Detroit and settle have the population of less then 1 Million people each. Seattle has an industry that feeds it, while Detroit does not.
The liberal city of NYC has the population of 8.5 million and has many industries, it the economic center for the surrounding ereas that feeds another 20 million people.
To live in Detroit you need money for food to be brought into the city, you need money for transportation and for energy, but money is not coming in to the city, because there is no industry.
I don't think that smart people blindly follow a political party. People who are hard core dems or reps are not to bright. We are a 2 party system, so we can not do without 1 party. We really need more parties.
For example, to put Obama on a leash we elected a republican congress. Hard core republicans are chearing while the truth is had there been a 3rd party we would not have a republican majority in Congress.

Precisely. Seattle is a productive city with productive industries. Community and local business in harmony, the way an economy ideally operates. They even have powerful unions, which conservatives consider blasphemy, and an affront to capitalism.
Detroit is a city in a RTW state, whose industry is a shadow of it's former glory. Even as unions were dying, jobs still disappeared. If unions were so bad, industry would be booming here. I can attest, it most certainly is not.
This is not an issue of politics though. More so, economics, and the tragic consequences of being a one trick pony. The area is still largely dependent on the automotive sector.
Oh good, another "liberals bad" via cherry picked data again from this OP.....shocking. Maybe Detroit shouldn't have invested all their eggs into one industry, Seattle learned that lesson in the 70s.

Its the OP seeing the Seattle question, which was picked because of the $15/hr minimum wage increase, and decided to create a cherry picked counterpost. Its advanced trolling.
