Yes, I know these aren't US cities. They're cities in countries more liberal than the US, which tells me they're probably more liberal in some ways than the US's most liberal cities.

Yet, hardly "failed," "craphole" centers.

Liberalism isn't the problem.
Comparing the US to other countries ? LOL....SMH...

You have to be the MOST IL-iinformed poster I have ever read on this forum.

And WE are called the UN-educated!

TDS is TRULY a MENTAL disease.
Let's get back to the topic please. i do understand your desire to retort, which you did quite well.

Other countries that are FAR more LIBERAL than the US.

"Failed" liberal policy is what y'all are talking about here, yes?

Why aren't those very liberal cities "failed"?

Corp America was pushed out by Democrat supported Unions that drove wages too high for them to compete, and high taxes, and Dems made trade agreements with other countries tht allowed corp America to offshore millions of jobs.

The Dems facilitated Corp America to leave the American cities, and took kickbacks all along.

The Dems created a problem, then benefitted as the corps bailed out.

So, defend the failed Dem controlled cities....this attempt fell short, but thx for the effort.

Again, comparing the US to other countries is laughable. We can barely compare each other city to city...get real.

If these liberal/globalist politics worked, there wouldn't be any kind of race or police brutality issues, and if so they would be very minor. Yet here we are.
PRECISELY! Strong post ^^^

Dems...your turn...defend your failed cities.

Why is it laughable? Explain.

What makes those very liberal cities clean, safe, thriving metropolises, while, according to y'all, NYC, Chicago, Boston, and DC are "crapholes?"

That’s a war zone in a 1st world country.

If that doesn’t meet the criteria of a failed city, then it’s clear Democrats don’t give a damn about the people they were elected to govern.

“But Chicago is a great city.” Yeah if you’re not a black liberal who supports Democrats.

Seems obvious to me.

The question is why Americans (80% live in cities) reject Republicans when it comes to local issues?

Republicans lose the races to the mayoral seas, and then they sit back whine and complain. What explains the systematic losses?
Off topic! Defend the Dem controlled cities failure, or start yor own thread. Your deflection is an effort to hijack this thread. Stay on topic, or I'll report you.

Defend the failed Dem controlled cities. Why high crime, bad schools, unwed mothers, underfunded pensions, riots, looting, police brutality against minorities, racial unrest, bad race relations, filth.

Europes cities dont have these issues, and many of those are run by Liberals, Why American liberals failing so miserably?

Defend it.

Fort Worth Crime Rates

With 100 being the safest on the crime index, Fort Worth ranks as an 11. That makes Fort Worth safer than only 11% of the cities in the nation. The crime rate per 1,000 residents is 5.26 for violent crimes, and 33.17 for property crimes, making the crime rate 38.42 per 1,000 residents total.
.
the area has some of the highest violent crime rates in the country.
OFF TOPIC AGAIN! The topic is Dem controlled cities.

Start a new topic, but quit trying to hijack my thread.
