You're moving the goalposts from "Republicans typically do poorly in the presidential election, which is just untruel to "Republicans have a demographic problem", which is true, but not what we were discussing until Dylan decided to pivot to that. They've done poorly in the last 2, but they won the two before that, and in the past ten they have an even split with the Democrats.

Republicans do poorly in presidential elections though. It's true. They've won the popular vote in 1 of the last 6 elections and are about to make it 1 in the last 7. That's bad. Saz thinks brown people will all of a sudden switch from supporting dems by very large margins to voting Republican. That's stupid.
You can push the period of time back 40 years if you think that's relevant, but it's really not when you look at just how much the composition of the electorate has changed from, say, Nixon's election to the election of Clinton in 92 and even more so compared to 2012.
I pointed out that historical trends don't support Saz's dumb position and that's when you and pizza boy decided to go full retard. That's sad and i feel bad for you guys, though at least you seem to have a job and a future which is more than we can say for pizza boy ljl.
