You answered none of my questions. What have the Democrats done to improve quality is life? Which of their policies benefit average, everyday Americans? > Okay, let's compare and constrast this to some GOP-led major cities then. It's easy enough to go 'oh the democrats ran these cities into the ground' but lets actually have a comparison against cities of a similar size and status led by republicans. Feel free to. I’m personally not aware of any large cities that have been run by Republicans for decades straight that are in similar condition to the 4 I mentioned, so I’d love to learn of them. Don’t dodge the basic question of what have the Democrats done for everyday quality of life.

You're the one making the claims, you're the one that needs to provide the proof for your claims. > Don’t dodge the basic question of what have the Democrats done for everyday quality of life. You first.

  Why are my questions not relevant? I’m not saying the Republicans are good on these issues, honestly I don’t think they are. However the burden of proof is on you to tell me how the Democrats have improved the quality of life of average Americans. The fact that you haven’t so far tells me that you probably can’t.

    Notice how I never even mentioned democrats until you did. Your questions are irrelevant because I'm not here to do a compare and contrast.

      The article we are commenting on is titled "This Is a Big Deal’: How College Towns Are Decimating the GOP". The GOP as we all know are the Republicans. The other major party is the Democrats, so it is natural that they will come into the discussion when you are talking American politics. You yourself said that this was because "No real wage growth, no real improvement in quality of life, no real prospects for achieving the same things that your core constituency got." I disagree with your assessment. I'll rephrase, how are the Republicans worse than the other major political party (the Democrats) on these issues? I would like to counter that they are not, and it is instead largely other wedge issues that drive younger voters to the Democrat party. Neither political party acts in the interests of the average American, but I am tired of people mindlessly parroting that the Democrats are somehow better on these issues while providing no evidence of it. The fact that you have repeatedly refused to answer what should be a simple question is telling.

        What other wedge issues would you say don't fall under 'improvement of quality of life'?
