  • More Republican's are voting for Joe Biden and in all the swing states Trump is behind 6 % points
    • Linda Joy
      What does that have to do with the cities that are burning? Are you saying Biden who has been a politician longer than most of us have been alive is somehow going to do what he hasn't been able to do in the past half century? I don't think so. If he hasn't gotten it done by now he certainly doesn't deserve another chance. What has he done to fix any of the problems he's been looking at over the past 50 years?

      The polls had Hillary easily defeating Trump the day before the election, so what's that tell you about polls?
  • Most of this foolishness going on IS in Democrat run cities. https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/06/24/americas-top-20-cities-for-crime-and-what-party-runs-them
    • Archie Bunker
      The last time Chicago had a Republican mayor was 1931. Portland - 1980. San Francisco - 1964. Milwaukee - 1908.
  • Of the 50 largest cities in the USA, 13 have Republican mayors. Of the ten largest cities, one has a Republican mayor. The more urban an area is, the more it leans democratic. So, of course the comparison is mostly true. Might as well say that the highest crime rates in the nation are all in cities that are densely populated.
    • Linda Joy
      So even you can't find an outstanding example of a democrat you can support?

      Of course not. I know you keep calling me a "lib" and a "democrat," but, believe it or not, I typically vote for republicans in local and state elections, and I support libertarian philosophy, which most would associate more with conservativism than liberalism. But, in any case, I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, which was one of the first major US cities to take to progressive political ideology, and the first major US city to revert back to a third-world standard of living as the infrastructure fell apart and the jobs all went away. You can't just raise taxes every time the city starts to fall behind on bills, because business that pay those taxes will simply go somewhere else. It doesn't take a doctorate in political science to understand that cause-effect relation. On the other side, though, any comparison of liberal politics with problems in big cities is a bit of a tautology, since big cities are almost always where the vast majority of liberals live.
  • I've lived in or near a handful of Democratic-run big cities....all disgusting in their lack of justice, their corruption of office, and their mendacious leaders.
