I'm college educated but barely make it taking care of my parents, had to quit school with 2 credits to go because the opioid national emergency Trump declared destroyed the medications that allowed me to live a productive life after a tragic accident. Then trying to work through it fucked his covid response so badly that about 40% of America called it a hoax, were encouraged by the president to deny saying 99.9% of all cases were totally harmless and recently saying young people almost never get it or have problems from it. So now I have the same ptsd, anxiety , physical pain.
Have very low doses of Xanax and no muscle relaxers anymore which my neurologist said was not only nessicary due to nerves pressing on my Spine that were inoperable but that I should have the highest dose of Soma possible but he couldn't do it only pain management can. Due to trumps opiod,Benzo and muscle relaxer war through the national state of emergency my psychiatrist would lose his license if I where to get muscle relaxers or pain medication that my neurologist says this is necessary to live.
To answer your question yes college educated and voting for Biden

BLM because US cops are killing black people and receive ZERO punishment for it, thus in the eyes of the Police Enforcement, Black Lives Dont Matter. Are U sure you are educated?

I have a master’s of science. I own stuff, including a fairly successful business. I’m not rich by any means, but I’m doing above average I would say. The way this has all worked out, I will for sure vote for Biden. Trumps policies have done absolutely nothing for me, and they have also weakened our country.

So, let me get this straight OP.
1) You claim to be not a complete sucker. 2) You claim to have acquired a relatively small yet comfy amount of capital. 3) Cannabis was legalized (as you understand it) in Cali while Donald Trump happened to be in office.
I assume you understand how things set in motion long ago can play out much much later - and just because the dude sitting in the White House is X - normally actually has little to nothing to do with it. This is one of those things. But hey, delude yourself all you want, it’s your brain - no problemo! Also, how much did you pay for your degree? But oh wait - Oh wait a sec, I’m so sorry your paying a little more on your lumber buddy, good lord Jesus save us from lumber taxes. Buddy, in a democratic republic, regardless of which party holds the keys at any particular time, someones still gotta pay for it. Red or Blue, the systems in place and you crying about it won’t change a thing.
But no no no, god forbid others from capitalizing anywhere they see fit! (That’s what you’re crying about) It’s okay to do but Not when it hurts Mario’s budget 
Hey I got a great idea....Let’s all be sure to vote for this Mario guy! I bet he’ll know how to appropriately deal with the System aka the hunkering hulking insatiable appetite - ie. Both the real & the imagined wants and needs of the populace. What’s he got going for him? He ugh, he’s got a little capital, and knows lumber prices, and can construct stuff. Oh yeah, he’s pro-weedzors, keklul. He likes Donald because now he can grow the flower and nobody is going to hurt him for it anymore, now he’ll only hurt himself with his own stupidity.
Ok. Ok.
Because of the above, you simply cannot fathom how someone would/could vote for Biden? Ie - How could someone Not vote for Donald Trump....Am I getting that right?
Because if I am, You’re a joke. And a shitty one at that.
Also, stop making cannabis look stupid, it’s people like you we have to thank for it taking so long for the stuff to come to where it has today. Which, if you hadn’t noticed, Trump could give two shits about. Also, if you pissed him off he wouldn’t think twice about fucking you over for it because, as it is, damn things still federally illegal ...and Trump is still a grifter - selling his bullshit while masquerading it as filet mignon. Mmm, yummy! For whatever reason it seems to be the choice of dog food chumps love to eat. Eat it proudly while pretending it’s 100% American made and raised filet mignon, and whose proceeds then get donated to charities that only serve the highest good.
Give me a break...
I’m terribly sorry for being the one to shoot down your pipe dream about sharing a cool natty ice with the orange man and reminiscing about better days while overlooking a prosperous country filled with weed. And to Everything you “learned” by paying for your degree - there’s 100,000’s of guys and gals snickering bc they didn’t pay someone to tell them how to run a business. Now go on & get out of here.
You say you did shrooms when you were younger? Might be about time to start thinking about taking them again bc so far all you’ve got to show for yourself is that you’re just hogging up all the good weed farming land with your bullshit.

Mario_Player said: I'm curious what drives anyone to vote democrat.
My Business degree and some extra units made me CPA eligible, but I don't know if I ever will need my CPA. I can already sign my own taxes. This training makes me basically republican.
My immediate family (3 members total) is sitting on four properties across multiple states. Each has a house and the total land is 100+ acres. I'm on the 2 acre lot (2bd, 1ba) in a densely populated area. The lot across the street is going with around 7 houses, so they pulled in around $5 to $6 million revenue. The lot two lots down did more houses, and I'm guessing they raked in around $10 to $12 million. Every time I look out my front window, I see around $15 to $20 million in revenue from around 5 acres. This ain't no fucking orchard in the middle of nowhere; It's primo land. I want to tell my dad, "Damn dude sell one of the houses, and get one of those super cars before you die." Whatever, I'm zoned commercial / residential. I worked basketball for a bit then I got into Real Estate / Property Management, but I know lumber, construction, and audit function to all of it. Selling this land would be a nightmare for anyone other than me. 6% Realtor fee? Bitch please, those rates are for a YouTubers with $30 million houses in LA worth around $10k in lumber & labor. The ultimate scam. I'd like to eventuality open a weed dispensary in the front yard with a garden on the side acre. I could call it the 6 million dollar weed dispensary.
I had to go on this tangent to show how bullshit democrats are. They try to weasel themselves into every step along the way. More regulation & tax on the sale of the land. More regulation & tax on the lumber. More regulation & tax on the construction process. It never ends with these dudes. BLM exist because of tax code. No one cares about them, because people follow up with the IRS to see if the deduction went through. So, having wealth also makes me vote republican.
To anyone questioning wealth knowing Cannabis, it was legalized in California under Donald Trump's administration. I just grew out some Skunk #1 x Green Crack x Mazar. The Green Crack breeder was so incompetent that I had to breed it back into some Chocolate Thai. I prefer adult Cannabis & not that fruity foo foo kid shit. Fruity coffee weed is still basically kid weed. I took mushrooms earlier in life, but now all my visuals come from money.
In summary, these are the things that make me vote Trump. An education in business, $15+ million viewable revenue from my front window, and an understanding of Cannabis never before seen by a Democrat. What are your reasons and why? Do you have a degree? Do you donate to BLM to lower your tax liability? Do you own land? Do you grow Cannabis? Why would you vote Democrat?
Short answer: Being raised on Disney movies and fantasy flicks where everything is perfect as long as we 'listen to our feelings.'
Real world: nothing is perfect and you just do your best to enjoy your short time on this beautiful Earth!

Educational attainment is now the number one best predictor of political affiliation, or to put that in words a Republican would understand: uneducated people are more likely to be republicans.

I have an education and money and I vote (mostly) Democrat.
It’s because I have education and money that I vote for those that don’t.
I believe that the greatest asset our country possesses is our people. We produce ideas, entertainment and influence culture worldwide because of our people. I want to see our people educated and healthy so that we can continue to produce the ideas that will change the world for the better. You can’t do this by being selfish. I believe Republicans are selfish and all this “individualism” is really just pushing people into a brutish “tribalism”: us against them bullshit.
I’m altruistic and I’m happy to pay my fair share of taxes if it helps the greater good. Self-preservation does no good if you’re the only one left.
And to the white supremacists, sorry, you’re wrong. All you have to do is watch sports, listen to music, read books or poetry to know that whites are not superior in anything except being empirical dicks. And you know it

Both parties are selfish in nature and are run by corporate interests. Stop trying to fool yourself into thinking you're a better person for voting Democratic.

Pointing out that white people have, historically, been oppressive imperialists (however snarkily it was stated - and I agree that it was a snarky comment) is not "hatred".

Is this behavior exclusive to the white race, is there something inherent in white people that produces this outcome? Is there a genetic factor at play here? If there isn't, why even mention it at all? I think you understand my point, if we want to remove race and behavior from the conversation, we can't cherry pick the issues when it comes to certain races.

I didn’t use “hate” anywhere. Is a white guy trying to debunk white supremacy with a snarky opinion racist? Then let me apologize to all the oppressed and marginalized whites out there who are offended. (Shit! I told you I can’t help it!!)
I don’t want my bullshit to derail this thread. I’m genuinely curious about what goes into voting for Trump. Like, how could you? Is there a reason to vote for him that isn’t selfish? How can he help our country move forward instead of backward?

I voted for Trump in 2016 because of his economic nationalistic campaign promises. Trump ran the strongest economic nationalistic campaign in over 50 years, that's why he won. He failed on every point of his promises, therefore there's zero reason to vote for him in 2020 in my opinion.
Does Biden have any economic nationalistic policy proposals? No, absolutely not. His tax proposal is very good, but there's no chance he will ever make an attempt to pass it. Biden will keep the status quo and tell everyone how much better everything is now. Many of his supporters will backup his claim and life will go on. The 100 year high in wealth inequality will remain the same, our corrupt police departments/criminal justice system will remain the same and our unjust wars will also remain the same as today.
