Logically speaking, their garbage posts aren't believed by any but the irrational.

So, why start a thread posting like them since you're only going to get:
a) The irrational upon whom you'll have no effect
b) The vast majority of us that already know all the partisan attacks on other states\cities is mostly garbage. (and that it goes both ways which you should know better than most eh?)
c) People not getting that you're immitating another poster and thus think you're just like they are.

So, where is your "win" in doing this?
It made me laugh, if that counts.

In all fairness to the people living in North Dakota I too would be homicidal if I woke up every morning in Grand Forks.

North Dakota is one of a handful of states I've never been to and I don't care if I never see it. It's not on my bucket list.

The college-town type liberals who hold up signs because they haven't experienced it's failures isn't the problem. The problem is the arrogant type of liberalism that hides illegals, praises MS-13 and is a medieval disease-machine like LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore.

There are liberal cities like Park City, Boulder, Berkeley and Tempe that aren't the welfare check cities full of people who have children they can't take care of, MS-13 and third-world disease zones like LA, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Denver are.

There are liberal cities that I don't mind. Boulder, Park City, Berkeley, Lincoln, Tempe are all liberal cities I think are excellent places to live but they aren't the same liberalism that exists like LA, Denver, Baltimore and Philadelphia

Not many illegal aliens in Berkeley having one child after another and living a dozen to a house spreading disease and collecting welfare checks like in LA and other liberal cities.
Most major cities are run by Democrats,the same is true of the most safe major cities as well. the few that arent like Virginia Beach and San Diego are basically federal government run with the largest employers being the military industrial complex, healthcare(because of all the Vets) and the city government and its services.

To be fair, it is very pretty in parts. Teddy Roosevelt National Park was a surprisingly scenic part of a cross-country drive I took a number of years ago.

Go to the "other Alameda County" section, where there is just 1 murder for Berkeley.

According to Wikipedia, Berkeley's population in 2017 was an estimated 122,324.

That would put Berkeley's homicide rate at 0.82 per 100K people.

That same year, North Dakota had a murder rate of 1.3 murders per 100K people.

So if liberal cities are so bad, how can super-duper, ultra-liberal Berkeley possibly have a lower murder rate than conservative North Dakota?
The median house price is $1.25M in Berkeley, they have priced out criminals...congrats.

The 25 cities that have the highest murder rate in the usa are all Democrat run...congrats

A rich elite extremely educated suburb that also has a prestigious college has fewer murders than its big city neighbors. I am so shocked.

On an interesting note some of North Dakota's very few murders over the years are committed by people out of state including California.

So if you reduce North Dakota's murders by 1, it would have basically the same murder rate as Berkeley...if you cancel out the murders by outsiders it would have a lower murder rate than Berkeley. North Dakota is pretty impressive as a state.
