The best illustration of how D's and R's differ

Next time someone tries to tell you there's no difference between the D's and R's, point out that Blue states tend to have non-partisan redistricting committees, while Red states fully embrace Republican gerrymandering.

It's the most simple and concrete demonstration I can think of.

Republicans stand for what again? What "war is good for" and what "Republicans stand for" have one thing in common. Absolutely nothing.

Dems stand for something. Fortunately they stand for a lot of good things.
