Good thing we are electing an anti-school, anti-education party. Phew for a hot second, America was a scientific beacon and that can't be acceptable /s

Neither of the major political parties could legitimately be considered pro-school or pro-education. The Democrats are certainly pro-teacher's union — but their interests are often diametrically opposed to actual student education. We'll probably need another "Sputnik Moment" to put partisan ideology aside and move forward with practical national priorities.

At this point in time - mid 2025 - I will take democrats over anything republican. I don't need a perfect party with perfect policies. I only want a non-destructive party - and Republicans are just harmful to the country.
