Yep. There are a few cranks in Arlington who get whipped up by culture war claptrap - a few skulk around DCUM and ARLnow - but by and large, a highly educated populace is kryptonite for Republican electoral success.

I’m an Arlington liberal but find this viewpoint extremely elitist. Highly educated or extremely privileged? I think they usually go hand in hand and I’d rather go back to being the party of the working class. I think the Democratic Party does more for working people which is why I usually vote blue. However, the elitist TPs are a huge turnoff and the party is out of touch with most Americans (see school closures and other vax mandates). And, yes, my whole family is vaccinated but I was so turned off by the vilifying by the left.

Is it elitist to point out a very strong correlation between political affiliation and education?

This line always cracks me up. It's repeated ad nauseum and taken as dogma at this point, but let's take a step back. Yes, there are terminally online leftist scolds who seem to relish in taking outlandish positions on things (although the same can be said of the right, and they're perhaps much worse!).

Is it the Democratic Party that is out of touch with most Americans?

Or is it the party that agitates for tax cuts for the rich, dismantling incredibly popular government programs (ACA, Medicaid, SS, etc), and rolling back gay rights (that an overwhelming majority approve of) that is out of touch with most Americans?

Hmm. That's a tough one.

I'm an Arlington Republican, but mostly in the closet about my views except for close friends since the Democrats I know are pretty smug and self-righteous. The fellow conservatives I know are mostly religious, and I maybe attend church 5 times a year - so not close with too many of them. I'm pro-choice, and would vote for a 3rd party before I vote for Trump or Biden, but I'd vote Trump just because there may be some sanity in the policies and I don't know who is running the show in the Administration - we all know it ain't Biden.

What really shocks me these days is the Liberal Media is absolutely pushing an agenda, lying to the masses and not covering issues that makes Ds look bad. Try listening to Commentary Magazine Podcast or Breaking Points if you want some common sense policy discussions where you are not being told what to think - learn to think for yourself. The media lobs out softball questions to all Democrats, no matter how awful their policies are in the long run. At least ask the tough questions of both parties. Both parties are awful with spending, but I think Republicans have historically tried to address it without taxing and platitudes about a "fair share" that will never be defined.

Buddy, you are not nearly the free thinker you believe yourself to be.

Neither are you. Buddy.

Well, my post didn't contain any conspiracy theories or imaginary boogeymen that right-wingers with persecution complexes love to bleat about, so I'm way ahead of you on the free thinking part, at least. Pal.

What happened to dems being the party of tolerance? I thought that was the plan?

I don't speak for all Ds, but personally I'm extremely intolerant of traitors and misogynists.

Guess some people are ok with those?

So picking and choosing what your tolerant for is ok? Then that should go both ways yet it doesn't. Strange how that works. Love and acceptance one way. That doesn't sound too fair now does it?

Yes, it's OK to not tolerate traitors and misogynists. In fact, it's the right thing to do.

So let everyone else not tolerate things they don't approve of too. You're not getting it it goes BOTH ways. freedom of speech both ways too. You don't have to like it.

No one has said you can't express your treasonous/misogynistic thoughts. Go nuts.

Yes, all of you UMC conformist dorks went to the same schools and work at the same jobs and live in the same houses and drive the same cars. That’s not a selling point. You are weak, soft, white bread dweebs performing a charade with one another.

None of you have Black or Mexican friends, stupidass condescending sign in your front yard notwithstanding. You can’t fix a toilet. You can’t drive a stick. But yes you can amble around the Westover farmers market in flip flops smelling cucumbers with the best of them. Kudos.

If you think the Democratic Party in the US in 2023 is on some higher plane of enlightenment, I don’t know what to tell you. If you think the annual rubber stamping of the stunningly inept county Ds is good for the residents of Arlington, you are objectively a moron.

And FTR, and not that it matters, I’m not a Republican.

Is he perfect? No. Is he 1 billion times better than any R candidate? Yup.

Plus, he’s not a traitor and he supports women’s rights. A no brainer, really.
