Can urban liberals please tell us how to vote? You can come and help our fingers push the buttons.
Seriously, do you think this works? Do you think urban people living in poverty vote against their interests as well?

You should read "What's the Matter with Kansas?" by Thomas Frank [1] that discusses this topic at length. Yes, I do think it works: It is possible to persuade people to vote against their material or economic self-interest by inflaming passions around simple, emotionally charged "hot-button" topics that are easy for most voters to understand and react to instinctively.
