FTFY.
Do you think Republicans legitimately cared about women's suffrage / voting rights back in the 19teens? (Boardwalk Empire put kind of a funny highlight on this) Political parties and politicians "change their views" to cement votes, plain and simple. Politicians don't suddenly change their beliefs or stance leading up to election years because it's "the right thing to do." As a white, straight male I haven't experienced oppression in my life but not leading a voting decision with my social views I believe gives a more pragmatic ability to judge whether someone is qualified and competent to lead our country (ie. handle a diverse, complex list of tasks). And believe me, I have a lot of deeply ingrained social views that are very important to me and how I will raise my family.
Please don't elect someone because recently they decided to believe in X, Y and Z, and X, Y, and Z are just like, so super important to me and my existence. Look at their historical track record, their trustworthiness and who they plan to surround themselves with to help them rule this country. Neither of the two top candidates offers a valid solution when viewed through this lens.
