2. How many Poor People vs. Rich People?
...but the poor people keep voting for the rich people's best interests.

God Bless America and the Stupid Faucet.

4. I wish you would stop perpetrating that garbage.
Why the fek do you think the RW screws up the voting in the inner cities? Because the poor inner city people are steadfast Republicans??

Think one time.

6. There are poor white people in rural America
and about half of them definitely vote against their own interests. Two that I know, who have always been anti-union, just got their hours cut so far back they both quit -- after 5+ years at their big box and intentionally moving to the non-union section so they wouldn't have to pay dues. I haven't seen them long enough to get around to how they feel about union protection now. There are an enormous number of poor white people just like that.

8. If only all women felt the same way
Many are not allowed to have their own opinions either by their own choice or by oppression. Still many others do not share a progressive or liberal view that so many so called liberated women have.

Yes if all women felt the same way, things would be different.

But males have managed through time to keep women from controlling the world.

9. I agree
Sadly a lot of people vote against their own self interest. I guess you might consider this noble. People putting others above themselves. However I don't think this is the case at all. Most people think they ARE voting in their own self interest. It's amazing how off people are in how issue really affect them and how they actually affect them. Sadly most find out only after it's too late.
