The Deadly Liberal Delusion

5. I wonder why...

..I have to agree with the premise of the article, but I have what I consider to be a bigger question in this regard, and that is why do these folks in red states constantly vote against their own self interests..?

West Virginia, Kansas, and other states.. what is the one common demoninator that keeps these citizens bound to the failed ideology of the Republicon party..?

I would submit that the common demoninator in every state is the media. A deep red media keeps the citizens of that state sufficiently uninformed to all sides of the issues (hello Fairness Doctrine) and propagandized every minute of every day.

So yes.. we have to support "conservative" Democrats in these red states, but the larger challenge is to provide the truth to everyone in these states. Bernie Sanders' town hall in West Virginia perfectly illustrated that if you sit down and talk with these folks, they really, really want a way forward...
