[Kaine for Senate '18]

It is indeed a low blow.  I am so phucking sick of Republicans comparing modern Democrats to the Jim Crow racists.  Strom Thurmond was the last Jim Crow in the Senate, and he was Republican!

especially since those Jim Crow Democrats have been voting straight ticket Republican since Reagan, and probably since long before that...

Ignorance

You do realize that old school Democrats in Alabama, Mississippi, etc. are still insanely favored to win state and local offices in these states, right?

True, but tell me why no Democrat has come close to winning the South since Jimmy Carter in '76?  And what about the House and Senate?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

those Democrats have nothing to do with the national party

Oh, of course not.

aren't we talking about the Deep South?  a pro-choice West Virginian doesn't exactly fit the Dixiecrat mold.

Apparently Pro Choice individuals can't be racist...

I think his point was more that pro-choice individuals cannot be Dixiecrats.

Well, that's good but this thread wasn't about Dixiecrats. Jim Crow wasn't limited to the Deep South.

True, but we've been talking about the Deep South.
