I used to believe this until I found people who actively vote against their own interests. For example, they know their rep will lie and try to pass a bill that will harm their access to healthcare. But they still vote for them because of party loyalty.
Again... they know exactly what will happen when they vote for them and still choose to do because of loyalty. They know they need their affordable health insurance because of something they are going through yet they'd rather lose it and have their side win. There's no reasoning with some people. You can provide stats, facts, reasons, and yet they'll still do exactly the opposite of what would bring them long term benefit.
- roel_v 9y agoSo you're saying some people find their moral convictions more important than personal gain? What a weird concept!
