Being poor or lower middle class and voting for right wing/conservatives. You essentially give away your hard earned money and give it to ultra rich and worsen the quality of your life.. usually because the right wing scares people to be afraid of other people and new phenomena.
"People who don't support my party are stupid"
Is a pretty big "poorly educated" sign.
I didn't say that. I just said poor and lower middle class. If you are millionaire or billionaire and want to maximize your wealth, you definitely should vote for the conservatives as they transfer money from the poor majority to you.

Alright, lets have you and @squirrel_bear@sopuli.xyz both cite your education level. We can get an empirical read on this. Thanks for volunteering.
Why not. I have double masters from one of the world top 200 universities. My own graduate program is 6th best in the world.
Whatever that means. What is the equivalent level of street smarts, egghead?

You are probably just a butt hurt double master, too! Laugh out loud. Maybe even a PhD! Rolling on the floor, laughing. Truth hurts, eggheads -- but you wouldn't know anything about that! Shaking my head.
Without sharing too many personal details for privacy reasons, I likely have slightly less higher education than @squirrel_bear@sopuli.xyz. Based on the info provided alone we aren't far off, but it might be valuable to also look at non-academic experience, what field, or how we compare to others in our field or region. I'm not comfortable sharing these details, so I'm fine with conceding that I have slightly less higher education.
Edit: I’ll also add that I don’t support namecalling.
To be fair, while you didn't use the word, you did directly call him uneducated, to his face. Incorrectly, as it happens.
IMO being called poorly educated doesn't necessarily need to be taken as an insult
While this is a true statement, it is also misleading. It does not speak to whether you intended it as an insult or not. Your three terse words presented without punctuation or even capital letters would be interpreted by most people as dismissive and insulting. No effort was taken to be careful of the recipient's feelings, and it is easily anticipated by a highly educated person that it might be taken as an insult, so I can say with a high level of confidence that at the very least, you did not care if he took it as an insult or not, regardless of your actual intentions. In fact, it's my personal opinion you wanted it to be received insultingly.
it might be valuable to also look at non-academic experience
That's what I am saying! Guy probably doesn't have half your street smarts.
Like I said, we can't tell from the info here alone, so I wouldn't draw this conclusion.
