You don't need to specifically ask the question to derive the data. Sorry you are so butthurt over this but it is well accepted as fact in EVERY scientific paper on the matter. Liberal tend to suffer from depression at much higher rates.

You need to get out of your libturd bubble - even Kamala's handlers know she is stupid which is why they are hiding her from the media. Your desperation is pathetic.

"Kamala Harris has won 5 different elections, from local DA, to California Attorney General, to US Senator for the largest state in America, to Vice President
#76 | Posted by tonyroma "

Kamala HAS NEVER won an election - the DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE has. In CA, you only need to be the Democrat candidate to win and EVERYONE knows it. So how did she become the Democrat candidate? She got there through the support of Willie Brown - the 60 year old married guy she was banging to get ahead politically. That is who she is and all that she will ever be - the side-chick that failed her way to the top.

"You haven't though. You posted an OPINION piece, labeled so and in all caps and bold.

The "Opinion Piece" is just restating data from Pew Research - they are not making up data. If the Washington Times quotes the number of protons in hydrogen is 1 based on the periodic table - would you throw that out because the Washington Times is the one reporting it?

Again, your desperation is pathetic.

As for mean vs. median, not only have I told you why it is meaningless in this case (1.3M sample size) but IF SKEW EXISTS it would mean Kamala is even dumber than I posted - which is why I called it 'BEST CASE'. If we have a sample size under 30, you may have point - at 1.3M, you have a hand full of ---- that you are claiming is gold.

"Going from an IQ of 90 to an IQ of 108 is not a big leap.

#75 | Posted by LampLighter"

So, are you arguing that there are many lawyers with an IQ under 90? I really don't understand your point. I only set out that lower bound to respond to Yav's comments on Mean vs. Median - unfortunately for him, the skew would mean that the median is LOWER than the mean, which means she is dumber than the BEST CASE I posted for her. Again, all 3 of us seem to be in violent agreement with the opinion that Kamala most likely has an IQ under 108.

My posting has not changed - a 108IQ would place her at the 70 percentile for IQ

"In a sample size of 1.3M US lawyers, you think there is a significant skew? Really? You -------- are clueless.
#65 | Posted by Claudio"

That said, if we assume someone with an IQ of 90 will be highly unlikely to become a lawyer, the lower tail of the distribution probably is much smaller (likely still not meaningful in a sample size of 1.3M to introduce skew) but IF IT WOULD - it would place the Median LESS THAN the Mean - which again, supports my contention that Kamala's IQ is 108 as a BEST CASE scenario. She is probably closer to 95 - 105, which would place her as thoroughly average.

Also, I am no fan of W Bush (as I said many, many times) but I will remind all of you that his GPA at Yale blew the doors Kerry - the same guy that the Dems were also touting as some kind of genius.

"And touting "average" instead of "median" again shows you're not very smart. Averages give no meaningful understanding of how many in the data set fall higher or lower than the number calculated. Outliers in either direction can skew the results dramatically given enough in number.

#55 | Posted by LampLighter"

As you are clearly not very bright, let me give you a quick lesson in statistics. If the AVERAGE IQ of lawyers is 108 - it means that half are above and half are below that number. Thus, given her fail, I would assume she is in the lower tail of that distribution which would put her IQ UNDER 108. So, under a 'best case' scenario, she would have an IQ of 108 - which would put her at about the 70% percentile for intelligence. Now, I add that 65-75% of lawyers passed the bar on their 1st take, so saying 108 is probably being highly generous.

Can't quite comprehend the notion of "per capita" I see. If you ever learn it, I advice you not to look at FBI stats or your head will explode.

That said, I never argued black vs. white - the Dem party is over-represented in BOTH WHITE and BLACK welfare recipients. That is shown in ever study of income and political affiliation.

The Dem leadership thinks so little of Kamala's intelligence that they refuse to even allow her to have a press conference - and for good reason. We have a lifetime of stupid spewing out of this woman. But sure, go on about Trump - the guy that just did 2 hours unscripted and blew the doors off your last sack of crap candidate in a debate so badly that the Dems were forced to retire him.

You do understand how elections work, right? The side not in power generally says things need to change as they are not working. You get this concept, right? Based on your reverence for the CA bar, I can no longer make this assumption about you.

"So, your current alias admits that the base of Democrats tends to be the lower and middle class working people, while the base of the Republicans tends to be the wealthy."

No - I disagree with working part for the poor liberals. They tend to have a 100% lock on the welfare class with average hours worked way less than the conservatives.

"How do we raise the educational opportunities of the lower and middle class?"

Let's look at some uniquely liberal areas: Detroit spends $16,742 per student each year...Baltimore school system is now spending $22,424 per student...or the LeBron James charter school. Overall in the US, the average is $15,633. So, why then does Detroit, Baltimore, and the LeBron James charter school combined produce under 10 students annually that are proficient in both math and English? Let me guess - your solution is MORE MONEY.

"Or do the republicans just want to keep the lower and middle class "in their place?"
For starters, why does Project 2025 want to eliminate the Department of Education?""

As shown in the stats, there is a big difference between 'educated' and 'college educated'. Liberals have much higher rates of being college educated than conservatives - yet, conservatives have much, much better economic outcomes and have better mastery of math and verbal reasoning - both as shown in the scientific data we both agree on above.

So, the question I have for you - since the programs your side has pushed for the last 50 years have resulted in a ever worsening results - why do you persist in pushing them? You think the US public schools will turn it around if only they had another $100B? We would have test scores like Norway, Japan, or S. Korea? Really? If we keep pushing kids into college that are unequipped to succeed and then let them take majors with no economic hope of payback - this, will magically change somehow? There will a much higher demand for gender studies majors in the year 2035?

He probably would have passed the first time as the CA bar is not that big of a deal. I have many friends that passed it on the first go - some from top schools, some from crappy no-name schools. But, this is just speculation and not based on the science like: Liberals are stupid, poor, and have mental illnesses at much higher rates than conservatives.

"#36 | Posted by LampLighter"

Hats off to you - and I completely agree with you (as does the science): Liberals are stupid, poor, and have mental illnesses at much higher rates than conservatives.

I just don't see how any of those statements of fact in any way counter any single point I made on this article.

Trump agreed to take cognitive tests as the POTUS and states all candidates should be required. Yet, Biden refused - we all told you -------- his brain was broken but you were in denial until a month ago.

And now we have Kamala - the girl that couldn't get accepted at a competitive university despite being from a wealthy family and being a triple-minority and then failed her bar exam (no, not the AOC bar exam but the legal one) and will also refuse to take any test of cognitive ability.
