      I'd love a smart political scientist to explain to me the politics of places like Japan, where even when there are scandals and recessions people punish the LDP by just giving it a smaller majority, not letting the opposition win.

      In places like that, politics takes place inside the party, not between parties. Think of Texas or New York.

          Or how the "Solid Democratic South" worked for generations.

          That should be the ultimate goal of Democrats. A Senate and House filled with left wing dems and moderate Dems arguing over how much they should tax the rich, not whether they should do it at all.

          But NY elects GOP mayors sometimes! If you're talking about the legislature, yeah

          The GOP has controlled the NY State Senate since 2011.

          California might be the best example due to top-2 and a lot of former r's becoming moderate dems in recent years. Plus the strange ethnic/regional politics

          That's less true than it used to be, the LDP is completely reliant on the worlds best organised religious party to keep the opposition from destroying them.

          Not really. Japan is only a democracy on paper.

          That's essentially the result of an Democratic inside fight that Cuomo won.
