(50,254 posts)In the Chicago mayor's race, blacks voted for the conservative white incumbent who'd spent his whole first term shitting on them against the progressive challenger-and did so, from what I can see, solely because Obama wanted to save the conservative(pro-corporate is always equal to conservative)white guy out of personal loyalty(never mind that said conservative white dude spent most of his time as White House chief of staff fighting to make the administration agenda as non-progressive and anti-people as possible). Go figure.
For that matter, working-class whites often vote for the economic royalist candidate against their own interests because they've been convinced that holding down people who don't look like them is more important than actually preserving their own standard of living.
