Mark, you know I have great respect for your ability to predict elections.
However, I really wish you wouldn't call college-educated voters the "managerial class". Most of them are not managers (and there are plenty of managers who don't have a college degree). These people are doctors/nurses, lawyers, teachers/professors, accountants, sc…
Mark, you know I have great respect for your ability to predict elections.
However, I really wish you wouldn't call college-educated voters the "managerial class". Most of them are not managers (and there are plenty of managers who don't have a college degree). These people are doctors/nurses, lawyers, teachers/professors, accountants, scientists, engineers, tech workers, even finance people. I know plenty of these people, and many of them actively dislike the person whose job it is to manage them.
That being said, I agree that the trading of coalitions hasn't been great for us. If the trade was just college-educated voters for the WWC, that would've been fine, but when the Hispanic and Asian working class moves to right as well, that's a big problem for us.

What term would be better? I used to say "college boys" but I thought was more reductive and insulting.
Also our base has more college girls than college boys.
How about just "college-educated voters"? Or is that too cumbersome?
pretty simple imo
There seems to be an itch of disparagement that "college-educated voters" just won't scratch.
Is it that college folks are the "target" - or is it more "the group who is willing to listen?"
