It is very sad how we vote.

But, as Slugworth has pointed out, she’s as cute as a button and don’t you just want to take her home with you (presumably to be barefoot and pregnat in the kitchen). Olson, on the other hand, looks like a goose who is in the process of being strangled.

oh god yeah, it happens all over the place. If someone wants to be upset a hispanic woman is voted in from a hispanic heavy district, not sure what to tell them. Fat white men have been voted in by whites for a century. For being white and identifying with their party.

even if they did, who cares???? God forbid people like to see their own in some for of leadership representing them. Who better to help out a district of poor hispanics, than a former poor hispanic?

And they voted for Juan Crowley since 1999 because of him being Hispanic too...oh right. Joseph Crowley is a white man from an Irish-American family...whelp maybe a new theory will help explain her victory?

I remember when Obama brought out black voters, and even increased the percentage of black voters in the Dem versus Rep party, and conservatives were bothered by it. Like, why? Why wouldn't a black person vote for Obama, unless they were a steadfast Republican? Why is it wrong to vote for someone you can identify with?

What's funny is that they'll say "Hispanics vote for candidates because they're Hispanic" and "black people vote for black candidates because they're black" but then insist that white people never vote for someone because they're white.

or a man versus woman, etc. Dude, people like to be able to identify with people over whatever matter they chose. It's beyond common

White people do not vote strictly identity anywhere near the rate that minorities do. Same with males voting for females.

The overall point here (it case you can't possibly understand it) is that if you are voting identity, you are not voting the issues. Your vote is basically uninformed.

probably because whites have always been represented. White men especially. You and I have zero clue what it's like to be a minority or a woman, but I would imagine if you were in a country where you were the minority, and you felt the current regime didn't fight for you, the moment a white male conservative came available for voting, you would get to the booth as fast as George Costanza leaves an apartment on fire.

Do women and minorities have any idea what it is like to be a white male?

No offense, but that argument gets tire after a while.

I could go into the …this is an English speaking western culture diatribe…but I've given up on that with this crew in here.

No, they have no idea. But they have also lived through generations of suppression, something we know zero about.

I am only trying to tell you WHY they vote for their own. Over time, if more minorities and women run for office, the allegiance to their own will quite down.
