Some sectors of the left have reduced what you're saying to a trite truism: people tend to vote contrary to their own interests. And it's that thinking that makes us further and further estranged from the right. We become less and less concerned with true working class issues, all the while telling ourselves that we're doing so much more for the working class than they are doing for themselves.
By the way, Momus, I just heard your music through pandora.com, of all places. I plan to acquire some of your records next time I have money.
