    48. Louisiana
    47. Arkansas
    46. Kentucky
    45. Nevada
    44. Alabama
    There are many many striking metrics that correspond to the educational disparity. E.g.,

    Screen Shot 2023-03-25 at 3.53.24 PM.png
    Screen Shot 2023-03-25 at 3.57.28 PM.png

    In general, better health, longevity and marital stability are characteristics of better-educated states. (The states with the lowest life expectation are Louisiana 76.1,Tennessee 76.0, Oklahoma 76.0, Arkansas 76,Kentucky 75, Alabama 75.5,
    Mississippi 74., and West Virginia. The highest are Hawaii 82.3, California 81.7,New York 81.4, Minnesota 80.9, Connecticut 80.9, Massachusetts 80.6,, Colorado 80.6, New Jersey 80.5, and Washington 80.4.)

    How do you defeat Trump?

    That's the easiest question to answer in the world.

    You stick a microphone under his nose and let him talk. If you have it there long enough he's bound to say something that will work in an attack ad.

    Actually, Biden has to win. And I don’t think the media will play “Hide the Biden” this time around.
    Biden has to win in an ever decreasing economy, open borders, high gas prices, and a war that needs American leadership where their is none.

    The only screw up left for Biden is to get us into a war. China has the measure of Biden and they know he will not retaliate if they nuke us. They most likely feel they can get away with nuking the Philippines or Pearl Harbor as a “Red Line”. Far enough to determine trajectory, so we know it’s not hitting the US mainland.

    I notice how using logic isn't one of the strategies.

    Well, I know what is NOT a practical way to defeat MAGA.

    Indict Trump in NYC for this Stormy Daniels fraud.

    Good luck with that.

    His lawyer did time for this crime - why should “individual one” not also be prosecuted?
