        @HeerJeet seems like he's avoiding the root cause of his "murder" in the south.

        @HeerJeet @KevinMKruse Ehh...there are significant pockets of progressivism here. Not wildly wrong to call Southern Dems centrist tho.

        @HeerJeet It's borderline racist, summarily dismissing the tens of thousands of African-American Democrats in the south.
