Why do working class Americans vote against their self interests?

[Dogmaphobe]

Ummmmm, they didn't..stupid. they voted against your elitist swine who were crushing them with inflation and ridiculous laws.

You all done fucked up thinking you were better than more than half of the population.

And now you get to watch your socialist plans get dismantled.

Have you ever noticed how so many of the least gifted posters latch on to this notion promoted by the democrat party that the simple act of parroting their every talking point makes a person superior?

 

[DStar777]

Neither party is immune from criticism, but the track record of your party putting corporate interests over the poor white trash they rely on for votes is pretty clear to anyone paying attention for the past 40 years.

Not the full story. Now the richest among us prefer Democrats and have for almost a decade and a half:

Polarization of the Rich: The New Democratic Allegiance of Affluent Americans and the Politics of Redistribution - Volume 22 Issue 2

www.cambridge.org

Affluent Americans used to vote for Republican politicians. Now they vote for Democrats. In this paper, I show detailed evidence for this decades-in-the-making trend and argue that it has important consequences for the U.S. politics of economic inequality and redistribution. Beginning in the 1990s, the Democratic Party started winning increasing shares of rich, upper-middle income, high-income occupation, and stock-owning voters. This appears true across voters of all races and ethnicities, is concentrated among (but not exclusive to) college-educated voters, and is only true among voters living in larger metropolitan areas. In the 2010s, Democratic candidates’ electoral appeal among affluent voters reached above-majority levels. I echo other scholars in maintaining that this trend is partially driven by the increasingly “culturally liberal” views of educated voters and party elite polarization on those issues, but I additionally argue that the evolution and stasis of the parties’ respective economic policy agendas has also been a necessary condition for the changing behavior of affluent voters. This reversal of an American politics truism means that the Democratic Party’s attempts to cohere around an economically redistributive policy agenda in an era of rising inequality face real barriers.

But it is Bidenomics and the Harris economic plans that focus on stimulating the middle class. Do what is best for the working class.

The Trump economic plan is focused on what is best for Elon Musk

It's because they're fed up with Democrats and they think they have nowhere else to turn.

 

[marvin martian]

Lol.
You are literally drowning in your misplaced sense of moral superiority.
Keep going, that shit is hilarious.

It also loses elections for DemoKKKrats, so keep it up!

 

[petro]

Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and 99 percent of the rest of Silicon Valley voted for Harris. THEY certainly voted for their best interests.

This notion that Democrats are for the little guy has become laughingly outdated.

The best part was the hundreds of millions those idiots gave to Kamalas failed campaign.
They get to eat Crow instead of Cornish Game Hen.

In a way, Kamala did make the rich pay.

Your party is extremely skilled in portraying a vastly different reality.

Some of the dumbest people I have ever seen are democrat cult members.
If Trump wins we will never be allowed to vote. If he wins we will be placed in reeducation camps. If he wins we will become slaves. Democracy will end. On and on.
There are cult members who were threatening to kill others. There are cult members afraid to go to the store, go out in public. All because they have swallowed the hate and fear campaign hook, line and sinker.
The democrat cult has become the party of the elite. The republican cult has taken their place as the party of the average American. Even you post shows it in the way you denigrate those you do not consider your equal

Indeed....And you assholes made over 74 million people feel like they were beneath dog shit on your haughty fucking snob jackboots.

They gave you punks your well deserved FU.

Why do working class Americans vote against their self interests?​

Working “class.”

I love it when LeftWanker exposes what it really is, even with simple word choices.

In any event, the so-called middle “class” and working “class” just finished voting FOR our self interests. Leftwhiner just lies and lies.

 

[Unkotare]

Liberals love to tell everyone else what "their self interests" are. Hey assholes, people can decide what their self interests are without your help. It's like the idiot democrats still don't get why they lost.

you do not know what is in the selt inferests on others.

Bidenomics hort the middle class and Harris was proposing more of the same

 

[HeyNorm]

Sure. You know what else? They made more and spent less when Trump was President. They were safer from potential crime and war escalation when Trump was President. I guess you think voters are stupid and will believe you when you tell them this isn't true???

More than that, the elite Dems will tell you that your stupid, racist, homophobic and garbage, over and over and over.

That’s the way to get them to like and vote for you……..

I hate you AND want your vote.

Brilliant, just friggin brilliant.

The middle class doesn't think struggling to pay for food and gas is very "stimulating". The Democrats think fetal murder is more important to Americans than being able to feed their kids.

Biden/Democrats economics has done nothing for the middle class but make things worse for them. Democrats vote billions of dollars that add to the debt but do little or nothing for middle class (or any other) Americans because it is targeted at special interest groups or goes for projects or interests that do nothing to improve their quality of life. It does waste the money, needlessly expands the debt, and greatly exacerbates inflation.

Middle America doesn't want temporary handouts. It wants excessive regulation and taxes off its back and more opportunity to create wealth. And it wants sensible laws to be enforced, our country to not be overrun with illegal migrants, and a strong, free, secure America with maximum liberty, choices, options, opportunity for all to improve their own lives. They want the ability to form societies and live as they want to live, that reflect their values.

If Biden/Harris or Harris/Walz had offered any of that, Harris would be inaugurated President in January.

But it was Trump who offered it and that is why he will be President.

That's how arrogant these clowns are. Not even a week after they were landslided out of the office.

Lessons not learned. And it is worrisome as the same train of thought will be used if they come to power again.

How a few of the greediest opportunists alive vote makes zero difference. The Billionaires will never save us and Republicans will continue doing nothing for workers as well.

 

[Rogue AI]

Looks like 2024 was death by a thousand cuts for liberals. Trump might have won on the economy and immigration, the blowout is because of everything else. This thread is a perfect example, liberals feel entitled to define everyone else's best interests, they feel entitled to votes based on sex, skin color, and ethnicity.

/——/ democRATs vote their self interest. Republicans vote for what’s best for the country and their children’s future.
