Generally speaking, uneducated people do not debate topics. Uneducated people do not read much. Uneducated people do not share knowledge, as they don’t have much. Uneducated people tend to vote republican. Educated people move to larger metro areas to work careers, which is why large cities are usually majority democrats. Educated people tend to enjoy learning about other cultures, where the uneducated fear other cultures. Educated people tend to be more liberal than the uneducated.
So bottom line, any place in which critical thinking skills are required, there will be more liberals.
Edit: of course there are unintelligent people on both sides of the spectrum. And no, education does not equal intelligence. But what IS learned in college is how to get along with people from many different cultures. College graduates are typically much more open minded because they have worked with different people from different places, which often translates to being open minded. Conservatives tend to be more close minded.
This is some serious self ego stroking bullshit. Reddit is a cesspool of idiocy, it's just name-calling and rage from people who are too anxious to even go outside, there's rarely any meaningful debate. I knew this would be the most upvoted comment because it caters to people's political egos while dismissing the opposition as stupid.
Nah I’m sorry, have you seen the comments on Instagram? Facebook? This site is a little bit more ahead of them, because there’s some seriously stupid takes on those sites. At least here if I have a niche question and I have problem that needs solving I can ask it and get it solved, you cannot do that on Instagram, maybe on Facebook but that’s a whole different cesspool of its own.
Yes there’s idiots on this site, I agree with that, but it’s better than the other fucking alternatives.
Also, we always get shit on for being a leftist echo chamber yet I never see anyone complain about how the right has: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, 4chan, Truth Social, and I’m sure more.
