Voting your hateful prejudices is a luxury, and most people know it. |
|
In hard times, people get scared and vote their wallets, which usually means Democratic. Think 1932. (I'm not talking rich people . They always vote their wallets, which in their case means Republican.) Only in good times do ordinary folk feel safe enough to indulge their prejudices at the ballot box and do stupid things like voting for Republican hatemongers. Things are only going to get worse for Leona Helmsley's "little people" between now and November, so they're going to come out in droves and vote for the Democratic candidate, whether Hillary or Barack. Race is irrelevant, gender is irrelevant. The people are going to vote for the candidate whom they believe to offer the best chance of bettering the condition of the masses.

1. JP Radical? You don't sound so radical to me. |
|
This looks like a pretty rational arguement.
