I do alot of work with poor people, I do alot of outreach work with people who are fresh out of jail and off the streets from drug abuse.
I've watched.... more than once.. a person come from prison and get free food stamps, free rent, free health care and then sit around and bitch about Obamacare, and they are so dumb, they don't even know what's "wrong" with obamacare, they just know that they are not supposed to like obamacare so they don't lol. Then II will see that same person go get dental work that 2 years ago, they would not be able to get, get medication that 2 years ago they would not be able to afford, then sit around and bitch about Obamacare, not realize that they are they are in fact the reason that people hate obamacare lol. Yet these people will still vote constantly against their own interest.
I almost got into a fist fight with a dude a year ago because he wanted to talk politics and he wanted to to vote out Obama even though he just got out of prison on a pretty minor drug charge,, and I was trying to make him understand that if it were up to the people he wanted to vote for he would have been locked up longer than he was, doesn't care.
I've given up all hope on our democratic system. as long as you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator our society doesn't have a chance in hell.
The elephant in hte room is that Americans are in fact, too stupid to vote. They are. The vast majority of Americans have no business voting for the next top model let alone shit that matters.
I'm from Conway, AR. It's a dry county. yes a dry f**k county lol. Now, there is a liquor store about, a 5 min drive in Pulaski County which is north little rock / maumelle, so if you wanted alcohol all you had to do was get in your car, drive 5 mins and go to the liquor store and come back home. Everyone does this. That liquor store has to be the most profitable liquor store in the country they are always packed lol. yet every year that I can remember voting for the issue to make Conway a non dry county, people would get on TV and talk about about how having alcohol in our county would corrupt people and every year they would vote it down, and every year that liquor store would laugh all the way to the bank, they have a license to print money basically as long as you have a town of 50k people with 3 colleges with NO LIQUOR. On Fridays you would litarlly have to stand outside in a line to get in the liquor store there were so many people, conway would watch all this tax revenue go down the drain every year.
We're just hopeless
