Over the last 20 years, about four times as many Democratic state lawmakers have switched to the Republican Party as the other way around.Eighty-three Democratic legislators have joined the GOP since 1994, compared with only 23 Republicans who became Democrats, Politico reported Wednesday. Five of those blue-to-red switches happened just this year.
One of those new Republicans, Georgia state representative Mesha Mainor, said Democrats "crucified" and "abandoned" her for supporting a school choice bill, prompting her party switch. After Mainor, who is black, announced her decision, internet trolls spammed her email with racist slurs, threats, and other abusive comments, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
North Carolina legislator Tricia Cotham, a longtime Democrat, in April announced her switch to the Republican Party, giving the GOP a veto-proof majority in the state legislature and dealing a blow to the state's Democratic governor. Louisiana state representatives Jeremy LaCombe and Francis Thompson also switched parties this year, along with West Virginia lawmaker Elliott Pritt.
Another West Virginia Democrat may be planning a switch. House Minority Leader Doug Skaff "resigned his leadership position last week" and may "shrink the Democratic Party's ranks even further" in the deep-red state, Politico reported.

The Democrats have become a party of the Left. Only about 20%--at most--of the population will buy in to a truly Leftist party. That's as true here as it is anywhere else on the planet. The Left gets into power through lies and violence and stays there by threats of the same.

Many radical Leftist third parties use the Democrat party ticket as their cover to get elected. These include the Minnesota Farmer-labor Party, Minnesota Democratic Farmer-labor Party, the Democratic Socialists of America, etc. All of these are far Left radical groups that run on the Democrat ticket rather than as third parties, even as they really are third parties.

That last, includes a number of current DINO members of congress, and the DSA openly espouses such radical views as Marxism, Maoism, and Trotskyism.

As that sort of insane shit becomes the Democrat norm, of course the party will lose public support.
 
Yeah I've made a couple threads on prominent democrats switching over to the republican party while in office lately.

Funny how the left claims the GOP is dying yet people are flocking to them.

We warned them that by going after Trump like they are that this would happen.

People are sick of seeing how Biden is using federal agencies to attack Trump and to cover for his own illegal activities.

Over the last 30 years, the GOP has returned a President backed by a popular majority just once, in 2004. The way things are looking, that may be the last time.

I don't think this is a good thing. America needs a working system of two major parties, and something has gone wrong with one of them. And I don't mean the Democrats.

Our elections aren't run by popular majority, not sure why you folks on the left don't get this.

The popular majority is not representative of our nation, it's only representative of high population areas.

People in the South do not think like people in the West do, all regions are different.

We have a representative government meaning the elections are supposed to represent the will of the entire nation, not just what California and New York think.

You mean presidential elections aren't run by popular majority. I didn't say they were.

IF they were, there would have been at most one Republican president in the past 30 years.

Is that something to celebrate? Okay ... rah rah for Dubya!

Probably because the highest population states for the most part are democratic.

That's why we don't do it that way.

We are a representative government.

That means all states are represented in the presidential election.

We are a union consisting of 50 states with people in them, we are not a union of 400 million people.

Now if you want to get rid of states then sure, the popular vote would be the way to go.

Besides, each state has as many electors as they have representatives in congress meaning the more popular states have more electors and those are allocated based on the popular vote.

What this means is that instead of democrats getting say 30 million votes in essentially shutting out smaller states they only get an advantage of 55 allowing the smaller states to have a bigger say in the election.

Smaller states are overrepresented in the Electoral College. Why am I not surprised that you are too fucking stupid to understand that?

That means the system works correctly since we have state elections not national elections. Trump won 30 states in 2016

In tiny amounts. Unlike the hyperbolic thing you posted.

Why are you right wingers so prone to lies and exaggerations? Is it Trump or are you all born that way?
