    Many other distractions, like skin color, religion, sex orientation. Poor have one advantage and that is the numbers, at least in democracies. So you need to gerrymander them in any way you can think about.

      No, having superior numbers is not necessarily an advantage. Crowds have unpleasant effects due to scale, when you’d want to organize them on some issue or even just inform them.

        I’m not talking riots, I’m talking voting.

          Even in that case. People often vote against their own best interest. Crowd effects play a big role in this.

            But still, it’s the best thing the gen pop has.
