3. Yes, but maybe depends on how self interests are defined?

I remember research, done before things got this crazy, showed that most people voted their ideals, not strictly self interest, even poor people. I've never voted for a tax break because all my adult life we've always had veterans, the mentally ill and others, with grave unmet needs, but in its own way I suppose I saw tending to people sleeping under the shrubs I walked by as in my interest.

These people need to understand they should be voting for their children's and grandchildren's interests.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
