And tons and tons are poor in red srates
No, most of the poor in red states don't vote. That's universally true across the country - there's a small minority that do, but they're not the ones stopping universal healthcare. It's business owners, landlords, wealthy blue collar workers, farmers, and retirees.
This myth that the poor vote for their own oppression is something made up to make you hate poor people.
Ok then, I would love to see your information so I can understand it
So on universal healthcare I'm not sure, but based on party preference and voter participation it looks like right-wing poor people are a minority. There's a linear relationship between voting and income and there's a clear party preference based on income as well.
Poor people usually don't vote, and when they do they usually don't vote to the Right. I guess I'm just assuming that translates into things like universal healthcare. I need to go to work so I'm out of time to find out for sure though lol
Thanks for sharing this, I really hadn't considered it. I've never heard/seen this before but it makes a ton of sense, wish it were more visible.
I'm check it out, thanks
