Someone did a survey of Americans’ knowledge of geography recently, whether they could point to Iran on a map. none of the segments got as high as 40% of their group getting it right. Wouldn’t you think that a much higher percentage of the college-educated could point to Iran on a map? Say, 90%?

You know Bernie's free college may solve you slanted fear we are stupid. You know you could even use it to improve your basket weaving skills.

Free college is totally worthless to the vast majority of Americans. Most people are of average intelligence, and half are lower than average. How's free college going to help them? It's just welfare for people who are already going to do well in life.

Goes well with the stereotypical "fuck the working class" attitude of the far left, though. I can see why Sanders supporters like it. That and putting billionaires in gulags.

putting billionaires in gulags? stereotypical "fuck the working class? It's just welfare for people who are already going to do well in life? it's gotta be really tight in your mind no room for anything. Education is only bad for us. Got ya. And when you type this stuff Most people are of average intelligence, and half are lower than average? We all know what you wish for you really want thats to know where Iran is on a map to? Basket weaving might be as far as you can get in school. You have failed at being human. And I could feel sorry for you like I said no room in your tiny head for any of us. Who pays you to be a chudstirrer? Please your bent dick is showing.

The vast majority of people aren't cut out for college.

The withering lack of empathy for them is ugly and shocking.

But sure, let's take people who are already going to do well in life and give them even more advantages. That's the central message of socialism!
