I can’t even…

If I didn’t know beyond all doubt that that wasn’t satire, I couldn’t believe it to be anything but.

Greater than $100K income makes up 7% of individuals but 34% of voters. Even going by household (assuming anyone int hat household reports that income) it’s 17% versus 34%. Meanwhile $30K and less is 36% of individuals and 17% of voters.

Mind you, Trump’s key voters are the $50K-200K range, and makes up 54% of voters and maybe 25% of individuals (and only about 35% of households). The wealthy went Democrat and the truly rich split evenly.

AFAIAA, none of the higher income groups showed a Dem majority.

It was a fairly even split; upper class America is still roughly 50/50 liberal/fascist. But since the liberals are concentrated in the disenfranchised cities, the fascists run the show.

“Brilliance”.

The GOP did not shift right, dragging the Dems after them. The Dems shifted right, pushing the GOP ahead of them.

Why would any self-respecting poor person work with these aggressively ignorant classist arseholes?

Depends on the source, for example the CNN exit polls show a 46/46/8 split in $250K and above.

Though honestly the overrepresentation is the largest issue. Statistical overrepresentation in politics has always been a bad thing favoring the ultra wealthy and white people in the US.

What’s worse is that his assistant screened the email, passed it to the DNC techs who mistyped “legitimate” instead of “illegitimate,” and then Podesta saw this and said to himself “seems legit my tech people say so.”

Which is itself a consequence of:

  1. The DNC being so corrupt/incompetent that they hired utterly useless IT security people, and;

  2. The US ruling class being so old/incompetent that they need someone else to tell them when an email is a phishing scam.
