Democrats, whew, when it comes to running things, their ideology just does not work.
If it wasn't for the fact that Dems have gained possession of some of the nicest parts of the country, even more people would acknowledge that the Dems game-plan is horrible.
It takes a special hack to turn everything into a partisan blame game.
So, we are supposed to believe the murders take place because of welfare..... That might work with Alt-Right crowd a a Trump rally, but most people see through the BS
Just the same way feminists use the patriarchy as scapegoat for everything?
Yawn. Think I will dig out the old John Waters movies and watch Pink Flamingos. This thread makes me nostalgic for the good ole days in Mobtown. As someone who lived most of his life in Baltimore and now in Texas, these posters in conservative Texas cities have nothing to brag about. Yeah Baltimore has an insane murder rate but like the tee shirt says, “Baltimore, it’s more than just murder”. For someone who has never set foot in the city, you got no cred.
So you attack the op just simply by saying he has no credibility?
My point is that the OP makes this about Republican vs Democrat. A better question is this. Why is Bowie,Maryland, a predominantly Black suburb, have a markedly lower murder rate than Baltimore? Last I checked, Bowie has a murder rate of 1.7 per 100,000.

There is nowhere in that article that states that even one of them actually votes or is registered to vote.
We do know that people who are on the fringes of society are much more likely to vote democrat - the poor (before Trump hoodwinked the white poor which will go down in history as one of the biggest hat-tricks ever), the disabled, single mothers, minorities, etc.
In your intake to prison, you're asked a lot of questions like religious denomination, and most of them declare a religion although they haven't attended a religious service in their adult lives. That's what this article is referring to when they say they "register" as democrat. They fill out the survey on intake stating they identify as democrat. You have to go to the actual survey abstract to see this, though.
So let me ask this again. Is there anyone who thinks common criminals generally tend to make it to the polls?
Can you find an article that STATES they do?
I went to the study abstract and found this. The abstract tried to determine if states who are required to notify exfelons when they are again eligible to vote actually increased voter registration and participation of ex cons. "Our findings show little evidence of an increase in ex-felon registration or turnout after notification laws are implemented." So. Yeah. They didn't vote before notification was required, and notification didn't cause them to vote.
When you mentioned Seattle VS Baltimore you answered the question.
Blacks are the largest group in Bowie and are the dominant group in Bowie. Again, why isn't Bowie brimming with violent crime?
I ask because you say race is the reason. Baltimore has alot of problem but Bowie doesn't. Sounds like Black people are doing better in Bowie than in Baltimore.
It's highly unlikely that registered voting democrats are the ones causing the violence, despite what the right likes to think.
What a fallacy from the right !
I find that most people who bother to vote whether conservative or liberal aren't exactly engaged in criminal activity to begin with.
