Watch: CEO Blasts Ivy League Mamdani Voters: ‘Annoyed Their Education is Not That Valuable’

A seismic shift in the American political landscape is being laid bare by the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York City, a victory that perfectly illustrates the catastrophic divorce between the Democratic Party and the working class it once claimed to represent. While the liberal media scrambles to paint Mamdani as a hero for the common man, the data reveals a far different and more revealing story. His core support did not come from the blue-collar workers who built this nation, but from a coalition of “highly educated, mostly young, mostly white, Brooklyn hipster types who went to all of the best schools.” This is not a movement of the people; it is a revolt of the privileged and credentialed elite.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp delivered a stunningly accurate diagnosis of the psychological rot at the core of this political movement. He pinpointed the deep-seated resentment festering within the Ivy League-educated class that forms Mamdani’s base, stating, “I think the average Ivy League grad voting for this mayor is highly annoyed that their education is not that valuable.” This statement cuts to the heart of the matter, exposing the raw nerve of a generation sold a lie that expensive, elite indoctrination was a substitute for practical skill and common sense. Their support for radical, DSA-aligned candidates is not born of a genuine desire to help their fellow citizens, but from a bitter fury that the world no longer bows to their academic pedigree.

Karp then masterfully contrasted this useless resentment with the tangible value created by the very industries and workers that the left despises. He declared, “And the person down the street who knows how to drill for oil and gas, who’s moved to Texas, has a more valuable profession. And I think that annoys the f— out of these people.” This is the fundamental battle for America’s soul. On one side are the productive citizens in energy, manufacturing, and trades—the very backbone of the America First economy championed by President Donald J. Trump. On the other are the over-educated elites who, despite their degrees, find themselves intellectually and morally bankrupt, seething with envy at those who possess real-world skills that build, power, and feed the nation.

The statistical evidence completely shatters the liberal media’s narrative. As confirmed by Third Way, “Mamdani relied on a highly educated, high-income electorate to win,” with early estimates showing he “won 55% of college-educated voters and 38% of working-class voters.” This is a damning indictment. The Democratic Party has “hemorrhaged working-class voters cycle after cycle,” and for a very simple reason: “Fifty-eight percent of working-class voters now say the Democratic Party has moved too far left, and just 34% say that Democrats are in touch with the working class.” While President Trump’s policies have created record employment and empowered the skilled worker, the left has abandoned them for a platform of woke grievance that resonates only in ivory towers and trendy urban enclaves. The voters who put Mamdani in power are indeed about to receive a harsh, real-world education in the basic economics their costly degrees failed to teach them.
