Je55e,
DONT vote for people just because of their race or gender. THATS racist, sexist and moronic.
Have a listen to their campaign promises and if you like what they are saying, give them your vote. If they just happen to be white males, so be it. What does it matter if they’re white?
See this is the whole issue with me, it is not that they are white but it is the lack of diversity in that party that bothers me. I am sure there are many diverse republicans yet they never seem to win, why is that?
Because you and people like you buy into the popular perception that every Republican is racist. So when a person of color is revealed to be a Republican, they are reviled as a race traitor which, of course, is the most racist thing of all, but it happens. Look at what they did to Kanye. Look at how they treat Clarence Thomas and how they went after Condoleeza Rice.
It is one of the hardest things to be a minority conservative because there are such large blocks that are reserved to the Democrat vote. I am talking 80 to 90% blocks, and when someone is revealed to be outside that norm, it is open season. The more prominent you are, the more vicious the attacks on you will be. It takes true strength of character to bear up under that. Not many can.

Well I do wonder why women and minorities vote Republican when it is that same party who constantly attacks those groups.

BECAUSE OF POLICY
Holy sh#t
Look it up p-o-l-I-c-y. Normal people don’t vote based on race or sex or religion. Is this a new concept?
I understand policy lol Where is your diverse policy makers? Are you going to tell me they don't exist or that it is the white male (usual victor) who has offered the best policies over the decades and one minority, throughout the decades, has never offered ONE good policy that would get them elected?

Huh, I don't feel attacked at all.
If you're talking about abortion, well, sorry, but I still don't feel like my rights are being violated, but maybe that's because I've carried and born a child and understand the dirty little secret -- abortion violates the right of a human being to his or her life. Whatever you want to tell yourself, an unborn child is alive.

Policies against abortion (which is basically a womans right to choose). I hate abortion and would never be with someone who chooses it but I also do not think I have the right to tell another person what they can do with their bodies. They are the ones who must live with the consequences.
Polices against of the LGBTQ Community. Why is it any of your business what they do and if they want to marry or adopt? Why is any of your business if a person wants to identify as the opposite sex?

There are ZERO laws against the trannies and the gays. In fact, MANY gays, trannies and trans gender people vote republican. MANY!
Abortion laws seek ONLY to LIMIT abortion terms, not outlaw it. A person shouldn’t be able to to abort a full grown baby at nine months simply because she changes her mind about motherhood.
But still, is this all you have? Well you’ve convinced me. I will always vote for the black woman on the ballot and I will NEVER look into what her policies are. Because that would be racist.

So bathroom laws were not pushed by republicans?
Gay marriage and creating polices that would stop it and also adoption were not pushed by republicans?
Polices against Muslims were not pushed by the Republicans?
Policies for stop and frisk which effect African Americans was not push by Republicans?
Policies for voter ID laws which greatly effect minorities was not pushed by Republicans?

And bathroom laws??? Now you’re just a moron.
In 2017, the Texas Legislature debated a bill that would have required people to use restrooms and other intimate facilities that match their biological sex. The so-called bathroom bill was called discriminatory by the LGBTQ community, who said it targeted transgender Texans
Abortion — "Pass legislation to abolish abortion; including, but not limited to, enacting legislation that would ignore and refuse to enforce any and all federal statutes, regulations, executive orders, and court rulings, which would deprive an unborn child of the right to life, as well as enacting life-saving legislation such as PreNDA or a 'heartbeat bill.'"

You keep voting based on race and gender. It’s obviously a very intelligent way to vote.

Never said I voted based on race, I simply asked why does your party only vote white, where is your diversity and why do Republican minorities never win the big races?
