It's a shame that the party that's in favor of subsidizing education didn't do better in the election. Education decreases fear and prejudice, so there's a catch-22 where we can't get people more educated and fix that without convincing them first that the problem isn't immigrants seizing a large amount of resources in a zero-sum game.
The party that's in favor of subsidizing education would've done better in the election if it had put forward the candidate who people thought would actually do so. There's going to be books written about the DNC's 2016 self-destruction for years to come.
"In favor of subsidizing education" isn't the same as "actually getting people educated", though. And that party's policies, even when enacted, haven't created an educational system that does much better at actually educating people.
