This is all the Democratic party has to offer. Basically, a small percentage of population of new economy elites and government employees with the rest looking more and more like a 2nd world and soon to be 3rd world country.

I could post a multitude of Videos or Pictures of Run down, Poverty stricken rural areas in Red states and entitle the thread "How could anyone vote for the Republican
Party based on how many of their states have third world Conditions.


But really, what would be the point?

They don't have to worry about it, because the Democrats failed cities provide for good media commercials during election season not to vote for the Democratic party.

Hopefully, the Republican use all the news footage from the third-world conditions in so many Democratic cities and profile what life in a Democratic really is all about.

Tremendous amounts of illegals, refugees who are discouraged from assimilating by liberals, tremendous amounts of women who grew up in poverty having as many babies as they can so they can have an incredible mini-Kardashian lifestyle thanks to the taxpayers with single-family large section 8 homes that they don't take care of, EBT for steak and lobster, low-priced childcare paid by government while many pretend they are going to work and instead getting TANF manicures and salon services.

The Democrats are experts at manipulation, they promise all these wonderful things for free but yet they can't even take care of the basics because they are so busy allocating tremendous amounts of welfare encouraging poor women to have as many babies as they can, ignoring homelessness, ignoring rampant amounts of drug abuse, ignoring their diseased streets, ignoring the hypedermic needles on the ground in many liberal Democratic cities.

It is common that laege cities have large underclasses; always been that way. But big cities are also big economic engines with large classes of rich people, far moreso than rural areas (some of which also have a lot of spread-out poverty). Conservatives are always talking about how equality of outcomes isn't desireable, and cities are bastions of capitalism...so it's rather jarring to hear people like you express concern about poor people. Rather uncharacteristic.

Dude, it's 400 homeless IN A SMALL CONFINED AREA of Tulsa!!! The actual number of homeless in Tulsa is 5,854 according to this:

Quote:

City of Tulsa's homeless population up 7 percent from a decade ago, study finds

The larger story, Pratt said, is that over the past decade, the number of Tulsans experiencing homelessness increased by 7 percent — from 5,496 in 2007 to 5,854 in 2017.

Considering LA is TEN TIMES the population of Tulsa, it mean both cities have VERY SIMILAR % of homeless. In fact, the % of homeless in Tulsa is little bit higher than LA.
