Why do minorities and women in the US generally vote left wing?

[Slap47]

Women naturally follow trends instead of creating their own opinions and watch lots of mainstream media because of their traditional gender roles. They were previously the staunchest conservatives when that was the norm and reinforced by all of media and society.
Doesn't help that Republican candidates say batshit insane stuff about women.

As for immigrants, they tend to want to bring more of their relatives into the country and Republicans hate that.

Black people is literally gibs and some retarded Clinton fetish that has been manufactured by the media since the 90s.

You should vote for the candidate that will better represent the peoples interests best.

Very few people do that. Most voters just vote for the guy they think is cool and won't raise their taxes. The amount of voters who actually think about shit is a slim minority.

Hence "should"

Except you, of course.

I just vote for the guy who I think would look best in a Speedo. Female candidates should be banned as this great country was founded on the backs of Straight White Cis Men.

Because being right-wing is gay and the minorities don't like the gays

Have you seen Puerto Rico? It's chalk full of flamboyant sassy the gays

That's why Puerto Rico and Spain have the best Spics. Know from a friend. No homo.

Cubans are one ethnic group outside of white that tends to vote red. This is why Florida, despite it's huge immigrant population, is a red state. Of course what sets them apart is their giant aversion to communism/socialism because of Castro, and Democrats happen to be much more friendly to sometimes outright being those things. Maybe if shit gets bad enough a similar flip will happen. I have seen some black people advocate for conceal carry just because they need protection and the police can't do shit, for example.

For a long time, it is speculated that people move further left on the political spectrum with increasing level of higher education, and the exit poll data generally bears out this correlation, so it stands to reason that since a higher proportion of women attain higher education than men, the women will skew further left.

Also, the women are probably a big contingent of "single issue voter" when it comes to "reproductive rights", so that will also skew to the left.

The socioeconomically disadvantaged minorities probably skew left on account of their desire for "gib me dats"

I'm interested in the reasoning behind education = leftist views. Because most people agree that Universities and Colleges are in general, left institutions, they peddle leftist ideas with little to no critique. We can see the result of that at the extreme end in the US. Does higher education just brainwash people to think left=good without any counterbalance?

For (white) women that's untrue, most voted in favor of trump (and BASED nixon, if we go further back). It's true that women favor regulations, but those are largely sane ones that help their families and social cohesion as a whole. Honestly, I'll take anything that works against lolbertians at this point.

Minorities mostly vote on the basis of "what have you done for me, lately?" rather than abstract ideology as white people do. Gibs > racial pandering any day (which is why blacks voted for trump more than any other republican, he promised them less competition for gibs and menial jobs from mexicans).

You're mostly correct but you're deluded if you think white people are somehow innately more altruistic in their voting. Most people regardless of race vote out of self-interest. This has been a well-understood fact of the American voting system since the time of the Founders. Shit, a good reason why Trump won is he appealed to working-class white Democrats who felt like Trump was going to look after their jobs.

Agreed. My point there was that minorities are generally less ideological than whites; white people vote in their self-interest too, but articulate that more in terms of ideology (democrat, republican, libertarian, etc.).

Middle class whites tend to vote on feelgood basis because of how privileged they are. Kinda ironic.

Toilet seat complexions vote for reasons not too complex.

I'd say that's less "ideology" and more "political identity". Hispanics generally vote against abortion laws because they're strongly religious. Cubans are also pretty anti-Commie. That's definitely ideological.

Because the right is absolute shit at conveying their message to anyone who doesn't already agree with them. All of the big right-wing platforms, Fox News, Ben Shapiro, Rush Limbaugh, all of them get great ratings but they're only preaching to the choir. Nobody's going to happen upon Tucker Carlson DESTROYS feminist blm leader with FACTS and LOGIC on Youtube and suddenly see the light if they don't already agree with him.

And the right doesn't even try to appeal to minority voters. When you just write them off as "They just want gibs me dats" as everyone in this thread has, what black individual is going to look at that and think "These guys are writing me off as a worthless leach and making fun of how they assume I talk in the same sentence? Fantastic, I should give them a chance and see what else they have to say!"

Pandering to people based on their race isn't great, but neither is ignoring what people want. You can hold onto basic principles of limited government, economic freedom, rule of law, and individual rights, while also taking into account what certain people are concerned about. For instance, ask most black people and they'll tell you that the police treat them differently than they treat white people. I've never seen a single Republican candidate mention that concern or take it seriously.

paying attention to the black people defeats the whole point of the fascist ethnostate the right is supposedly conspiring to establish.

Then our options become to either completely change the values of the GOP by supporting welfare and selective treatment or continue to lose the minority vote. Either way we lose.

As with the majority of the posters in this thread you're completely missing the point, and repeating the same racist rhetoric that minorities will only ever want welfare and their minds can't be changed.

What I'm saying is that Republicans need to get better at persuading minorities. There's no Republican candidates campaigning in minority neighborhoods trying to argue the case for limited government and personal responsibility.

To me excessive welfare is like a drug. You can't go up to a meth user and try to sell the virtues of being meth free. They have to crash and realize they need help. Then you can start getting them on the right track.

But what do you do if they never crash? If the meth is sanctioned and handed out by the government?
