In what ways do liberal cities work better only for the rich? Can you be more specific? Why do liberal cities work better for the rich than do conservative cities!

And Trump could easily take advantage of the apparent benefits of more conservative cities and move his operations to one, no?

If you say so. You speak for the leftists, not me.

These places which you despise generate 85% of US economic output.

I don't think he spends much time there anymore, but that's where some of his company's business is located.
Yes,bim talking about NYC. WHY does Trump maintain his business there if it's such a hellhole? Why doesn't he move his operations to conservative city?

And why do you choose to live in a liberal city? Why not, say, Oklahoma City?

Really the following are the top 10 states & DC for poverty levels 8 are Republican lead 9 if you consider the current administration is ultimately in charge of Washington DC as the President believes he does. Only 2 are Democratic Governors. So wheres all that great leadership that gets boasted about? And 3 of the next 5 are GOP lead also...

Mississippi 20.07%
New Mexico 19.61%
Louisiana 18.84%
Kentucky 17.39%
West Virginia17.25%
Arkansas 17.06%
Alabama 17.05%
District of Columbia 16%
Tennessee 15.73%

Yeah that's convenient not to believe that folks don't trave city borders in those areas.

Convenient and naive.

Name a Republican large city you think is being managed well.
This is what I'd like to know, as well. Most large cities liberal by their very nature. Don't understand how we'd survive without them any longer or better than we would without agriculture in more conservative areas.

But, as usual in CD, binary, myopic thinking rules.

They also have the greatest amount of racial segregation, which disadvantages Blacks and Hispanics

Just the short list. It would be far easier to show a successful liberal city, as the list would be very short.

Again, because you fail to understand the distinction... The highest poverty rate is in the inner-cities, not in rural areas. The poor disproportionately live in Dem-governed cities. Why haven't the Dems fixed that?

To answer the OP, they ignore their failure outright or blame it on the bad orange man.

Their voters are dumb enough to always keep buying their BS so they stay in power continuing to keep doing the same failed nonsense.

Essentially people deserve what they vote for.
