Democrats and the Deep South

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The main problem the Democrats have in the Deep South (at House level) is racial gerrymandering.

Yes, the Democrats do indeed still hold a decent number of seats in the Deep South.
But that wasn't what Nclib was talking about; gaining and holding are two different things.

I'd much rather win in the mountain west states and the southwest than the backwards-thinking Deep South.

The Democrats hold, what is it 14?, seats in LA, MS, AL, GA and SC. That's not bad, not bad at all. If there was no racial gerrymandering, they would probably hold a few more seats there now and would certainly have a good chance of gaining a few more this year.
