The real question should be, why do so many minorities vote for the democrats despite them not actually being on their side? The domcrats under obama could have ended no knock raids and qualified immunity, biden has voted for racist bills his whole career, harris, as attorney general of California, turned a blind eye to cops killing innocent black men until the michael brown shooting and subsequent riots. It's crazy that they help maintain the systemic racism but do a little bit of pandering so they get all the minority vote.

Kinda presupposes that minorities' biggest issues revolve around criminality >_> As for these issues, BLM mostly exists *because* Obama took an anti-police attitude and then threw his weight behind the movement. Otherwise there's a certain irony in the movement starting around Mike Brown considering that he actually did assault an officer and go for his gun, which is a 100% justified use of force. And after stirring up that trouble, Obama sent his justice department down to break some heads in Ferguson... only for Eric Holder to agree that the officers were 100% in the right in that incident (and then try to save face by suggesting that FPD had racial policing issues; of course, they hardly needed to keep that fire stoked, because BLM ****STILL**** promotes the Mike Brown fiction in their protests)

tried to stop all muslims from even entering the USA using any legal method.

...he literally used the SAME travel ban that Obama had proposed which neither blocked all Muslims nor blocked only Muslims.

Can you go ahead and make up your mind whether Democrats are leftist socialists or not Muscles? I'm getting tired of you portraying them as whatever suits your needs at the moment.

The rest of us already know that the democratic party is moderate, not left.

You could use a laugh track. Everybody knows the Democrats are left, except maybe people so far left that they're off the board. Keep in mind that HALF of the Democratic presidential candidates supported a wealth tax, something too far left for almost all of Europe (and Warren's plan went farther than anything attempted in any European nation), and those were just some of the leftist platforms that would be controversial even in Europe. Your tired bullshit claim needs a rest.

You're asking the wrong question. You should be asking, "How can the Republicans be so odious to minorities that said minorities vote for the Democrats?" If people actually thought there was a viable alternative, they wouldn't vote for either one of the parties. But at the moment there isn't, so we will continue to see people voting for whichever team they think is the "least worst."

The real question is how can some minority groups justify voting for Democrats at all when Democrats have done more to infringe upon their rights and limit their opportunities. The left in America has repeatedly cheated Asians out of opportunities -- including discriminating against them in college admissions -- yet they still consistently vote Democrat (with only a few breaks). It kinda goes to show that support for Democrats isn't being driven by policy because, if policy mattered, they wouldn't be voting that way.

Otherwise even if the Republicans took platforms more favorable to minorities than Democrats, they still wouldn't get that vote because most of the voting block is loyal to the party rather than the policies

No, the real question is why do the rich get to decide who we can vote for and why does it have to be just two parties. We should have multiple candidates from a variety of political views, and not be forced to often vote for the person we dislike the least.

It's not the rich that pick and, if it was, a lot of candidates wouldn't reach that stage.

mrduckbear posted... Republicans used to win the Asians but that switched over since the 2000s

That's actually untrue, Republicans won the Asian-American vote in the 2014 midterms by a slight margin.
