Why Poor Whites Vote Against Their Interests

Yes- because everyone knows racism is never a factor in hiring decisions in the US- or if it is, it is only against those poor white folks. Sure OK. 👌🤭

:rolleyes:

Ime you want to further institute 'racism.'

To the extent such racism exists you're not going to eradicate it by mandating "good" racial discrimination or pretending you can identify who has been disadvantaged and who has not.
 
:rolleyes:

People of every color are supporters of secret government, warmongers, monetary ignoramuses, gullible suckers, etc., and approx. 160,000,000 of them vote for/legitimize/affirm these Republicrat-level shit puppet$ who have been foi$ted into high public offices...

Ime, the phony Democrat vs. Republican :poop: shit puppet show shames all the naive suckers who participate in/support it..
I guess that's a way for you to cope.

As opposed to you who ime 'copes' by cheerleading for Republicrat-level shit puppet$ like Kamala :poop: and the rest of the miserable warmongering neocon Democrat shit puppet$ and monetary ignoramuses; whining lamely about shit puppet Trump/Republicans whose stinking rotten foreign policies are so similar to your own only a Republicrat-level fool would quibble about any of the puny differences..... soooo smart, soooo effective....

"The real enemy of America isn’t Russia or China or Iran or any other country. It’s America’s own pursuit of persistent, pernicious, perpetual, and more or less permanent war or preparations for the same. It’s undeniable. America’s war and weapons budget is a trillion dollars a year. And rising. There are no plans in the foreseeable future to reduce spending on wars and weapons. Predictably, Americans are told this colossal spending on wars and weapons is for “defense” and “national security.” This is a lie. This spending enriches the few at the expense of the many. It sustains imperialism at the expense of democracy. It serves the desires of Wall Street while ignoring the real needs of Main Street USA. And it is supported by a bipartisan majority in Congress as well as the Trump administration (and the Biden administration before it).

War and weapons are making the American people poorer and less free. Sure, some people are getting rich selling murderous weaponry around the globe, yet America itself is being hollowed out. The warmongers in charge tell us that we can’t have nice things because America, or Israel, or Ukraine, or all three need more weapons (never mind the price tag). Yet it’s our money—it’s our taxpayer dollars.

Sadly, what gives the military-industrial complex its unity is, among other things, greed and power. Congress is more than happy to serve it. So are America’s presidents. The last U.S. president to speak sincerely and powerfully about peace, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated just over six decades ago. There hasn’t been a peace president since then....


...Meanwhile, since 9/11/2001, if not before then, the U.S. military has enthusiastically embraced a warrior ethos, abandoning its own citizen-soldier tradition. America, of course, is supposed to be a constitutional republic, not Sparta or Prussia. But instead of a nation of justice and the rule of law, we have an empire and culture in which wars and warriors rule. War is not peace. Warriors don’t seek peace. War is war, and perpetual war will destroy both the U.S. empire and the kernel of democracy that remains (however weak or shrinking) at its core. The choice is clear. We must seek peace. We must cut war and weapons spending dramatically—I’d suggest by 50%—and reinvest that money in Main Street USA. We can have nice things again, if we’re willing to stop empowering the warmongers among us."

Poop and misspelling.....

Conversation fail.
 
Liberals blaming their loses on racist whites.....lol. The 33 % approval is just whites being racist ... Hahahahaha.
 
As an aside, ime political discourse in the US is inundated with Republicrat-level people [authoritardians] blathering about DEI, transvestite bathroom policies, the latest Republicrat polls, etc. relatively trifling :poop: ad nauseam.. but hardly a peep from any of them about their shit puppet politicians facilitating phony $elections, mass murder, secret/obfuscated regime-change operations around the planet, monetary injustice, etc...

Ime the priorities of Republicrats are thoroughly f'd up... ugh...
 
Why do poor whites vote against their own interests?

Lyndon Johnson once stated:

“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.”​


This statement is as true now as it was then. Corporations and their rich overlords want to maintain their power and wealth. In order to do that they must offer (through their politicians and media) 'social status.' You may be poor, but at least you aren't these black cityfolk! Or these immigrants! Or these queerfolk! And by the way... those groups are the real threats to society. Let corporate media distract you with black violence porn and scary anecdotes of bearded transwomen leering at your daughter in the public bathroom. Never mind the corporations and rich siphoning off wealth and security from workers. Never mind them whittling away union power. Sure, right-populists may take notice, and may not be too happy about it. But, in the end, it's all worth it if those 'others' get punished.

Until we acknowledge the problem it will continue to fester.
Just stuck in the past
