with more liberal leaning types moving there and things like the tech and entertainment industry .

They would never have won in 1992 .

And this doesn't even get into their race and religion which would have made them not acceptable. Even Joe Lieberman was not acceptable for them.

Some of the stuff we push is just stupid DenaliDemocrat Apr 19 #11

I agree with you on the democratic push for EVs fujiyamasan Apr 19 #14

Maybe so, but there is NOTHING that enrages more in the south... Trueblue Texan Apr 19 #18

She lost because she was a woman and because a small percentage of people thought Trump - for whatever reason - Vinca Apr 19 #12

Yes, in her case being from California wasn't even used to attack her JI7 Apr 19 #24

She lost becsuse she is a black woman . The crazy black guy in North Carolina lost also JI7 Apr 19 #23
