Every one of those poor Americans has a vote. One vote per person, same as rich people. Experts have long noted that there are more poor people than rich people. There's nothing stopping them from doing what western Europeans did, vote in leaders who provide better working conditions, better worker protections and better pay, and other policies that reduce poverty.
If only there were a drug that suppressed political defeatism.

On the local level, gerrymandering can quite literally stop them from doing that.
- blacksqr 2y agoPoor people are (nearly) everywhere. There are far more of them than rich people. It's impossible to gerrymander them.
