It is, but I am using the label he used right back at him. Non college vote = uneducated for the snow flakes
Yep, well said. My own father never went to college. Overcame addiction. Makes six figures now, and even has a patent in his name. "Uneducated" is nothing more than a label used by elitists. Don't fall for it.
How about "poorly educated"? Is that one ok? Or is that only used by elitists also? Because I heard Trump say that one... and Trump surely couldn't be an elitist, could he? barfo
I'm poorly educated. That explains why I missed this video of CNN faking an interview....they didn't tell the host though...hahahahahaha
Poorly Educated isn't the same as being "uneducated". One implies simple ignorance, the other implies stupidity. And you KNOW what Liberals are referring to when they call people "uneducated". And they don't say it as a form of endearment.
Hmm. To me, poorly educated suggests little, or bad, education, whereas uneducated suggests no education. Neither implies stupidity. barfo
The problem is, you'll have two people, one whose not gone to college, but owns their own business and is making 6 or 7 figures with no college debt. And another whose gone to college and got a degree in liberal arts whose now paying back college debt making minimum wage at McDonalds. Liberals will lump the college "educated" person in with their "smart person" label bucket, and outcast the non-college educated person.
I suppose that's one way of looking at it. But if that's your reasoning, then I would rather it be suggested that I had a poor education....rather than no education at all. But this is besides the point. Liberals and Democrats don't say these things as forms of endearment. They are implying that average Americans are stupid, and that they know what's best for them, simply because they went to Harvard. And furthermore, that some Liberal Democrat in San Francisco or New York knows what's best for a small farming community in Nebraska.
Sure, you wouldn't be doing exactly what you are complaining about, would you? Stereotyping? Sure, there are successful non-college educated people, and unsuccessful college educated people. Just like there are liberals who stereotype, and liberals who don't. There are conservatives who stereotype, and conservatives who don't. barfo
Me? I am not labeling anyone. More often than not, in countless discussions just like in this thread from a poster here, the Liberals are the ones that are handing out the comparison/labels of the education compare/contrast w/voting Dem or Repub. It's obvious in all their talking points they are saying "if you are smart you vote Democratic, if you are dumb you vote Republican". That is the gist.
Sure, that makes sense. Hmm, ok, I'm not really sure about what use of 'uneducated' we are really talking about here, but I think it was being used as shorthand for 'non-college educated' voters favoring Trump? Maybe the shorthand is an insult, although maybe you are reading too much into it. barfo
With the current crop of Online Liberals and SJWs that have taken over the Democratic Party, I'm inclined to believe that it's an insult.
Poorly educated would be public school grads. That's on you. They're citizens and their votes count as much as yours.
Did I miss something? That's not really what you think is it? I went to public high school and a public university - UCLA. I don't think that makes me poorly educated. I venture to say most people here went to public schools and got a very good education.
barfo wants to make something about poorly educated voters. Public schools work for many. You're lucky not to be black and from an inner city school district. The schools in chicago looked like prisons. Barbed wire on the fences, iron bars on the windows, windows boarded over, metal detectors to get in, and general disrepair. Those kids don't go to UCLA, unless they're world class athletes.
