More educated in that which is wrong.

The fact that AOC has an economics degree highlights the fallacy of being “more educated”.
—
She said (and yes, she definitely did say this):

The reason unemployment is low is because so many people are being forced to work 2 jobs.

(Reminder: she has an economics degree.)

Less white and more educated? Hmmm... I may have to call BS on that.

[Old Yeller]

They still can’t do math to save their souls.

No problem, they have no souls.

[Intolerant in NJ]

less white, more educated...affirmative action college admissions work that way......

[onedoug]

More islamist

[cuban leaf]

It is not getting more liberal. It’s getting more leftist. True liberals and conservatives are not all that far apart. Leftists are loons.

This covers it well, and it IS what is happening to the democrats (the left is taking them over):

“More educated”

Assumes facts not in evidence.

[Buckeye McFrog]

What more proof do you need that open borders and the education establishment are destroying the country?

[LostPassword]

> the very last thing the D party is getting is “more liberal!”

you nailed it. progressivism has NOTHING to do with liberalism. It’s an enemy of liberalism and conservatism, and Ds are getting more progressive.

[Buckeye McFrog]

True liberals and conservatives are not all that far apart.

That probably explains why, in my grandparents' day, there was not all of this acrimony between Republicans and Democrats. They could have rational debates about ideas, and each could live with the compromises.

Saul Alinsky destroyed all that IMHO.

[Altura Ct.]

it's being fueled by shifting demographics within the party.

And so is the nation.

is getting less white

To many people that is orgasmic.

[Berlin_Freeper]

The early days of the 2020 presidential primary have shown the Democratic Farty is in flatulence and having a robust debate about what its future will stink like.

[cuban leaf]

Yep. Go back in time to, say, 1960, and ask any liberal what they think about same sex marriage. Or what they think about anything involving LBGTQXYZ.

The Democratic Party is getting less white, more educated -- and significantly more liberal RADICAL

[Buckeye McFrog]

The President with whom Trump might most closely align ideologically was JFK.

Yet five decades later Dems call him Hitler.

[Clemenza]

Asians are the most educated racial group in the US and vote Democrat at a higher rate than Hispanics per 2016 and 2018 elections. Add all of da White Wimmin with their counseling degrees and there ya go.

[Cowboy Bob]

According to the research, the percentage of nonwhite Democrats has gone up to an average of 43% in 2013-2018 from an average of 31% in 2001-2006. White people now make up 56% of the party, a 12-point drop from 2001-2006.

When the minorities become the majority of the Democrat party, it will implode. Will that be by 2024?

[goodnesswins]

Yep...keeping my grandson from going to university (got 2 yr associates degree at CC) has been my goal...esp since he doesn’t know what he wants to do.

[grateful]

"More educated" in this context usually means $200,000 in student loans and a useless degree. More educated doesn't always mean smarter.
