Yeah and now everyone is a little fucked off with them but when the entire economy finally collapses properly everyone is going to be even more super fucked off with them but can't do anything about it because they have $700bn of weapons of their side.

Question: why do Americans vote like this? It makes no sense at all that the poorer states usually vote Republican and the wealthier ones usually vote Democratic.

Is it because American voters care more about the social/moral policies than about the economic ones? Is it because people are still butthurt about Johnson's civil rights acts? Is it because people are really easily brainwashed into voting for a party that will take advantage of them?

>> No.2637194

Nobody was claiming anything like that. Making such claims after a few posts just shows that it's your personal interpretation and not actually subject of the thread.

Doesn't really work like that. We were lucky that no one overreacted during the cold war, but when more parties have nukes there is a greater chance of escalation.

may alson have something to do with the fact that wealthier states have higher IQs on average. The correlation between political leftness and intelligence is pretty strong.

>> No.2637234

>>2637220

But in Britain, it's the other way around; the places with higher educational achievement are more likely to vote Tory.

Then again, the British Conservative party is nowhere near as bad as the American Republican party and Labour are far worse than the Democrats.

Are you sure the correlation isn't simply between having a higher IQ and not voting for a party full of retards?

>> No.2637239

>>2637186
I don't think it's an issue of Republican versus Democrat. Historically, at least for the last 70+ years, it's made little difference: they serve the interests of the wealthy elite. Obviously, Republicans are worse (e.g. Reagan), but Democrats do the same. The differences are not as big as you might imagine.

>> No.2637250

>>2637234
it may indeed be. Then again, those with the highest IQs here vote green party, and the second highest (probably no longer) vote for the liberal democrats. In the UK the two main parties are both closer together and further left than in the US, and the conservatives are probably closer to the democrats than the republicans.

They're more like to vote Lib Dem, actually. It's the wealthy that vote Tory. However, there's such a big correlation between wealth and education here that it becomes very difficult to tell.
