"People keep asking, given who Donald Trump obviously is (and what his party obviously is), by comparison with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, how can this race possibly be so close?
Brad Bannon has an answer.
From the time Trump first emerged on the scene as a candidate in 2016, the votes of non-college-educated whites have gone heavily to him, and they continue to go heavily to him.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Those voters count significantly in the swing states.
"Low-income white voters would benefit greatly from a progressive populist agenda. So why do they vote against their own economic interests?
The answer is that these low-income white voters, who lack a college education, are social conservatives."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"A clear majority of these voters were opposed to abortion in all or most cases and a plurality of them disliked the Black Lives Matter movement in the last presidential election.
Trump goes out of his way to exploit the conservative social tendencies of these voters to keep them from backing Democrats. His racially-tinged rhetoric is especially potent in a contest against a Black opponent."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"It is the reason the contest is still close, despite all of Harrisβs momentum."
That's it in a nutshell.
Education, education, education.
And a lot of us just plain do not want to be educated or to educate ourselves. Hating those we choose to imagine are responsible for the misery we inflict on ourselves and the misery inflicted by economic elites who want us to hate is simply easier.
