I think discussion of "voting against their interests" is misguided; those people merely define their interests differently. The culture war bulls* offered by the GOP is every bit as material an interest to their voters as tax policy. Well put. A lot of people place a high value on abortion, or fiscal policy, or any other issue, and will swallow views they disagree with on one subject to support the issue they care most about. There are definitely democrats who vote against their own interests--knowingly--and not just the super rich. I know many people who vote dem but do not agree with abortion, or do with abortion but not with social safety nets, etc. To answer s0nicfan, yes, certainly, though not frequently in the way that was implied exactly. i vote Democrat almost down the ballot but don't completely agree with every Democratic stance on every issue. gotta pick your battles. --- Playing: Yakuza Kiwami; Superhot; Vermintide 2 (~);} - I suppose it will all make sense when we grow up - {;(~) <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:905757327] in Farm group...
