“Poor men” didn’t vote for Trump. People without college degrees voted disproportionately for Trump (men and women alike). Even then, the state you’re in and your ethnic/religious persuasion was a stronger casual factor. Trump lost in a landslide with poor black and east-asian men, for instance. And he lost on the margin among poor men in the northeast and west coast.
Trump actually won with a majority of white women, against Hillary, Biden, and Kamala. This comic neatly illustrates why.
You were not clarifying, you were making a snide comment assuming my position. I responded in kind.
I was commenting on someone mentioning that people without college degrees voted disproportionately for Trump. They implied that being poor had little to do with that statement, and I pointed out the obvious correlation between them. Not sure where the confusion is coming from.
Show proof of causation and stop bringing up correlation like it means the same thing. Braindead takes like yours would see us ban ice cream just because ice cream sales are positively correlated with violent crime.
Just admit you don’t have proof and you’re not going to do your due diligence to obtain it. How dare you blather about the importance of education while shitting on one of the first and most important things you learn in college. Correlation does not equal causation. Experiments are required to prove a causal relationship, not just statistics. Get that into your head. End of discussion.

Gee, I wonder if there’s a correlation between not being educated and being poor…
Is ‘poor people are poor because they’re stupid’ really the message you want to put out?
You know, it would be really nice if people would think before they post a stupid comment.
They’re poor because they can’t get a good job without an education, not because they’re stupid, though you might be an exception.
Fuck me for asking if you were intentionally implying poor people are stupid.

Since you apparently know what I was posting and my intent far better than I do I don’t see a reason to continue the conversation. Have a day 👋
Ah yes, correlation. The last stop of the fascist mind.
Ah yes, as we all know, correlation is now a useless word that can never be used again.

Every claim needs to be backed up. Correlation does not equal causation, period
Fucking lmao. Try getting a six figure income without college or rich parents.
