It depends on the context of what you think is against my best interests. I guess my willingness to pay higher taxes because I believe that doing my part to support my community is the best option then sure.
I fail to see how voting for someone who will actively work to keep your ability to be upwardly mobile is the right decision ever. Worse protections for employees, worse oversight of manufacturing and industry. Two areas where the poor are directly impacted much greater than the top 5%, and yet people will go right ahead and throw their support to right to work laws, low to no minimum wage controls, reduction of government regulation letting those with money set the rules and be responsible for their own safety (personal and environmental.)
That's voting against your best interest.
