>poor people

very little education

stupid hillbillys always vote republican. At least they're not voting for hillary and her dnc.

This. Both Republican and Democrat liars as far as the eye can see, have been stripping Americans of their rights for hundreds of years. The right to an affordable and proper education is one of those unalienable rights. This is the result, OP.

Does it make you upset that poor, uneducated people voted for somebody who didn't fit the mold of "politician"? Does it make you upset that he won? Of course it should. Action. Consequence.

Now fucking DEAL with it.

because they dont know any better

Lol what an asshole. Such a childish rant, and completely off target

as a trump supporter myself, you need to fuck outta here with that idiocy

I said DEAL with it. You LOST. You fucking LOST. Are you going to SIT there for the rest of your sheltered life and moan, "waaah, waaah, muh Hillary lost, this will forever alter the course of my life because I have absolutely no choice whatsoever over my mind and body and what to do with them!"?

Who knows? Maybe that's precisely what you'll do. Or, you'll pour some concrete in your cereal tomorrow, harden the fuck up and decide, "I'm not going to let this strange turn of events dictate who I am and what I strive for." Maybe there's hope for you in that regard. Or maybe you're a whining, latté-sipping, beanie-wearing, glasses-sporting fucking anal douchenozzle who lives vicariously through the existence of others. Somebody who's never thought for yourself. Somebody who's never WORKED for yourself.

Now shut the fuck up, don't reply to this post, get off your computer, get out there and be a MAN, you fluffy fairy-floss cunt.

Probably because there are more interests than just economic ones and because most people feel weird about being a welfare voter/bought off. There's also that "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" thing in the US where even poor people want to reward hard work and entrepreneurship instead of succumbing to jealousy.

I really think that "lol they're stupid" or "lol education" are shortsighted as explanations. People who vote just based on which party promises them more gibsmedats disgust me anyway.

>very little education
not everybody can spend 10000s of dollar to get a decent education. an not everybody wants to get in debt.

News flash: youre both faggots. Especially you for being such a spazz lol. Clown

don't even try.
You couldn't teach libcocks dignity and integrity even if you forced it down their throats.
their marxist professors have indoctrinated them to the point where they see nothing but their very own economic interest, without any consideration for the generations that might come after them.
For them "progress" means that economical success is bared, and locked behind redistribution-systems, so we all become equal(ly miserable).
They killed the american dream in the first place, and now laugh it off when you mention it to them as nothing but that: a dream.
They don't realize what they throw away, because they never reached it, and so envy everyone who did.

I said DON'T FUCKING REPLY TO ME!!!

Poor people are interested in guns, cheap food, and having a good time.

Sorry that they're not interested in keeping your not-having-fun ass in free healthcare, phones, "college" or your pathological obsession with race and creed. Maybe get your daddy to foot the bill for that stuff?

>All those unproven claims and OP takes it as truth
Way to continue to be a faggot, OP. But hey, you gotta spam social media to get paid, amirite?

because we're not niggers.

American dream is a scam buddy. Economy isnt strong enough for that anymore. Jews own everything. But youdo realize the dems and republicans and in it together right? All this political debate is just a distraction to keep the non corrupt parties by the sidelines. Theyre playing America like a fiddle lol. But keep trusting your politicians, and keep going on your spastic rages. Im sure itll make a big difference

Couple of things.

First: that is a generalization of people based on your perception, which I suspect was formed based on mainstream or social media. That is, not all republicunts are like that, and not all demicucks are actually cucks.

Second: to answer the sentiment in your question, I would venture that its because these people don't see the big picture, or see it from a point of view which hides some important aspects. Namely, if someone sees their check being drained for taxes, but can't afford rent, its easy to see how negative connotations could form.

meanwhile in OP's bedroom OP is paying reparations for slavery......

Im a different poster you fucking autistic rager. God damn are you able to keep a job with that retard temper? Did your mom drop you on your head, or were you just born a retard?

1,000's
decent education
pick one.

says the fag with fag jiffs

sad

>American dream is a scam buddy.
See what I mean?
First they over-regulate the markets, and then they complain that the market can't sustain what he used to.

>Jews own everything.
...I take it back, this is just a hillbilly who rides the same train. Funny how both sides of the extremists trash the same narrative around...

His post said don't reply, as in everyone don't reply.
It's funny you accuse him of retardation yet you cannnot comprehend what "don't reply" means - it was meant for dumbasses like you since he was talking about general fucksticks that fit your description.

Because if they were smart they wouldnt be poor

so you like gay porn.

because the rich republicans tell the stupid inbreds that democrats are evil socialists who hate the little baby jesus and want to take away their guns.

sure kid

Idk why they vote dem

nope, just until the 2020 election when president pence gets voted out

well I doing better than you so what does that say?

>dignity and integrity

sure kid

funny how poverty rates increase IN EVERY SYSTEM THAT OVERREGULATES ITS MARKETS AND INCREASES WELLFARE AS A MEANS TO REPLACE WAGES.
But yea, tell me more about how throwing taxpayer's money at hobos will improve our society.

I'm sure you are Cletus. I'm sure you are.

such as?

yawn. remember when we photo shopped his children's face into porn pictures.
neither do I.
standard liberal mentality.

Why was non of it covered in the media??

When trump protesters stop attacking random people, then i'll stop whining

yawn. any new material child?

People like him are useful idiots for people like me who hate fatass losers.

Maybe if he votes to get fatasses' welfare and special privileges taken away, he will stop being a fucking useless fatass. He could do with some starvation for a while instead of eating bullshit at McDonalds 3 times a day.

>well I doing better
not sure if inbred or russian shill

either way learn english you mong.

also because they are basicly conned by people in power. to do what they want them to do

>Thinks religious nutjobs are somehow worse than marxist nutjobs.
>Thinks I'd support one over the other.
yea, keep strawmaning me. It's Sup Forums afterall.

more of the same old, same old.

no need for photoshop with the trumps

>When trump protesters stop attacking random people

you mean the uneducated blacks that voted Hillary.

Most democratic politicians at the national level are not middle class citizens - they have parleyed their position into wealth and means for themselves and most are considered either upper middle class or upper class who are millionaires.
They put on a public facade of caring about you, while doing the exact same things republicans do - make money for themselves at the expense of the citizens as they accept gifts and deals from their political maneuverings.
Neither major party is here for your benefit anymore - you're just a useful idiot for them if you vote for them.

reading comprehension

You can say that till your ass bleeds but it doesn't make it true.

Denmark doesn't have the crushing weight of niggers and spics to hold them down.
I'm not giving any more of my taxes to niggers than I already do. Fuck them. If this was a white country I would be fine with policies like that.

The greatest trick the ruling classes have up their sleeve, is pitting the lower classes against each other.
Anyone blaming immigrants/welfare recipiants/diabled/etc for their own poor situation or the state of the country's finances - while ignoring the fact that the rich steal from us and evade taxes on a major level - is just dead wrong.

Take back what is yours - from the rich!

Shit trigger discipline

and about denmark:

what a nice prospect...

>Most democratic politicians at the national level are not middle class citizens
true but they do more to support the middle and lower classes. republicans are just in it for themselves.

Exactly this. That's what more people need to understand. The current system is plagued with corruption and there needs to be change. People need to let the government know what they want and demand it. And we need to vote for the best candidates, not just whichever asshole is most likely to beat your least favorite asshole.

...

...

sure kid

You're partially correct but no, shitskins really do fuck this place up. Tons of dumbass useless niggers that could be shipped off with no detriment, illegal immigrants can't speak English and don't pay taxes, and even legal immigrants tend to form their own little communities and keep the money there or send it back home. They are a big fucking problem too and eroding the country.

Well paid, self employed socialist, but ok.

still nothing new

see
they shrink the middle class with their policies and push them closer to the poverty-line, while simultaneously elevate those below it.
at the end of that road you have a 2-class society.
The wealthy fucks on top, and the worker-class below. What a socialist paradise they'll create (for themselves).

sure kid. paystub two minutes.

>whining about racism on Sup Forums
Man, just kill yourself newfuck. Sup Forums was racist before Sup Forums was even a twinkle in m00t's eye. Head back to shekelbook or whatever other dump your sorry underaged ass came from and suck your momma's titty.

trailer parks don't qualify as section 8 housing. That's a fat man with a fun, we know literally none of those other things.

Hah no. 95% of politicians aim to remain in the status quo. I'd say only the fringe leftists are supporting the middle and lower classes. All the socdem parties of Europe are class traitors. Maybe Corbyn isn't. Too early to decide.

see

dude, unironically being racist is just retarded.
Normally I wouldn't have any problem with racist jokes, but in political debates it's just retarded to fall back to that level.
Therefore, fuck off to the containment board, you can't contribute anything meaningful anyways.

This.
Both Republicans and Democrat politicians at all levels of government - local, state and federal - are the problem now.
Their bickering and fighting has caused the US we have now - they split and divide us, and instead of compromising with one another for our benefit, they continue to make Congressional halls and other local governments cesspits of inefficiency and likely scandal.
Not a single damn one of us is happy with any of our government, and it's all due to the politicians who don't do the job they are supposed to do.
Politics was never meant to be a life fucking long career that they could make themselves rich and powerful - it was supposed to be a way to help protect your fellow man from depredations of a hostile government.
The US has become what they fought against in the War of Independence back when our nation was founded - we've become our own enemy now, and us, the citizens, have allowed it.

literal retard detected.

...

uses "dude".

so I was right then.

Fucking lol, you mean why do immigrants and blacks vote for there continues enslavement

But niggers are literally the biggest welfare suckers on the planet, you feces-flinging troglodyte. This is a fact, sorry if it triggers your sensitive little feelings. Get the fuck out of Sup Forums, you deserve a ramrod in your pooper for being such a whiny little cunt.

too illiterate or are your fingers too fat to type?
are you the man in OP's pic?

Because subconsciously they know theyre worth nothing and want to vote for people who make life better for people who contribute towards society.

Explain how socialism works

...

happy does not necessarily equal free, nor successful.
while the regular citizen might be happy that he is provided for, he becomes unable to survive under harsher conditions (f.e. when his economy breaks down due to demographic changes (germany) or outside circumstances).
Gain wealth equals security, both for the working person and their family / offspring. Such high taxrates will make it impossible to collect piles of wealth, which means that start-ups (if it's the desired goal) can only be realized by going into debt.
This means less jobs will be created, and therefore destabilize the balance between goverment income (taxes) and government spending (wellfare/ healthcare/ a.s.o.) even more.
Socialistic systems survive on a finetuned balance that can not be guaranteed to be available to all times. And once they collapse, you find yourself under living conditions like cuba and Venezuela faster than you can blink.
a stable state is one that makes room for all of his people to strife higher, not just for those at the bottom.

A socialist cant be self employed, you fucking capitalist scumfuck. Yoy should be working for the government controlled farms.

Because rich people lied to them. Politicians and talk show hosts convince them that their hurtful policies are actually in their best interest.

Satanic checked.

True. I wonder if there is hope for the US "democracy" as long as the one-party system remains - one party staunchly sticking to rampant capitalism as the only solution.
I think you need extra parliamentary organisation. Unions, BLM, Standing Rock kind of things... but the kind of force the State uses against these groups is horrendous. And if they become a real threat to the establishment, I'm sure the national guard will keep the populace in line.
Why oh why do policemen and soldiers not understasnd they are part of the lower classes? It's time for them to change sides. That's when revolutions happen.

You give more power to the goverment and leftist stand cheering while personal freedom slowly goes away.
Its my life in Sweden.

perhaps they're the ones that know those programs only enable their shit behavior

America is capitalist and Rebublicans support capitalism. They might not be aware of the benefits they could lose electing a republican, but they remember who we are at least.

hurr, durr more wurds make me look more smart.

>But niggers are literally the biggest welfare suckers on the planet
this might be true for the USA, but in predominately white countries they are replaced by white people at almost equal rates, with similar, often equal crime / drug abuse rates.
poverty breeds leeches, regardless from which race they originate.

But yea, if I were an american citizen, I'd say "fuck niggers" as well, but still acknowledge that black people exist and can be decent parts of the society.

and since that's settled now,

Because giving up your rights and having the government control every aspect of your life is the reason the the phrase "slippery slidey slope" exists. If someone bad has the ability to take control someone bad eventually will.

Maybe not everyone in the lower class wants to be worthless human garbage andbinstead of working hard to improve their own condition they just want everyone else lowered so they wont feel bad. Smart people get rich, dumbfucks die out. Its a win win for everybody.

and less words don't equal a better comeback.

Because they're fucking stupid, that's why they're poor. They have no understanding of how political policies will influence their lives, they just go with whoever appeals to their base instincts ie bomb the mudslimes

Unions represent a significant factor in all level of politics in the USA, BLM is actually a collection of independent groups sharing a name with similar goals with no large-scale organization, and Standing Rock was a single-issue focal point for a great many otherwise unrelated groups.

University fee debt

And that's how America keeps poor people poor

You have no idea of what you're talking about.
Theory and praxis are not the same thing, and in the current situation (under capitalism), being self employed is my way of taking over the means of production, in order to work less and spend more time with things that really matter - family, exercise, art etc.

You do not have to be a slave to capital, just because you run your own business.
