I can never understand why people vote against their own self-interest
In the United States, every four years, there is a binary choice for the leader of the country. I always am amazed at how many people vote against themselves. I saw it mostly in labor unions, especially under Reagan. But in 2016, many pro-choice women were among the Trump supporters, or voted for Jill Stein.
This year, Muslims, Arabs and African Americans are peeling away from Biden. Let's get something straight, Joe Biden is the only alternative to Trump. I've seen some polls where Trump receives as high as 20% of African American male voters. Muslims and Arabs, pissed at the President because of Gaza, are demonstrating and withholding their support. Trump and his cult supporters have targeted these two groups.
With that background I thought I would give a little history lesson here at DU. In the election of 1932 and 1933 in Germany, there was a group of Jewish political activists who supported Adolf Hitler. The group was led by a man called Max Naumann,
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden), colloquially known as the Jews for Hitler,[citation needed] was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of the Third Reich that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler. In 1935, the organization was outlawed, and its founder and leader Max Naumann was briefly imprisoned by the Gestapo.[1]

When we have someone that is as bad as Spongebrains McShitmypants then who are you going to vote for. If you vote for Biden and he gets another shot at another four years then don't be bitching about how your coffee will probably cost double what it is now.

Any of you lurkers able to name one bloody thing Biden has done for any those groups you mentioned? Not gonna hold my breath for an answer, cause one, you cowards won't get in the ring, and two, there aren't any.

Who the hell is he to decide in what's my best interest?

Yet you DUmbasses voted for 20%+ food inflation, 50%+ energy inflation, mortgage rates up over 400%, and three wars under Biden's banana republic junta.. But I guess that is voting for your own interests.... in an insane asylum which the DUmp is.

It makes me wonder how those people could be so blind as to not see the havoc their president and their party has wreaked upon this country. It seems that they are conditions to hear only their party line to not see any good opposing party has done for them.
He would think that inflation, high crime rates the uncontrolled immigration, and the wars would make them wake up, but I guess that’s not enough to bring them out of their stupor!

Maybe, just maybe, the "problem" is that people do know what "their own self-interest" but that differs diametrically from what DUpipo believe it is.

Well the Trump Is Literally Hitler card isn't working so Dems gotta have something to dodge LIEden' myriad economy and foreign policy failures. OK, "myriad" is a bit of an exaggeration.

I don't expect mouth breathers like yourself to even come close to comprehending exactly what my "self-interests" might be, DUm'Rat. I also have neither the patience nor the crayons to try explaining those self interests to you at this time.
...In the United States, every four years, there is a binary choice for the leader of the country.
[snip]
Maybe YOU choose a "leader", DUm'Rat, but I'm electing a REPRESENTATIVE. The office of the President is supposed to be REPRESENTING ME, primarily in this nation's interactions with outside powers. He, she or it does not LEAD me; theoretically, s/h/it is supposed to be led - in part - by ME and the rest of my countrymen. Perhaps that's why this country is in such a sorry state, ass clown; you're putting clowns into office and expecting them to lead you, while they are looking to the likes of you mouthbreathers that elected them for whatever direction or cues they can get; the end result being that NOBODY is ****ing steering the damned ship.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
Funny you should mention LBJ... :whistling:
In fact, it is reported that Johnson, in an attempt to assuage the fears of Southern governors, said that his plan was “to have them n*****s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” Johnson’s plan worked masterfully.

....and since then, their illegitimacy rates, out of wedlock birthrates, graduation rates, and every damn thing under the sun has taken a f'n nosedive. All since abandoning the party that freed them and passed every civil rights legislation known to man ...but hey, Dims got more powerful, amiright?
The man did like his Haggar pants tho.....

Biden said he would unite us. So far he has united Iran, China and Russia. All against your "self interests" DUmbass.
