Because they're poor and stupid

Because they're Americans

there's not a single politician that you could vote for that could benefit your interests if you're poor.

fpbp

spsbp

you do not understand American dynamics. Many people are on welfare because coal industry and manufacturing are outdated here. Trump is working to bring those industries back, so people see future jobs. People in america dont want increased hand outs (Dem). They want to work for their future (Rep).

That photo was from before the election, if you didn't know. /r/the_donald found this guy after some libshit made this mocking post of him, and hooked him up.

It's clear from the way you drop a loaded statement that you're a shill or a troll. Either way, fuck off.

The only difference is that this one is making the already rich richer.

Because the right wing relies on the uneducated and the stupid to vote for them. They're easier to fool.

They see politics as a team sport and they just go along with whatever their team tells them to do, no questions asked.

dpgp jplptqp ?

>the actual truth

also the poor are poor because they are also stupid.

How ironic. Anybody who buys into the left vs. right ideology is nothing more than a useful idiot themself. You're being divided and conquered.

Delusional retard

Please either educate yourself or never procreate, one or the either.

Trump is working hard at the golf course.

this

Because they don't see it that way

It's not really a hard question... but then I guess your question was probably rhetorical anyway

>stock market soars under trump
>trump isn't great for the economy

fucking pick one.

At what point did I state where I personally stand politically? Stop making assumptions and please stop with the black-or-white thinking.

holy shit, you either you live and breath dry sarcasm or must have graduated from tree nursery to be that gullible.

Kek. Republicans are lazy. Democrats are generally the ones who are picking shit up after your lazy ass.

How would educating himself improve his genes

That's not a well thought-out zinger tbh

>autistic screeching
well formed argument addressing absolutely no part of my statement. I have zero investment in American politics. Opinion disregarded.

>tfw cuck is too scared to be political on Sup Forums so he goes to Sup Forums to shitpost instead

Implying right wingers are stupid doesn't imply a political stance? Are you hungry for replies or something?

>Why do poor people in america vote against their own interests

What precisely are "their own interest"? Handouts? Getting something from "the government"? Not everyone in the US agrees on details, but most of us understand that a significant portion of the population has to work fuel the economy and that we can only give non-productive members so much before the economy suffers as a result.

The poor would be better served trying to better themselves than aligning with someone that is going to play Robin Hood on their behalf.

/this

Crazy how he draws something as correct as that and then 100% of the rest of the shit he draws is how democrats are stupid and republicans are geniuses.

This:

Voting affects things like the political climate of the country. After years of Democrat wins, things were getting stupid around here. People were going off about assuming someone's gender, using "S/O" instead of "spouse," "boyfriend," or "girlfriend," and we were having actual battles in the streets between black protesters and police.

They're still trying, ending the careers of famous entertainers and politicians through unproven allegations of sexual misconduct decades ago. But much of the extreme social leftist idiocy has calmed down, now. And that's how we want it, for the most part: calm.

Revolution and positive change sound good, but they're bad for actual human lives. People get caught up in the fight and lose perspective, and then people start dying over nonsense.

As far as the financial side of things, the poor are always going to be fucked-over. They always have been, and they always will be. Some people can study and work their way out of poverty, but most never will. That's just life, and no vote for any politician is going to change that.

I know things aren't perfect. They never will be. We can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Good is good enough. We all need to stop fighting and calm the fuck down.

I live in the south and I have this conversation with poor rednecks all the time, they would rather live poor in a trailer park than vote for a Nigger or woman lol!

Ahhh liberals making fun of the homeless yet again. Gee I wonder why homeless lean towards republicans.

This thread is full of shills and faggots.
Sage goes in all fields.

>implying the homeless actually vote

wew

It's also the case that poverty and violence per-capita has been plummeting while education and health have been skyrocketing world-wide for decades. Because these factors heavily influence overpopulation, we're also on track to reach the apex of human population in a few years, after which point it will fall rapidly.

We're doin fine guys, stop panicking, get off the social media, and get some exercise

The stock market has followed the same trajectory it had for the Obama presidency. Educate yourself.

is there a difference?

No not at all

yes there is

Obama: "those jobs are gone and never coming back"
Analysts: "4% growth is impossible"
Trump: succeeds where others can't or won't; S&P hits record highs all year, unemployment drops drastically
Libshits: "REEEEEEE it was Obama's doing!"

...

Maybe you're incorrectly assuming their interests?

Americanos are dumb and stupid and poor face it

Where is FOX NEWS?

It's funny because 100 IQ is normal, so according to this, most average people of the world are brain-dead.

Are you asking why poor people vote democrat? It's because they're retarded. That's why they're poor.

People, in general, are not logical.

Meaning that, whatever value they propose to have, isn't their actual, genuine and sincere mind when voting.

Generally speaking, 1-on-1 human communication is complex. A mass interaction of 100 million+ people and a single person- a voter base and a presidential candidate- is far more complex. But there are generalities that can be deduced.

There are really only two ways in which votes can be gained. One is by making voting for one candidate attractive. Or by making not voting for him repulsive or unattractive. Those are the only two options that are available. Despite what some might think, it is impossible to make another person "not vote" for "the other guy".

The way in which "poor people" vote people is simple once you narrow it down. They vote for a candidate if A) IF THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES FOR FOR DOING IT or B) IF THEY FEEL BAD ABOUT THEMSELVES FOR NOT DOING IT. There are no other options.

People DON"T actually judge how "good" or "bad" the candidate might be. What people really judge, specially poor, dumb and uneducated people, is how THEY feel about THEMSELVES.

Any person who is educated enough to know what a good candidate even looks like, will know better than to waste their time voting. It is, in fact, a waste of time at an individual level. One vote won't make a difference.

So what you have, is usually people voting to feel good about THEMSELVES for voting. That way they feel valuable in society. That way they feel that their "vote counts". If they vote for a "black guy", then they feel that they are part of a progressive movement. If they vote for a previous Casino owner with no government experience and with a previous history of being 1 billion dollars in personal debt, then they feel that they are making some big changed in the world by voting a for a political candidate who is just so absurdly unqualified that it seems like a "good idea" to them, simply because it's different.

>Trump is working to bring those industries back

Yeah, Trump is going to get all those locomotive firemen their jobs back.

Libtards always expect handouts when everything goes wrong for them. I’d rather be poor then a leech to society.

>Are you asking why poor people vote democrat? It's because they're retarded. That's why they're poor.

Yeah, that why he posted a homeless man with a MAGA hat, window licker.

'cept for that brick that says "GMO Foods"

Benny was always an idiot, I guess.

Because the myth of the American Dream has convinced many of them that they're not poor, they're temporarily repressed millionaires.

Wow I can't believe I actually laughed at this.

You clearly don't understand the basic concepts of civilization, human decency and security

God democrats will parrot literally anything the MSM says it's so pathetic

Of course. All the bad things that happened under Obama were Bush's fault. All the good things happening now are thanks to Obama.

OP, Republicans are very stupid people. You could tell them if they voted Republican, their whole family were going to be shot (and that it would be good for them). They'd vote Republican.

We're dealing with the mid-west and south. Filth. Trash. Flyover garbage. No industry. No money. The middle class where a $100k salary is a fortune.

these are laborers and welfare filth.

they won because Dems got overconfident and lost their message. and lost their way on the middle class/jobs.

Clearly, you don't. Safety nets and handouts didn't exist for the first 4000 years of civilization, and still don't exist in most places today. You are an entitled piece of shit.

At least he isn't a nigger

>what even is debt
>let's give dindus more hand-outs

because if you've voted for trump, you must be "rich."

>Libtards always expect handouts when everything goes wrong for them.

Funny how those republican congressmen voted to build military planes in their districts that were afterwards flown to a boneyard directly from the factory.

nydailynews.com/news/national/u-s-air-force-shelving-brand-new-c-27j-spartans-article-1.1479580

I call that a handout aswell.

They won because of idiots like you spouting vitriol about social classes and conflagrating racial tensions. Average people are sick and tired of your snobby SJW shit being shoved down their throats. Fuck off and die.

>Being this fucking retarded

>Revolution and positive change sound good, but they're bad for actual human lives.
Faggot

...

Because revolution and change worked so well in placed like the USSR, communist China, communist Cambodia, communist Viet Nam, and so on... right?

Oh wait, millions upon millions were killed or starved to death, and life today is just as shitty for them as it was back then.

classcuck detected
confirmed

>a democrat actually made this

5 minutes ago the right was telling us how people need struggle and purpose more than comfort. Now class consciousness is awakening and it's "muh, bluh, wuh, we don't need any bad ol' Revolushuns! Justice is...relative..."
IOTW: Pussy faggots

I'm a middle-class Canadian centrist. I don't have any dog in this fight so to speak; that's just an objective observation. Sorry if I hurt your feefees.

>I'm a middle-class Canadian centrist.
There's literally nothing left to cuck you.

Stay mad kid

I am a registered democrat. Do you have an issue?

>tfw I live a better life than you here in the states, as you suck that Muslim cock.
Stay mad. Stay poor. Stay cucked.

Straight out of T_D

Fuck off.

What are you trying to say? Not sure if I follow.

I'm sure you'll be on the front lines of the revolution, though, fighting and dying in the streets like a rat. Right? Or do you just expect other people to make things good for you? (No wonder you want a revolution, if you aren't willing to go out and work for the things you want.)

Believe me, I am deeply ashamed of my country right now. I tend to vote conservatively, but there are some issues that I lean left on. I don't think it's healthy to force yourself onto one side or the other.

How is voting democrat, a party that relies on keeping their voters where they are, Dependent on the state. Voting with their interests?

No Jamal.

Great rebuttals, guys. Keep them coming and you might get some people's neurons firing.

>Believe me, I am deeply ashamed of my country right now.
I was ashamed of you as soon as you ran away and started to suck royalist cock in 1781. Tories like to imagine that Canada has fallen from some manly ideal, but you were bitches from the time you rolled over for the Hanoverians and betrayed your republican neighbors declaring for the rights of man.

Republicans are retirees and military-industrial complex drones, how is that less state-dependent? The modern GOP wouldn't exist without the Federal Highway system.

Okay, whatever floats your boat I guess. Since I wasn't alive until 1992, there isn't much I can do to change that.

I'm curious, how do you feel about white reparations? You're kind of barking up the same tree here.

>Of course. All the bad things that happened under Obama were Bush's fault. All the good things happening now are thanks to Obama.

That's how cause and effect over time works, faggot.

>But much of the extreme social leftist idiocy has calmed down, now
youre right

>The poor wanting other nations to stop flooding the market with unskilled labor and driving down the earnings of the weakest economic class is odd

Noice. Have a random pic.

good post OP

Its the southern strategy. Appeal to the racists and boom, you got a large percentage of the population. Even Hillary hinted at that when running against Obama. Of course she was trying to appeal to Dems so she had to be careful. Trump has been the most explicit about it since the 60's. And in return the stupid get poorer and the Trumps get richer.

>Why do poor people in america vote against their own interests?
American conservative poor, in particular, are self-loathing.
Their ideology tells them that rich people are rich because they're "better" people.
This gives them two, conflicting, options:
1) I'm a good person, I _should_ be rich. I'll believe/talk/act in rich people's interest because I'm "rich people trapped in a white trash body".
2) I'm poor because I'm a bad person.

Either way, since they believe wealth=virtue, they feel morally obligated to help the wealthy, even if it costs them their lives.

>hurr durr racist rednecks
Democrat president Lyndon B. Johnson: "I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years."

90's Hillary Clinton referred to black youth as "superpredators". (This was also back when she was against gay marriage.)

There are countless other examples. Stop the holier-than-thou act, because Dems are just as bad if not worse.

See meme like these fucks up people who are sutpid. Clearly republicans are for the rich and dems for the middle and poor. Who always want to gut Medicare or Medicade republicans who wants to kill the social security republicans who killed the ACÁ or Obama care republicans. Everything to help out the poor to better themselves is cut off because the rich believe that the poor should stay poor

Idiocy of the masses, it's why Hillary got more votes.

>Dems are just as bad if not worse.
Yeah, nah.
That's like saying "Dustin Hoffman and Shaq are both taller than Danny DeVito."
Sure, but one's 5' 6" and one's 7' 1".

>Idiocy of the masses, it's why Hillary got more votes.
>implying voting trump wasn't a poorer choice

This. Uninformed brainlet liberals are easily manipulated by the press, democrats love low information voters, illegals, minorities, felons etc.

Only urban and inner city retards voted for Hillary.

People who love America all voted for Trump.

Whatever, user. If you ever feel comfortable stepping out of your bubble and echo chamber, try researching the Democrats' racist history some time. You'll be surprised. Some random search results:
