Why did so many poor people vote against their interests? 
They are idiots. My dad was like that his entire life. He took advantage of every single government social program he could. Starting with the G.I. Bill for his education. Then when his business funded with government small business loans, went broke, we went on welfare, food stamps, and a bunch of other social programs that no longer exist, because he voted for Ronald Reagan who defunded them all. Then he went on to vote for both the Bushtards, while they were cutting his SSDI benefits.
It's the idiots with no education and no healthcare, working at Walmart for minimum wage that keep voting for these Republictards. Half the US population are uneducated fools who are too dumb to vote, but keep voting anyway. So the cycle of ignorance just continues.
More people would have voted for Trump, Stein or not at all if they weren't so thick and uneducated on Clinton's crimes. Please don't pretend to be liberal or democratic when you call everyone who disagrees with you and the establishment uneducated, idiots and claim they should even be allowed to vote. I could understand people voting Democrat to keep Trump out, if it wasn't devil woman Clinton at the helm. Also, they haven't got healthcare, because they cannot afford it under Obomber's bill.
You do not get to define who is liberal, or how liberals should act. Especially since you have no clue what liberalism is. Here is the definition of liberal. I relate to all of the points. Except #15. Since we don't have any liberal party in the US. I am a liberal. I am not pretending anything, and you don't get to define me.

It seems you agree with reform and progress, unless it's not the kind of reform or progress you want. You say that people you view as idiots, shouldn't be allowed to vote, so that doesn't sound like freedom and liberty. You only tolerate things you agree with. Clinton mass murders foreigners and has shown to be racist in private, but you wanted her to win. Open minded means your open to stuff you might disagree with. Stop people who you disagree with from voting sounds pretty strict.
The Liberal Democrats in the UK aren't liberal or democratic now.

There's hope for Syria and hope for the end of political correctness.
but not for people like me who will get reamed and impoverished by GOP's callous policies towards the lower class and minorities. but of course you only care about Syria, and American pofolk can just go stuff themselves, right?
You only care about yourself and being a victim. Saving Syria and WWIII is far more important than you. Obomber has done nothing for 'minorities' and the lower class. Time for a change.
IOW we pofolk can just go to hell for all you care. fine.
