the country is headed in the wrong direction, but then voted to send that same group back to Washington. That's the real puzzler.

It used to be you only did that if you were better off than you were 2/4 years ago. Why people would vote against their own interests is weird, and concerning.

                                                            clearly, yes, relative to the vast majority of folks in - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 23:18:52
               it's not at all puzzling to me, but per 4Tigs, I'm "stupid". - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 21:24:37
          I don't understand your end game. What do you think you - Ferg MU - 11/12 21:11:28

               What do you think is accomplished by voting?(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 21:12:33
                    then why do you come on here and ***** constantly - Ferg MU - 11/12 21:16:26
                         It is entertaining. People get so upset when their side, who - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 21:19:33
                              i've asked 3 times for a Dem supporter to tell me why they - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 21:20:15
                         If I'm not mistaken, it's partisans complaining about the - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 21:16:56
                              yet - Ferg MU - 11/12 21:18:18
                                   and? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 21:20:31
          You ask two questions - tman MU - 11/12 21:10:21
               so why attack non-participants? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 21:11:37
                    I havent(nm) - tman MU - 11/12 21:19:07
               The two party system is constantly defended. Election - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 21:11:30
                    That isn't defending it. That is batching because - tman MU - 11/12 21:20:51

               Maybe some see delusion in voting for people who do - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 21:10:19
     Not a soap opera fan I can see.(nm) - Toger STL - 11/12 21:01:26
     not voting doesn't imply not caring about what's going - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 21:01:16
