Race and Gender Politics, Part 2
Is it any more, or less racist/sexist to vote for someone because of race and/or gender than not voting for someone based on the same?
I think either is just as bad as the other; they are opposite sides of the same coin. So, why does the left roundly condemn people for one (not voting for a candidate based on color/gender), but openly endorses and encourages you to do the other? (vote for one based on color and gender)
You can't have it both ways, left; either both are reprehensible, or both are acceptable.
Both are wrong.

Is it racist or sexist to cast one's vote for whom they choose of course not. The Progressive Elitists like to use the tactic on the low information lemmings that inhabit the Socialist Party. Madeline Albright come to mind ? They are very up front in their tactics these days. Side: Both are wrong.

If you are voting for someone simply because of their race or sex, that is wrong. However, nobody does that. The closest they come is voting for someone because of the perspective and ideological associations that tend to follow experiences of people that have said characteristic. Which means they are voting based on how said person would vote. Which is what everyone does. So enough of this nonsense already. Side: Both are wrong.

So I'm gathering that you're saying folk on the left only voted for Obama because he was black, but also criticize people who didn't vote for Obama because he's black, right? And that the same issue can be applied now a la Hillary Clinton? But if that's the case, then why are so many left-wing folk not voting for Ben Carson? Why are so many of them not supporting Hillary Clinton? Hell, the most left-wing support I've heard is directed towards Bernie Sanders, who's an old white guy. Side: Both are wrong.
