It has to do with the actual topic. People being condemned for voting for what others see as against their best interests.
The point being an old one. You can not expect others to do what you would not do.
Obama said he would end the wears which he took steps to, more so than the man before and after him. We can argue the finer points of that on another post. Trump ran on a platform of decimating the safety net, so not exactly apples to apples.
no- actually- using logic and reasoning I think point OP was making was that in places that elected a man to slash the safety net nearly 20% of working age people really on said benefits...That these people vote against their self interest for some reason? Yet I'm sure they feel their benefits are earned or justified and other people, especially those in urban area, are the leeches.....
How do you know those 20% on disability even voted.

Syria, Libya, Yemen.
You still can not do what you expect others to do.
Low wages disincentivize work. The average SSDI payment is $1170/mo. Minimum wage is $1160/mo BEFORE taxes. Then you have to factor in transportation cost to and from work (and in many cases, daycare). I would much rather stay home and raise my kid than work for LESS money. There is no nobility in putting your kid in daycare and being POORER just to say you're working. If we adopted a living wage, more of these people would go to work.
Many who voted for Obama to end the wars ended up seeing theirs sons and daughters get sent off to fight in them also.
People whose children voluntarily joined the military during two wars, thought that by voting for Obama the wars would magically end abruptly?
We pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan on timetables agreed upon by GW, the Pentagon and Iraqi/Afghani leadership.
Did I miss your point somehow?
