New by me: After this great pluralistic election, we must stop governing for the *uneducated*, older, white, often Southern minority. The only solution is education. And the #BrokenTimes must break its addiction to dining with them.

The manufacture of the low information voter requires low literacy levels, poor media practices, and propagandist "edutainment".
Attacks on teacher unions.
Hire, fire, retire control over tenure.
School vouchers.
Illiterate peasantry.
All part of a plan to destroy the foundations of a functional democracy.

Let's be clear about one thing: Black voters saved Democracy's ass. If the Democrats don't use their power to assure voting rights and erase the Republicans' racist policies, they will have every right to say, "Next time's on you all."
@jeffjarvis This fundamental truth really ought to be borne in mind by anyone clamoring to block the first African American Speaker of the House from attaining that office.
@jeffjarvis how do you propose to educate them? That’s what’s goaded them into reaction for decades. It’s really not a southern, white or male profile anymore either — it’s rural, religious, and military concentrations that are shifting minority-majority and are rather pluralistic
@jeffjarvis Jeff, there is another consideration. The very poor must be given more opportunity to escape the need for 2-3 jobs to survive and have time for bettering themselves, escape despair and vote. Most of us did have that opportunity.
