This is interesting. I would like to see a version where the bars aren’t stacked. It’s too hard to compare—I want to compare the distributions by party.
Nice. I would be very interested to see a chart that shows how many incumbents were replaced in each election, maybe with an indication of how many constituencies flipped parties. Something like a population chart might work well.
It seems to show how few states are truly conquered. Steering in one direction for too long usually leads to a bad outcome.
They’re referred to as the left and right, but I think it’s more like the gas and the brake. The left pushes social change and innovation, then the right gets voted in when people need a little time to digest and process the changes.
All gas, no brakes? You’ll crash your society. All brakes, no gas? You’ll never get anywhere and be left in the dust.
I think they should all be older! i.e. closer to death.
I’m a simple man. I think time should be the x axis
I think Chuck Grassley was elected during the Taft administration.
