21. A few reasons....

1. The media just doesn't do their job. I'm not talking about just Fox News. Every outlet needs to call an equal number if fouls on Republicans and Democrats. There was a time when you might could say both parties are bad but today the Republicans are more corrupt, they've presided over vastly more recessions in the last 40 years, they do more to give themselves the leg up to win elections, and more. I honestly hate most of the Democratic leadership, but as far as which party I prefer it's not close.

2. The Democrats are AWFUL at branding. They're seen as the party that only cares about how diverse the aristocracy is and not the working class party.

3. Dems just don't fight in politics well enough. There's no real killer instinct.
