Why are white Manhattanites more liberal than others in NYC

[RINO Tom]

I don't know if they're more liberal, but they are super upper class and elite, so its not surprising they would vote 80% Clinton in this election, if that's what you're getting at.

It's not surprising that they voted 80% Clinton, but that's not why.  There wasn't a correlation of being upper class and voting Clinton, and in fact there was the exact opposite (assuming we use the ACTUAL best measure of class out there, which was income).

Stereotypical Starbucks-drinking hipster demographic, plan and simple.

Which, again, is hardly a mark of affluence, even if some associate it with (comically misplaced) elitism.

Education is the controlling factor here. The more educated you are, the more Democratic you are. The more urban you are, the more Democratic you are, the more rural you are, the more Republican.

So white Manhattanites are at the nexus of being more educated and urban. So they vote Democratic.

The less educated you are, the more Democratic you are, too.

Do not be a Marxist: quantity does not always transform into quality. The better educated you are, the more you oppose the new US regime.

I'm just saying, there are several factors that contribute to being a Democrat that have a much better correlation than education ... even though the forum would prefer to think otherwise.  The poorest and least educated in the United States are solidly Democratic.  I often hear, "well, they're disproportionately minority!"  So what?  Rich and educated Whites still vote Republican ... it's almost like there's a much better party divider!!

I know what you are saying. And I am saying something else

And I think you want that "something else" to be what defines the two parties.  It simply isn't.
