Haha! Yes, all very droll. [EDIT: about the "punchline"]
One thing that makes me favour the Dems is that as a party, they better reflect the ethnic diversity of the US. If equality of opportunity is a central plank of social justice, the Dems are closer to reflecting that ideal in the actual make up of their party:

The GOP 89% white is not a particularly good look in this day and age, which is why the GOP worked hard to give a different impression at their recent conference.
