    It’s assuming white racist conservatives actually care about the stats. Democrats have routinely proven they’re more effective than the Republicans with their neoliberal agenda since the New Democrats took over. You could even argue since Jimmy Carter. Still hasn’t stopped Republicans that were considered extreme for the time from winning.

      I agree completely. People who aren’t inside the US experiencing our politics first hand (and talking to people who live here too) just can’t comprehend how disconnected our politics is from reality. You gotta be here at least a little bit to wallow in the mud that is American political discourse to really get how stupid and culture-war-based it all is, for both the Dems and GOP.
