On: Trump wins presidency for second time

Maybe a PhD isn't sufficient evidence of intellectualism, then.

PhD should never be considered a sign of intelligence. Anyone can get one if they pay enough and don't have any better prospects

They paid me (poorly). As to better prospects, meh. I graduated with an engineering degree in the naughts.

This is part of the rhetoric that pushed people towards Trump.

Instead of asking why they didn't consider voting Democrat or why Trump was a consideration you respond with the equivalent of "well maybe you're not an intellectual"

I've seen a trend of Democrats resorting to attacking anyone that has different views than they do instead of taking the time to understand.

Anyone with opposing views gets labeled idiot, racist, Nazi, bigot, etc...

It does nothing to bridge the gap and bring people to your side. The opposing view still exists without being challenged. I would imagine it just pushes some people into an echo chamber of their own.

Better evidence than party affiliation though.

Love your intellectual curiosity. The choice down to Stein vs Trump didn't raise any eyebrows?

Or why did I single out Biden for loathing and not Kamala (I pity) or the Democratic party?
