Just one source but the bottom of all those lists are really red....
Not everything. I recognize that poor people in the US generally have it shitty, whether they be black, white, or other. Democrats are the ones who exploit poor people and insist it's just black people who have a shitty life in the US and yet year after year, decade after decade, Democrats do nothing to help black people or poor people. Don't get mad at me for pointing out the truth.
Fact check: False.

The state with the highest graduation rate voted Trump last election.
CA and NY have some of the worst graduation rates in the nation.

Graduation rates don't tell you how educated the population is.
Both California and NY are above the US average (which is about 30%) when it comes to the percentage of residents with at least a BA.
In fact, only 3 of the top 20 States (ranked by the percentage of the population with a college degree) voted for Trump: Utah (16th), Kansas (17th), and Montana (20th). And it's worth noting that not only did Kansas vote a Democrat into the Governor's mansion in 2018, the GOP is unexpectedly having to play defense this cycle with their open Senate seat.
It's also worth reminding everyone of the Great Kansas Experiment of 2012- where the GOP took over all levels of government in the state and rubber stamped the conservative tax policy paradise, as it were. By 2017 the state was in such horrible shape that the Legislature tried to walk back the massive tax cuts because they were dealing with almost a billion dollars in deficits and job growth was outright anemic and consistently below the US average.
Meanwhile around the same time California went in the opposite direction and enacted the liberal tax policy paradise. Up until the COVID crash, the state had been tallying billions in surpluses every year, and a significant chunk of the job growth we've seen in the past few years actually came from California.
So Rogue's point stands.
Jesus fucking Christ. This one sentence alone puts time4fun within striking distance of Seran's title. Quick, Seran! Post something retarded! Which for you means just post pretty much anything!

Do you ever have a counter argument to make or just slander and insults? If that's all you're capable of, slander and invective, than you're absolutely worthless.

You're wrong. Community empowerment, civil rights, diversity standards, affirmative action, public education funding boosts, state's making community college free, those are all plans by Democrats to level the playing field for the xenophobic right which see's any advancement of minority growth as a threat to Caucasian purity.
Affirmative action was the best approach to leveling the playing field, disregarding standardized testing which unfairly favored better funded schools and families able to arrange private tutors and studying. It simply said, we recognize the power of giving a disenfranchised individual the same opportunity available to their empowered Caucasian counterpart. And guess what, individuals given the opportunity they wouldn't normally have by and large succeed gloriously. They simply want it more and don't squander opportunities just handed to our trust fund babies and Presidents.
