For years, Democrats have proclaimed themselves the “party of diversity.” They constantly preach that they’re the ones in touch with women and minorities, that their platform better advances the marginalized, and that their politicians reflect actual variety.
When it comes to the makeup of Congress, Democrats are clearly winning in the superficial department. They have more females, people of color, and religious affiliations among their party members than Republicans. This is just a fact. As we’ve seen time and again, this diversity is used to make pitches on the campaign trail: “Democrats care about and include everyone. Republicans? They don’t.” But so often, those who tout tolerance are the last ones to practice it. And when it comes to actual intellectual diversity, the Left has a very difficult time showing acceptance.
