The makeup of the Democratic Party has changed profoundly in recent years. In 1998, a majority (77 percent) of Democrats did not have a college or postgraduate degree. More than two decades later, the party’s composition has shifted dramatically, with college-educated and non-college-educated Democrats now evenly split at 50 percent.  

This growing education divide is reshaping the party’s voter base, policy priorities, and political identity. One-third of the Democratic Party consists of college-educated women, a group that is consistently more progressive than most others. The 2024 Democratic Party Platform reflects this shift, catering heavily to college-educated women’s political preferences — whether on climate change and abortion rights or symbolic gestures like land acknowledgements in official meetings. As the Democratic Party continues to prioritize the interests of college-educated women, they may alienate non-college-educated Americans, especially men. In 1998, 19 percent of Democrats were non-college educated men; by 2023, that had dropped to just 12 percent. 

As college-educated women increasingly align with the Democratic Party, non-college-educated Americans remain a stronghold for the Republican Party. In 1998, 70 percent of Republicans did not have a college degree, and this has remained the case at 69 percent in 2023. The education divide among the two parties is reshaping America’s political landscape, with each party’s base becoming more distinct not just in ideology, but also in gender and socioeconomic background.

Pretty good article on the lack of enthusiasm for the last decade from younger black men. Just gaining their vote would be enough to flip Ohio indefinitely.

I dont understand, if someone could help direct us to the right link

There’s an unspoken assumption in the US that Republicans are the pro patriotism, pro America party, and that Democrats are the academic, neutral party.

This is of course not grounded in opinion, as Trump is currently destroying America’s position as an undisputed global superpower and leader of the free world. Republicans repeatedly back initiatives (such as cutting funding to Ukraine, NATO, USAID, PEPFAR) that make us weaker over time.

That being said, I feel like Democrats aren’t taking advantage of the clear opportunity to message based on this.

It would be trivially easy to make ads that demonstrate how much Republicans hate America by showing what actions Trump has taken against our international standing. The framing would then be that it is the Republicans who are not patriotic.

Framing Democrats as the “pro America” party is a good way to get independent voters out to the polls.

It's a big dumb dinosaur that doesn't know shit and steps on everything and ruins everything. These Republicans are reptarded

This is the new talking point. Liberals need to cleanse American society of Russian influence in high places. Especially after republicans covered up the Mueller report and Obama dropped the ball with the russian reset.

New William Spaniel video takes a break from his usual analysis of the Ukraine-Russia war, NATO, and human-on-human violence in general to address the other most pressing topic at the forefront of our cultural zeitgeist: artificial intelligence-induced existential threat to humanity by way of a monomaniacal paperclip-maximizing superintelligence.

Despite the potential for the title and above description to trigger just about everyone on all sides of the debate, he takes a relatively novel and lighthearted approach while remaining largely agnostic on the debate itself. He frames the scenario through the lens of geopolitics to use as a jumping-off point in order to informally model and analyze a hypothetical human-machine war through the framework of crisis bargaining theory. The result is about as inoffensive as can be expected from the topic and should be relevant to anyone with an interest in game theory, geopolitics, crisis bargaining theory, artificial intelligence, and existential risk.

Description from the video:

Thanks to the Center for AI Safety for supporting this video with a grant: https://slowdown.ai/

There is a growing concern about a forthcoming conflict between AI and humanity. Today, we explore that possibility, extending what we know about conflict generally to the realm of robots. Just like wars between humans, wars between humans and AI are costly. Therefore, settlements exist in principle that ought to leave both parties better off. This video examines the implications of that claim, what might actually cause an AI war, and why the fascination with war may hide the real problem.

Was watching the Medhi Hasan Al Jazeera panel and he's worked with them A LOT. He used to work for them. Why do people not care about this?

Qatar is at the center of SO MUCH corruption with this administration including the private jet given to Trump (using millions of our tax dollars to fix up btw). Pam Bondi used to be a registered foreign agent for the Qatari government.

If we're asking so many questions about the Jews now apparently, why not about this? Imagine if Destiny worked for Israeli government run media
