    Legitimately the point of democracy. Vote for your best interests.

    I personally don’t disagree, but I’m just making the point that from what I’ve seen, it seems like the above virtue only exists for most people up until the moment the Other Person’s best interests don’t align with theirs, at which point they’re instantly considered scum for voting for their own interests.

      Oh I absolutely get why billionares vote Republicans. Id even argue doing so isnt even a bad thing. The reason theyre pieces of shit is there brainwashing of idiots, bribes to subvert democracy, etc that rigs the playing field.

      Have you not noticed what community you’re in here? They voted against their own interests, because the alternative was voting for a black woman /* clutches pearls */. The entire point of this community is to call out people that vote against their own interests and then whine about the outcome.

        Incorrect. That is not what LAMF is. LAMF is advocating for a specific thing, baselessly assuming that thing will be done to others and not you, and then complaining when it’s done to you (or to you also).

        What you described is ‘selfawarewolves’. Different.
