Again, it depends on how you define “better.” I don’t happen to agree that “more aggressive” = “better.”
I will re-assert that there is a fundamental difference in what drives most Republican politicians vs. most Democrats. Based on most recent evidence, most (R) politicians are perfectly happy to help the whole country burn, as long as they can escape the catastrophe with one of their billionaire benefactors. While there are (D) politicians who do it for the money and favors, it’s also clear that the majority are in it to serve their constituencies rather than line their own pockets.
Edited to add:
Simple: Voter suppression. It’s pretty well documented in North Carolina. Consider it “economic and racial” Gerrymandering.
