Why?
Scientists tend to lean left

Not sure. Guess high IQ people tend to be cucks?
Alexander Young
Because both parties, in the US at least, have in recent history tended to differ more on social issues than they do on fiscal or authority issues with the exception of the past election. A lot of people vote with social issues in mind because they realize they're going to get the same result in the other fields from either candidate (more policing, more power to whoever is in the office, more bullshit), so they tend to go with whoever promises to be more socially liberal, something which is an objectively correct policy to have.
Democrats burn your money on failed social programs, and laundering efforts and Republicans burn it on Israel, funding their own businesses and growing the wealth gap between classes. Both groups have their clear cut crooks, and they have a firm unshakeable grip on our system. But we can at least try to get along with each other as we get closer each day to finally crashing and burning.

If that is true then why do niggers and spics lean left?

Something to do with High IQ people being high in "openness", which is ordinarily a good thing but sometimes takes away from practicality and thus, when asked, many high IQ people will just say they're liberal without having given much thought to the implications of full equality etc.
It does seem paradoxical that usually smart people wouldn't look more deeply into their politics

Because they're smarter than you and have learned not how to win at the game of life, but make the game make them win. They vote in their best interests. And right now it is their best interest is to play dumb and collect a handout.
You'd know how smart some of these people are if you took the time to observe them in the highschool environment. A good amount of them pretend to be dumb.

Conservative ideas are just easier to grasp. If you are some redneck that didn't even finish high school it's hard to get why it's a good idea to pay for someone's college tuition or health care. To see the greater scale you are required to have at least some basic intellect. To appeal to idiots, the benefit of your politics for them needs to be as instantaneous and immediate as possible, otherwise you just lose them.
I'm not saying that makes conservative ideas inherently stupid, they are just simpler. Admittedly though, lately conservative politicians are specifically targeting stupid people, there's no doubt about that. But again, not really because they are themselves stupid, but because they just now how politics work. You gotta know who your audience is, whether you like it or not.
Aaron Rivera
actually ugly people tend to lean left
Luke Russell
Does that contradict what was stated in the OP?
How does it feel to have a low IQ?
