@georgeob1,
Quote:I haven't seen much in the way of the inclusiveness to which you referred among the Democrat Presidential contenders.
You were referencing internecine wrangling among Dems. I suggested that this is a trope that gets recycled each election but that there is some degree of truth to it and that Dem party inclusiveness is a significant and inevitable causal factor:
- In the House, the GOP sits 13 women, the Dems seat 89
- In that body, there are currently 52 African Americans seated. Only 1 of these is Republican and he's leaving.
- In the Senate, the Dems seat 8 Jewish members and Independents seat 1. The GOP seats exactly 0.
- In the House, there are 25 Jewish on the Dem side and 2 on the GOP side
- In the House, there are 63 non-Christians. 2 are Republicans.
You point to the current Dem primary debates and apparently suggest that the current contest between "progressives" and "choose your term" is marked by the first category "shouting down" others - thus the first category are "exclusive". I have no idea what you are talking about. Warren and Sanders are beating up all the others? Cory Booker has no presence on the stage? Kamala Harris can't get a word in anywhere? Mayor Pete is invisible? Beto can't be heard over the loud bullying of somebody?
None of what you are claiming makes sense. None of it reflects reality. And boy, none of it takes even the slightest note of either the internecine battle on the right between the Freedom Caucus and the rest of the seated GOPers OR what went down in the previous GOP primary debates - "Hey Trump. You have a tiny penis"... "Hey Little Marco, my dick is enormous"
