  1.  DucknCoverin  "Tell us the states with highest overall violent crime and murder" Violent crime isn't concentrated in STATES. It's concentrated in COUNTIES run by Democrats. Sorting it out by states is a way to gerrymander the argument.

  2.  @zackbobby5550  "the Democratic party is Centrist, not Left." The Republican party is where it has been for decades. Since it majority voted for all the relevant civil rights bills. The Democrats have moved left and this is an objective verifiable fact. The biggest thing, of course, is that a whole host of radical new issues have appeared out of the blue. Indoctrinating preadolescent children in dangerous sexual practices that will leave them more vulnerable to exploitation by sexual predators and a lucrative industry of quack elective drugs and procedures which will leave them impotent, frigid, and sterile; and dependent on continual, extra, and expensive medical care just to stay alive. Mainstreaming of censorship and political slander and violence. Mobilization of the "law enforcement" apparatus to suppress political dissent. Corporate and academic departments devoted to sequestration and punishment of political views. Mandatory Orwellian "struggle sessions" indoctrinating and enforcing the party line. Most of these things were not even being advocated quite recently, much less done. In the field of race relations, Democrats are utterly abandoning the ideal of the colorblind society in favor of "positive racism" and segregation: https://www.newsweek.com/black-students-only-housing-washington-university-1633265 https://housing.wwu.edu/black-affinity-housing https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/05/american-colleges-segregated-housing-graduation-ceremonies/ But if you want to quantify the drastic leftward shift of the Democrat party, the easiest thing to graph and track is the shift in registered party members' views on issues that have actually existed long enough to be tracked over time. I can remember when free speech was not a partizan issue. Neither was support for Israel. Dems used to be, if anything, more hawkish about immigration control than Republicans. As recently as Obama's first presidential run, the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman (back when we could all agree on what those terms meant) was a plank in the DEMOCRAT party platform. Republicans haven't moved much since the 1980s when the Reagan revolution reversed the simultaneous double-digit inflation and unemployment and "national malaise" (Carter's phrase). The Democrats' leftward movement on a number of the same issues over time is a verifiable and quantifiable fact, as show in the charts and figures in these articles: "Democrats and their water carriers in the press are like people on a boat that is drifting off to sea, but are convinced that it's the land that's moving, not them." https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/pew-research-center-study-shows-that-democrats-have-shifted-to-the-extreme-left/ https://theweek.com/democrats/1002266/democrats-have-moved-further-left-than-republicans-have-moved-right-statistical https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-the-democrats-have-shifted-left-over-the-last-30-years/ https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/597987-new-polling-confirms-democrats-left-leaning-policies-are-out-of-touch/
