I’ve always suspected that the reason underwood is a democrat in house of cards is solely to deflect this very criticism.



Honestly I think it makes him more "relateable" by making him not "the enemy" for viewers


>Honestly I think it makes him more "relateable" by making him not "the enemy" for viewers

Does this mean you think all viewers are democrats (or even most) and that republicans are the enemy?


On the Netflix subscriber, likely to watch new shows demographic?

I believe betting on "most side with Democrats" is a safe bet


Why? Half the country votes Republican.


Read it again, slowly:

> On the Netflix subscriber, likely to watch new shows demographic

- How many people don't have internet?

- How many people won't/can't sign up for Netflix? (think also in Urban/Rural demographics)

- How many people have Netflix but are not interested in a new show?

I'm not saying no Republican watches House of Cards, I'm saying it is biased towards Democrats


or it could be because the character is based on bill clinton
