You’d think these statistics would be of utmost importance to American voters, no?

They’re striking, but not all that surprising to anyone who’s been paying attention.

How fascinating. Two of the biggest most critical statistics concerning present day America and not one response here - total crickets - why? Not even American posters have anything to say about it.. why? Is it because no American voter here actually cares about any real issues and only wants to argue about divisive politics? I’m thinking that may have something to do with it - which is rather sad for your country’s sake.

People aren't interested in statistics. They're interested in sound bites and drama.

Statistics don’t often tell “the whole story.”

People sue each other for many reasons. Perhaps if you really want to stretch things, you can say that Republican administrations create conditions which encourage lawsuits.

It IS news, vermontsavant -- it's just not newsworthy news to you.

And if you don't like the way this website is being used or run, why don't you volunteer your services as Moderator?

There was a link to a news article but from the OP's actions on other threads I sense it will turn into PPR material quickly,it just seems like it's going to be like the other threads,but whatever I am not going to argue,that's pointless.

Are you suggesting that the numbers and facts presented in the article are fabrications?

There’s a reason why the phrase, “The numbers never lie,” exists.

Based on the numbers, I’d say it does in fact appear that the republicans are evil and the democrats are good. Feel free to counter that statement with any legitimate facts or figures.

As far as the first half of your first sentence is concerned... it certainly seems that way. :P :P

Funny thing is there really aren't any Trump supporters here that I know of, with the exception of Darmok and maybe someone else I'm forgetting. One doesn't have to be a trump supporter to argue with liberalism and the kooky stuff it cooks up. I believe that was going on before 2016.

What kind of kooky stuff? Medical care and a living wage for everyone?
Maybe not Trump supporters, but definitely Trump defenders.

Except that the stats in this thread prove that one party gets caught breaking laws an awful lot more frequently and they burn through way more taxpayer money (while trying not to provide social services) soooo it appears one party is in fact much more corrupt, by these measures, than the other..
