One of the reoccurring criticisms that I see from the left over the past few years is that many Republican voters vote contrary to their "interests." Besides the fact that it's a very Marxian way to view the world I've always found the logic of this criticism to be very interesting.

In a thread below Hondo compared "metaphorically" young black leaders who support Trump to voters who are on Food Stamps voting for Republicans as an example of people who vote against their own "interests." Which immediately makes me think that in Hondo and other leftists minds they obviously believe that there is a certain way that blacks and poor people should vote. Pretty obvious that Hondo votes for Rats, so using his own logic can we surmise that he is on welfare or Food Stamps and or believes that the government should provide him with healthcare therefore, he votes accordingly in his own interests?

What about if you're on Food Stamps but you realize that it's a program that kills imitative and keeps people in poverty. Would you still be voting against your "interests" if you voted for Republicans? And how exactly is it that when blacks support Republicans they are "metaphorically" voting against their interests? Are people's "interests" shaped solely by their skin color or their pocketbook?

I'm fascinated on how white liberals are so sure they know what's in the "interests" of black voters and or poor voters.

Your assumption that people on food stamps have no initiative is based on what exactly? Absolutely nothing. Cuz you made it up. If you’re too cold hearted to help a mother feed her kids, you’re a trash human. You ever volunteer at a food bank, Bob? You ever bother talking to those folks and learning anything about them? Because I have. And I can say with 100% certainty that you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. As usual.

Bobby thinks everyone on food stamps is fat, lazy do nothing bums smoking a cigarette on their Obama phone.





That being said Bob. Congress has been controlled by Republicans for the better part of 8 years and controlled everything the last 2. What bills has been put forth by Republicans that has helped the black community or poor people?

And don't go saying the tax cut. We all know that primarily went to the wealthy business owning class and the majority of that money went to stock buybacks. And for the $30 bucks a month the average poor person made, gas and inflation has easily covered that.

So answer the question. With specific examples.

“The black community”. Speaks volumes. They aren’t individuals. They are a group. All alike.

What law would you propose that would help the “black community “?

Getting the fuck out of the way and allowing the market to employee people is the only correct answer. The government doesn’t have to do anything.

Hey Hondo, we have this thing called the Constitution, maybe you’ve heard of it. It doesn’t allow the government to create programs to assist people based upon their skin color.
