There are tons of people who don't vote based on qualifications or platform. They vote based on status group memberships. I have no reason to assume that you are or are not one of those people.

I don't think that the U.S. is truly diverse and progressive beyond the surface. So white male presidents are what I expect from us. Having nonwhite and nonmale presidents won't make me change what I believe about this country's diversity and progression and its future.

I'm not a fan of their platforms. But I took this thread topic to not have to be specifically about Clinton and Obama. I answered it generally and just used those two candidates as the context.
