“Voting against their own interests” implies there is any candidate to vote for that serves working class interests. We all vote against our own interests every time.
I try to appeal to the idea there are shared interests between classes, but to vote in that interest means a disproportionate benefit to the poorest in society. In the sense you're adding 10 to their nothing, while you're only adding 5 to somebody who already has 10. At least be up front about that shit. Libs are like "you should vote for the poor because if you don't you're evil!". It doesn't work.

I used to have a pretty big hang up with that. Getting frustrated at people who "voted outside their interests".
It wasn't until recently, like way too recently, I realized how much classism and deep-seeded racism there is to with that kind of statement.
Shit just kind of gets in you, we're all tainted by this country.
