We need to address the class divide that defines America right now, and that's the divide between the educated - who tend to be wealthier, urban and liberal - and the uneducated - who tend to be poorer, rural and conservative.
The way I see it, the rich urban liberals have a greater responsibility here, because they have financial and intellectual resources that the rural poor do not. If the liberals are expecting poorer and less educated people to spontaneously gain the knowledge and experience necessary to make better political choices, then they're delusional. Maybe the liberals think, "hey, that's a them problem, not a me problem." If so, they're wrong. Unless they want to amend the constitution so that only rich liberals can vote, it's a you problem.
Edit: I realized I asked someone else to provide a source for their claim that even as I had not provided one for mine that "the educated...tend to be wealthier, urban and liberal."
Here's what I was able to get from factually.co:
So it is not necessary the case that the educated are wealthier. It may have been more accurate for me to say that "the educated tend to be affluent, urban and liberal.
The average Republican voter is wealthier than the average Democratic voter.
Every media company is controlled by Republican interests.
Could you provide a source for that? I'm not necessarily doubting that it's true but I'm also not just going to take your word for it.
Pew Research polling finds Republican leanings in every economic class except the absolute highest and lowest earners. They're the closest thing America has to middle class voters, not the poor and stupid underclass you suggest.
But that's not what I said, though. I didn't say that "Republicans" are "the poor and stupid underclass." I said:
I shouldn't have said that the educated, specifically the college educated, tend to be wealthier, because that's not necessarily true. However, it is true that college educated people tend to have higher incomes than non-college educated people.
