For some reason, voters can be brainwashed, and they vote sometimes against their own best interests, let alone voting against the interests of people who need them, like people who are disenfranchised and people who are poor and so forth.

Joyce Carol Oates

How to get people to vote against their interests and to really think against their interests is very clever. It's the cleverest ruling class that I have ever come across in history. It's been two hundred years at it. It's superb.

Gore Vidal

The truth is there are people who are quite informed who still vote against their interests. I would argue that, as a Green Party supporter, I would argue that middle-class black people are voting against their interests oftentimes.

Marc Lamont Hill

People in debt become hopeless and hopeless people don't vote. They always say that that everyone should vote but I think that if the poor in Britain or the United States turned out and voted for people that represented their interests there would be a real democratic revolution.

Tony Benn

People who don't vote have no line of credit with people who are elected and thus pose no threat to those who act against our interests.

Marian Wright Edelman

People who act against their own best interests are interesting characters.

Paul Schrader

Persuading the people to vote against their own best interests has been the awesome genius of the American political elite from the beginning.

Gore Vidal

During my time as a political strategist, one of the most vexing problems was figuring out why so many people vote against their perceived interests.

James Carville

I represent 740,000 people who live in Brooklyn and in Staten Island. And I have to vote the way I see is in their interests and their interests only.

Dan Donovan

I have two basic votes before I vote: is it constitutional, and is it in the interests of my people. If the answer is yes to both of them, then I vote for it, and I don't care who authored it.

Chris Gibson

People who vote against this today are voting against me and I will not forget.

Ted Stevens

If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong.
