only 35% of the US working population have college degrees.

the educated elite assume that the working class is content with overwhelming immigration keeping low wages and no health care.

how dare they want a living wage.

If your business can't pay a livable wage, then your business is a failure. That's how capitalism works.

If you base your business on workers who aren't making a living wage because as illegal immigrants, they have no rights or are afraid to assert them, that's a bad business plan.

but to democrats that is their destiny, they should have gone to Yale.

This is a bit of a jumble but doesn't support voting for Trump. Except for the part about fewer Americans having college degrees -- I do think some amount of college (not Yale but literally any college) helps people see through Trump because college tends to teach students to be critical thinkers.

But regarding wages, it's democrats who have argued in favor of a living wage (including for immigrants). Raising the minimum wage makes it harder for immigrant labor to make wages lower via competition because it creates a floor.

Democrats have made access to health care a central policy goal of the last 30 years and have done more to help working class Americans gain access to health care than the Republican party has. Trump attempted to undo that progress during his first administration by repealing the ACA and was only thwarted by members of his own party who refused to do it.

Agree businesses who base their business plan on hiring illegal immigrants and paying them poverty wages are bad businesses. Like for instance real estate developers often depend on cheap immigrant labor for construction in order to maximize their profits. This is both illegal and unethical. I wonder which one of the two major party candidates have exploited immigrant labor to build wealth?

Regarding elitism and Yale specifically, there is one candidate on the ballot this year for the White House with a degree from Yale and his name is JD Vance (he's also consistently the most condescending of the candidates unsurprisingly). Trump also attended an Ivy. Neither of the Democratic candidates attended Ivy League colleges -- Harris attended an HBCU and a state university for law school and Walz attended two state universities.

So I truly don't understand how what you wrote can be an argument in favor of Trump and against Harris.

Here is a clue. His 4 years:

low inflation + low interest rates
no new wars
better border security
tax cutes

Agreed.

And the alternative is a disaster. She can’t articulate her position on any issue, other than abortion. She had one who job during her stint as VP, the border czar, and she failed miserably. She ran from the issue because she thought it might hurt her politically.

I don’t get your mindset. We cannot afford trillions more in reckless spending and debt. We cannot afford to continue this crushing inflation and unaffordable housing. We can’t afford to have millions more illegal immigrants enter the country. Four years more of the Biden-Harris administration scares me and tens of millions of other Americans.

Trump did nothing about those issues.

Not to mention she wants pricing fixing which will cause bread lines. High taxes. There is a reason she will not do a press conference and only gaggles with planned questions from friendly media. No way can I see anyone voting for her. The country will be negatively affected for generations.

You forgot eliminating the fillisbuster. That alone should disqualify her. That people can't see how antithetical that is to represesentative government just floors me.

I’m a mature adult and can ignore that, but you don’t get how the name calling and hatred has fueled his popularity and made some groups want to fight back?
