I provided my evidence that the left doesn't vote strictly on the basis of race and gender. The fact is, the majority of lefties have voted for plenty of white men over the years, including the likes of Mike Dukakis, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and Al Gore. Even in 2016 a white man, Bernie Sanders, did fairly well among liberal voters.
So, as you can see, when lefties think a white man is the best person for the job, they have the track record to show they're willing to vote for one... even when that means rejecting a highly qualified woman or person of color (see, for example, the 2004 Democratic primaries, and Carol Mosley Braun).
Conservatives are a different matter. Never once have the majority of conservatives backed anything other than a white male for president -- not in any presidential election, nor in any presidential primary. They vote for a white man 100% of the time. It's almost unheard of in state-wide races, too-- conservatives will pretty much never pick a black person against a white one in any senate or gubernatorial race, and it's extreme rare for them to pick women over men. The VAST majority of Republican senators and governors have been white men. Even right now, when the GOP is as diverse as it has ever been, of 51 Republican senators, 44 are white men (86%), and of 33 Republican governors, 29 are white men (88%). White men are just 31% of the population, yet they make up ALL of the Republican choices for president throughout history, and nearly all of the current Republicans serving as senators and governors.
There's no evidence that liberals and Democrats favor women and minorities for office -- they actually disproportionately favor white men, too, just not by the overwhelming margins that Republicans and conservatives do. That's consistent with the idea that liberals and Democrats are prejudiced against women and minorities, but only mildly so, while Republicans and conservatives have a massive prejudice against them. Do you have any contrary evidence? Or is it just a matter of you being unable to even fathom the idea that a black person or woman could be more qualified for a job than a white man?
