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.
having this opinion
Why not. I have double masters from one of the world top 200 universities. My own graduate program is 6th best in the world.

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.
IMO being called poorly educated doesn't necessarily need to be taken as an insult
Like I said, we can't tell from the info here alone, so I wouldn't draw this conclusion.
