Quo Vadis, Democrats?

[viper37]

For as long as I can remember Dems have pushed an idea that education will lift up minorities, the working class and the poor.  In practice you can't pull everyone up into good job through education.  There are only so many positions and not everyone is really good at school. We can't all be gifted.  So we lift up a few people into a comfortable life style but leave the rest to rot.  Not being bright is not a good enough reason to live in poverty.

Does education strictly mean college+ to you?
My understanding of education in the US is that it is very unequal from the beginning, being mostly funded at country level, mostly, right?  Rich neighborhoods get better primary and high school education, poorer neighborhoods lack basic services like enough speech therapists and psycho educators, along with typical criminal problems related to these neighborhoods.  Richer people can afford private education, poorer people can not, and poorer people have less chances to complete their high school, even if they would have the talent for it.

Also, even if you don't have academic talent, education can mean access  to decent professional schools, or technical college.  Outside of military.

Or you know, having a decent healthcare system.  Not that the Dems tried to fix this a couple of times and got flatly rejected for it by their electors (see Clinton's mid terms, Obama's mid terms).

At some point, the left will have to stop acting stupid too.  They can't get 100% of what they want.  They either settle for 80% or they get the GOP to worsen the situation of most who aren't born rich.
