Which Issue Each Party Debates, Or IgnoresThis discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Goblinmonger (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum). Democrats and Republicans sometimes seem to be living in two different Americas. We analyzed the past seven debates on each side to show which topics are most discussed within each party.

2. Color (red to blue) is an indicator of whether Dem and/or Rep discussed issue . . .
Size appears to be some measure of quantity -- of comments, I imagine.
Which matters, too, when you consider those issues that the Parties share discussion of. I was really taken by what was not discussed on the Republican side, like the entire notion of governance. |
