‘Non-college educated’ is such a slap in the face of every smart, capable working person in this country who simply can’t afford or justify a college education because of the price tag.

[@bobbritches846]

and often not at all necessary and seems to act as a mind-snatcher making many think the same and less critically. For some it's 4 more years of high-school with more drinkin' ect.

[@michaelsieger9133]

@ The quality of the education students receive seems to be inversely correlated with the price of tuition. The primary function of education as it currently exists seems to revolve around making young people into docile little corporate drones with an alcohol dependency disorder. The modern academia has completely abandoned the main pillars of liberal education in the West, namely, a study of the classics and intensive focus on critical thought through a philosophical, theoretical lens.

[@freegadflyathome]

It's just a "demographic." You would probably fit into that demographic if you are a critical thinker... and there's probably an income level that shouldn't be that high.

Progressive policies are popular, they consistently poll well with almost all groups over long periods of time. We need to embrace populism, and actually ACT, while not trying to compete or concede to the right wing attempts to distract and divide us with ignorance, hate, and fear on social issues. When people don't have a real hopeful and bold vision from us, they'll far more easily fall for the distractions and division. We won't win by leaning into that. Have solidarity, build community, make a friend 💙

Here's the thing, it's their party. They own it. We just see if there's something we like from them and maybe we can vote them in. Right now, the democrat party lost its working class identity. It's now the party of the elites, and while Elon and Trump have money, their voters don't. So they make policies for their voters. Yes the tax cuts helped everyone, so you could just say they helped the wealthy but that isn't the whole story. I'm a democrat, 35 years, but I voted red because I actually am an activist and very informed urban nurse and academic. My family runs non profits giving free mental health care. So, I tell you what, if you can figure out why I so love the Unity party, you'll be better off for it. It really isn't what people are saying. I started following MAGA because I was told they were right wing extremists, that scared me so I was watching their online groups, and they totally won me over. I mean, how the hell does that happen.

It came down to messaging- both the Dems *lack* of a solid message on the economy (the #1 issue in this election) and the lack of pushback *against* the Republicans messaging, allowing the Dems to be *defined* by GOP propaganda in the minds of most voters.

[@freegadflyathome]

They just let them get away with their trans panic with absolutely no pushback or response, period. And couldn't really push back on the border cause they had the same policies, but they could have tried to humanize human beings a little more.

@@freegadflyathome The Dems did nothing while the GOP patented the term "open boarder policy", when they *should* have been pointing out that the Boarder Patrol detained people every single day of the Biden administration- Republicans were flat-out lying about the boarder being "wide open". On the economy, the Dems *should* have been pointing out that the global inflation wave was triggered by Covid supply chain disruptions, and *not* by Bidens policies- the U.S. had lower inflation than most other First World countries. They should have also pointed out that the economy was good during Trump's first three years because he inherited a growing economy from Obama, and not because Trump was an economic genius (his six bankruptcies prove this). They should have been pointing out that Trump had *no* real plans and all his promises were pure Magical Thinking. I'm not sure why the Dems made these blunders- my guess is that their campaign managers are slaved to Ivy League debate team rules, where you lose points if you respond to an unsubstantiated argument. Alas, that ain't how "Joe Sixpack" rates debates; to them, if you don't push back, they see that as an admission that you are in the wrong.
