Amazing to think how many blue collar workers, who've seen wages decrease over the last however many years, place their faith in a better tomorrow with business people who have clear demonstrable track records of fucking workers over for their upside.

Never underestimate the lure of the American dream that everyone has the chance to make it big. People’s utter failure to understand the odds that they will become rich beyond their dreams is depressing. Rather than vote for a system where the weakest are supported and there is a national social safety net vs the lottery that they might suddenly become wildly wealthy people chose the path where they will most likely be shafted.
It feels like some kind of collective gamblers fallacy. Despite the poverty gap increasing people assume at some point their numbers will come up on the lottery.

Not excusing it, but the Dems also don't have a fantastic track record. NAFTA and all that. And they are also very reliant on donations, Pelosi is linked to some dodgy shares wealth and all that.
Of course, thinking the Reps are not heavily reliant on donations / bought or that the current Reps are going to fix any of this is not backed by data.
If they both suck, perhaps at least vote for the party that isn't outright going to ban people's rights and wants to end democracy as much as possible.
