    Legitimately the point of democracy. Vote for your best interests. If the turn out is good and the majority vote for their own best interests, you end up with more good being done for the majority rather than a small subset of the population (Billionares)

      I personally don’t disagree, but I’m just making the point that from what I’ve seen, it seems like the above virtue only exists for most people up until the moment the Other Person’s best interests don’t align with theirs, at which point they’re instantly considered scum for voting for their own interests.
