That’s pretty new, though, and there’s a still a lootttt more red/purple than you’d think. (Historically was working class white, has been shifting more diverse/black and getting more blue with that shift. The wealthier areas of DelCo are also not as sure of a lock for Dems as they are in other surrounding counties, but have also been trending progressive)

I’d call it purple-but-moving-blue. Should be like MontCo pretty soon (solidly blue with pockets of red).

It really is. I also feel that way a little about some of the bucks county area along the delaware, like bristol and croydon (my apologies to bristol and croydon for saying that)

I was born in Bristol and lived in Croydon until I was 5 and I approve this statement.

I've been in a neighborhood in Arkansas that reminded me of Croydon. And I've been in a neighborhood in Alabama that reminded me of South Jersey

Stop the Delco hate. There are some bad apples and the rest are the salt of the Earth, man.
