Tell us more about the high education standards being met in Baltimore/ Memphis/Chicago/Little Rock/ Newport News VA/ Hartford CT/ Milwaukee/ Detroit.Tell me more about the cosmopolitan citizens of Dekalb County who keep electing Hank Johnson. Or the well researched voters in Memhis who keep Steve Cohen on the payroll. Some of the finest people I’ve ever met are from WV. They’re trying to recover from 40 years of being governed by Hilary’s KKK hero but they’re turning the corner.

Ha: I won't deny that Democratically run cities can be a mess in some respects. The city that I live in is run by Democrats, and I have issues with what seems to be self-dealing by the city government. This can be a problem. When I mentioned education, I was referring to Democrats generally. Democratic voters overall are more educated than Republicans--there are many surveys that show as much. Educated voters are significantly more likely to vote for Democrats. Conservatives have a long history of anti-intellectualism. We see that in their ignorant attitudes to science--though their attitudes are influenced by Republican politicians and right-wing media who promote anti-government and ant-science BS to simply benefit themselves--to please campaign contributors like oil and gas companies or, in the case of right-wing media, just to keep their audience stoked up so they can make money.

More recently, Democrats have excelled only at claiming they are superior on “the science”. But the track record is pretty piss poor.

I don’t believe that the voters in Maxine’s district (the one she doesn’t live in) or Sheila Jackson Lee are anymore educated than those in red states. Sometimes conservative indifference to basic science is frustrating to me. Other times fringe theories turn out to be correct. Either way Libertarian voters are smarter and better looking than both. I may have made some of that last part up.

I guess that begs the question that if being educated makes one better at serving the public, why are Dems cities failing so bad? It seems that all that time spent in classrooms doesn't allow for much real world application, so what we see if people coming out the thier education with these grand uptopian ideas which are great in theory but not practical. Couple that with a super high value of themselves due to that education and we are where we are at. You can say GOP voters are uneducated all you want, but living in reality is better then chasing a dream that will never come true and has failed throughout history when attempted.

Cities aren't "failing." They have certain issues, like every other place. I've lived in cities all my life--including big ones--and it's a far better experience than living in freaking rural or suburban America, where there is....little or nothing, except chain restaurants in strip malls. Cities tend to have large low-income populations, which affect the politics and who gets elected to run the cities. Well-educated Dems who live in cities have trouble getting elected to run cities, for demographic reasons, and that can be a problem.

Well educated Dems have trouble getting elected to run cities yet the majority of educated college grads votes Dem.. how does that make sense..if education equaled being intelligent why are they not electing those well educated Dems? Seems to counter the idea that because someone doesn't have a college education, they vote GOP. I believe that the cities are electing what they believe to be the brightest, problem is they have no real world experience..most are career political pawns who tow the line....and yes most cities are in debt, high crime, high inflation, there is a reason Dem cities are declining in population....

Why? Because of strip malls and chain restaurants??? That is your justification for saying that?

People that move from the city to the country should be required by law to rent for 5 years before buying any property. We live in the boonies - relatively. There is a Publix about 5 miles down the road, and it kills me when I hear some of the new locals talk about how we need one up here. City folk.... Go on back to the concrete.
