Why do the poor still believe the democratic party understands their economic struggles?

Question

Here is just one example :

Democrat Ned Lamont ,a multimillionaire businessman who spent about $4 million of his own money in the primary, is tapping his personal fortune once again. He has written checks totaling $1.5 million for his general election bid, his campaign confirmed Wednesday. Lamont gave his campaign $1 million on Sept. 11. He wrote a $500,000 check on Aug. 22.

DNC money will complement get-out-the-vote efforts already planned by the DCCC and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Labor unions also are planning to spend $40 million to get voters to the polls. And the liberal group MoveOn.org is planning to spend about $12 million to mobilize voters.

Answer 1

Because they're desperate and will believe anything that will get them out of poverty. They are manipulated. It's not right, but with the right words and enough money you can get people to believe almost anything.

Answer 2

Regardless of personal wealth, the Democratic Party is by-far the advocate for not only the poor, but for the middle (and upper middle class). It is a much more inclusive party that advocates for a much broader array of needs.

Answer 3

The Democrats are more notorius about having liberal thinkers. The Kennedys and the Shrivers are wealthy and they established the special olympics. Pls name one philanthropic organization of the republicans.

Answer 4

I'm not so sure it really matters...

The problem is that the poor (or anyone for that matter) believes that POLITICIANS should fix economic struggles.

They can only make the struggles worse. And they do.

Answer 5

Answer 6
