The Dem policies that would negatively affect them, they sidestep. For example, put their kids in private schools.

+1

That is if they can't get all the poor kids zoned elsewhere. Remember how well a homeless shelter in Ward 3 was received? Why aren't there day-laborer centers near all the houses they end up working in? All these things are fine for other people.

If the rich couldn't isolate themselves from the consequences of their policies, they wouldn't vote Democrat anymore.

So you are ascribing an entire population to a handful of NIMBYs who also fought a grocery store and other new development in the area. 3 years later, the facility is open and has been zero issue, just like everything else those people opposed.

Why do poor people vote for Republicans?

The poor tend to be the biggest benefactors of social programs which are always under attack by Republicans.

Because Republicans are terrible. Anti science, anti vax, anti immigrant, anti POC, anti women.... because they took away women's rights while using tax dollars to pay for Viagra. Because Nixon. Iran Contra. WMD. Jan 6. What's the worst things Dems did, an intern BJ in 1998? OK

Letting the homeless and criminals take over the nation's Capital? Shutting down schools for a year because of something no worse than the flu? Forcing people to take a medical treatment to keep their jobs? All the transgender craziness? Flirting with WWIII?

Why do people with few resources vote conservatively? As you suggest, liberal policies generally favor the disadvantaged.

Because they value their freedom? Because they know they can do it themselves? Because they don’t want to live on the government teat?

Being forced to give birth is the opposite of freedom.

Because I'd rather see the U.S. become more like Europe with a real and robust social safety net. Because I'd like to see us actually become great again and not worry as much about our kids falling out of the middle class due to bad luck or bad outcomes. I'm fine with being taxed more if I know it's going to better the country and not simply to line the pockets of corrupted defense contractors or the 0.1%.

NP. I have had the flu and Covid. Covid gave me heart problems, the flu did not. Just because you didn’t have a problem with Covid, doesn’t mean others didn’t. You can’t possibly be that self-centered.

Really? Republicans not self-centered? They truly don't understand an issue until it affects them. It's a decided lack of empathy.

My sister had the flu often. Never harmed her. Covid killed her.

Are you saying because Covid gave you heart problems, it was ok to shut down schools? In a healthy society we sacrifice adults to protect children, not the other way around.
