I was thinking about the "against their best interest" argument recently and connecting it to the democrats.org "who we serve" page made it even worse than it seemed. Rational people not on the list should avoid them?

It appears that they have (finally!) removed that stupid page but it's still linked-to (https://democrats.org/who-we-are/) on their website. Here's a copy from June https://web.archive.org/web/20250615042752/https://democrats...



What's wrong with that page?


if you aren't on the list why would you vote against your interests?


It seems like a broad list. Who's missing that is underrepresented in government and representation?


I assume you are being obtuse or whatever but anyway -- I will attempt clarify a little more. Why did you add qualifiers like "underrepresented" in your reply?

I am not on the list. My brother is not. My son is not. Most men I know are not. That's the entire problem with making a list; you can't help but exclude.

Do democrats support me and my interests? Have I been voting against my own interests by supporting a party who excludes me from their stated in-group?

You can find many articles pointing out problems with that page, which is probably why they finally took it down.
