> So do you really think there are no people who have ever voted against their own interests because they were misled, or even lied to? No, but I also don't trust anyone complaining about people "voting against their own interests" to make that determination. That phrase is almost always shorthand for "they didn't vote the way I wanted them to," but often rationalized to not seem so self-serving (e.g. a partisan's biased belief the other side is uniquely full of liars, or that no reasonable person could disagree with them). Personally, I think you should spend more time worrying if you "were misled, or even lied to."
