19% of South Carolina Democratic primary voters have graduate degrees.

For comparison 11% of Americans have graduate degrees.

May we please put to bed the notion that our friends in the Palmetto State are not as bright as everybody else.


Thank you in advance.

5. My old man had a ninth grade education, fancy that.

He was effectively emancipated at fifteen years old when he left his parents' sixth floor Bronx walk up apartment to become a stevedore at the shipyards of Baltimore... He died when I was 14 at the age of 58 and left my mom and I a shotgun shack and a lot of debt. Through hard work I put myself through college and grad school. I am supporting Secretary Clinton.


Oh, I am white, not that it matters.

2. Nope, so far I've read that our vote shouldn't count

because we want President Obama's policies to continue & like the way things are going, our young ppl are lazy & didn't bother to show up, or we're just illiterate.

On this site.

4. I am sorry that you are seeing that ANYWHERE, but especially on a website

for Democratic supporters.

Please know that those posts do not reflect the views of the majority of us here.

8. I really thought this was a safe haven.

I'm pissed.

12. This place, and this particular form, can be very contentious during a primary

and some things are left standing that wouldn't be allowed at normal times. Skinner has mentioned changes being implemented after the primaries, it can't happen soon enough. We have people posting that are here only to make us fight, and it can take a little time to weed them out.

16. You're a good person. Thanks.

9. I know, the internet can be an evil little wonderland for

people to release all their inner demons.

Thank you for the reassuring words.

18. Part of me feels bad for people who have so little in their lives

that spreading hate and misinformation gives them purpose.
And the other part of me just wants to give them a swift kick in the pants.

10. +1 All of it. Nt

6. So much for black lives mattering.

I can't believe the racist f*ckery I've read on this forum today. I'm so mad I could spit.

[giftedgirl77]

11. Amazing right? This is why I've always said there is a certain wing

on the left that is a lot more dangerous than the right. The right will at least look us in the eye, tell us they think we're shit & try to do as much harm as possible. The one's on the left wait until our back is turned to kick us down the stairs.

[grossproffit]

14. Yep, it's like overhearing your "friends" talk about you.

Your worst fears realized.

7. Where did you find these statistics?

15. SC History of racism, bigotry, jim crow, and deep support for the Republican Party totally refute...

The spirit of your message. SC has a very high proportion of the population that lives in poverty. Those in poverty are those least likely to have access to social media. Those with little access to social media are going to get the majority of their information from the television. To anybody alive today and not brainwashed in America, we all know the television is the domain of corporate propaganda and their support of Hillary. Not poor information voters....but socially programmed voters deceived to vote against their own interests. That is the SC you are talking about my friend. Sheep to the slaughter without the information needed to save themselves. Good thing soon we will be getting out of the south and to where people gave up the TV long ago. Then we shine.

19. Put aside the highfalutin language

Put aside the highfalutin language and you are left with the sentiment that people who disagree with me are stupid. That is a sad sentiment, indeed.

[giftedgirl77]

20. Poor people have cell phones & internet as well.

We aren't cavemen.

[Lucinda]

21. SC doesn't need saving from itself...i's making that perfectly clear buy voting for the person

that can actually make a difference in their lives, and not the one who makes empty promises.

22. From where?

Just wondering ...
