Only 28%
Only 20% of women below the average (men were 38%, nearly double)
27% of democrats (28% of republicans and 31% of independents)

College educated were more successful (only 38% which shows me college fails us as a country)

So it appears a majorly of women Democrat voters bitching about Trumps policies cannot even point to Iran on a map.

Meh, this is a bit silly. [b]You don't really need to know exactly where Iran is on a map to know how/why bombing it might matter? Also, with technology, you don't really need such geography skills as much when you can look it up in 5 seconds if you wanted to.[/b]

If you are making the broader point that much of the voting populace is under-informed...well, duh.[/quote]

How incredibly pathetic that you actually believe this.

Do you have an actual argument to make, Miss Independent? Or just outrage and name calling? Same thing is happening with spelling, grammar and even ability to navigate roads. It'll probably happen with foreign language skills eventually. When was the last time you used a map or compass to get somewhere?

I use maps all the time. I’m a cartographer.  Do even know what that means?   :shock: [/quote]

Yes, I do. Citing an anomaly to prove a rule. Well done,  :roll: . Do you feel special?[/quote]

You are not bright.  Not at all. [/quote]

Come back when you have something useful to offer the thread. [/quote]

Wait. Who *doesnt* use maps? Even if they are speaking the directions, or become more advanced. Maps
Change all the time. Structures change. Roads are built. Boundaries are sometimes redrawn. You absolutely need to correctly identify a country. Far more important to know left from right and north from south, but still good to understand how many people don’t appreciate the nuances that are literally geographical for a lot of political issues.

Completely agree.  It’s the height of ignorance to dismiss the importance of geography knowledge.  [/quote]
