Honestly, I don't know WTF you guys are voting for these days.

You don't understand what our side is saying, obviously. You never have. But WE understand YOU guys.

Perhaps it could be explained this way. We are voting for knowledge and understanding, and you are voting for ignorance.

Or we are voting on principle, for all men being equal under law and the like.  They are voting for their tribe, which seems more acceptable and true than elitist and racist.  It seems harsh to say the tribal crowd does not value or understand principle, but minorities trying to say how it is unacceptable that their group is being regularly murdered seems impossible to explain to folks like Classic.  Things like principle are just not applicable when the us and them of tribalism dominates one's thoughts.  Under tribalism, one is supposed to reject and dominate people who are supposedly not like you.  It is a feature of the tribal way of thought, basic, not something to be ashamed of.
