Mamdani’s Win Provides Still More Evidence That College Makes You Stupid
Anyone wondering about the value of a college education these days should look at the exit polls out of New York City. Because they show quite clearly that the more time you spend in college, the more ignorant you become.
Among other things, the exit polls show that Zohran Mamdani’s victory came entirely because of the support he got from those who were college educated – 57% of whom voted for the inexperienced radical socialist immigrant born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Just 42% of those without a college education were foolish enough to want this wrecking ball running their city.
What’s even more interesting is that the more time spent in school, the higher the support for Mamdani. Just 40% of high school graduates voted for him, compared with 41% of those who dropped out of college, 46% of those with an associate’s degree, and 57% of those with a bachelor’s or better.
And it’s the latter group who, contrary to everything history has taught us over the past 100 years, actually believe that Mamdani’s policies are “realistic” and that raising taxes will “help the city’s economy.”
The exit polls also show that the more recent your education, the nuttier you are, with support from Mamdani at 77% among the college-aged, dropping down to 33% among those 65 or older.
Also interesting is the fact that Mamdani failed to win a majority of the vote among those earning less than $50,000 – the people his messages were supposedly directed at – but got 52% of those making more than $50,000.
Mamdani also failed to capture the vote of those who think New York’s economy isn’t doing so well – just 46% of those who said the economy is poor voted for Mamdani. They know better than to think that tax hikes, rent freezes, free buses, and Soviet-style grocery stores will help them.
In other words, Mamdani’s support came from well-educated voters who live in an economic bubble – the people least likely to suffer the ill-effects of Mamdani’s policies.
If that doesn’t rankle you, think about it this way. Taxpayers are forking over more than $170 billion a year to subsidize colleges that make people more illiterate about history and economics, who then vote in politicians who will make all of us poorer.
