Strom Thurmond is the single senator that switched parties. There's no evidence he was racist or switched for that reason. he switched in 1964 to work on the Barry Goldwater campaign. If racism was his primary concern he would have thrown in with George Wallace or the vehemently racist LBJ.
A tiny handful switched in the house in the entire decade of the 1960s.
The poverty is by design. Poor stupid people are more likely to need live off the government teet. Democrats destroy lives and families intentionally to build a permanent government dependent voter base.
African-Americans have been voting 95% Democrat since the 1960s and have gotten absolutely nothing in return but more poverty and more broken homes.
I feel like the Republicans undermine any effort made and then point fingers when it doesn't go well. We each have our own little conspiracy theory :)
The problem is every "effort" Democrats have ever made has made the problem they were trying to fix worse.

I don't think that's true. I'm sure they weren't all successful (college loans come to mind), but I think social security is very successful. Tell me all the negative things about social security. Did it lead to pensions being stripped and people being less responsible with their money? I'm curious

it's an absurd accusation. Child poverty has been slashed by liberal programs. The very idea of subsidized public education has helped millions. we could go on all day. Come on.

Social security was a Ponzi scheme from day one. If you haven't retired yet you're going to get less money than you put in to SS. Like all Ponzi schemes it goes great for the early arrivals and is disastrous for everyone else.
It also convinced tens of millions of people that they didn't need to worry about saving for retirement.
In 1935 people lived to 60. SS was intended to be used for a a few years for a relatively small number of people.
As with all things done by the government, it failed spectacularly.
The first recipient of SS was Ida Mae Fuller. She paid $23 into OASDI. She got $23,000 in benefits. The very first recipient proved the system wouldn't work.

The American education system has been in decline for decades.
Capitalism slashed child poverty not liberal vote buying schemes.
He is not Trump. That's the most important thing to remember.
Yep. The Trumpers don't get it. We voted AGAINST Trump, not FOR Biden. I know they get hard or wet when they think of Trump, but we Democrats don't view our political leaders in that way. Trump is a serial lying, stupid, lazy, sexist, racist, egomaniacal, narcissist, criminal, POS human being, and we voted him out. Biden could play shuffle board all day for all I care (but he HAS done more...MUCH more). We were in a crisis in America with Trump as President. Biden then won and booted Trump out. Crisis averted.
Meh. A nothing story. FBI got a tip that they acted on. She wasn't arrested or SHOT AND KILLED like has happened of course to others less fortunate. This isn't the FBI coming for Trump supporters, and it's not "Biden's FBI" either.
Just BS drama from Fox News. The fact that it's a pretty blonde woman too just makes Fox viewers salivate with anger. You Trumpers are insane.
Yes..Inflation is the number one issue in the country...Democrats still trying to misdirect people...
Um...NOPE!
Inflation SHOULD be the No. 1 issue in the country, BUT the problem is that there is an anti-American movement that still has strength, and the leader of that movement, Donald Trump, needs to be severely punished for his crimes. A message needs to be sent to him, to any future despot wannabes, and to moron Trumpers like you, that Americans will not tolerate this kind of criminal behavior that threatens our Democratic Republic.

Lol, Adult probably doesn’t think public schools should exist
The economy is ruins and the Democrats are so brainwashed by the shills in the media that they think things are going well.
Ha!
The economy is hardly in ruins. Inflation is still a tad high and it didn't drop as much as expected, but so what? When the unemployment rate is well under 4%, the economy is not in ruins. We have more Americans employed today than ever in our nation's history. If we got some more immigrants to come here (we should do things to expedite this), it would be even more.
Inflation is going to continue to drop, and the unemployment rate will remain good. There is SOOO much anti-inflationary pressure right now that it can't NOT drop.
Inflation is high. Boo hoo. Gas prices still falling. Housing prices falling (and no, that's not a bad thing).
Sorry you are so poor that you can't handle a little inflation that's not even a permanent situation. Big baby.
Cities are almost all blue, so they richest cities will be blue too, but that doesn’t suit your argument. A much better comparison is counties or this.

The politicians you vote for all send their own kids to private school.
The Department of Education has spent over a TRILLION dollars just since 2000 and in that time schools have gotten worse.
The federal government has absolutely no business being involved in schools.
