The national mid-terms are quite different than the politics in these cities. Besides homicide rates are highest in red states but they keep electing republicans.
I've noticed that hardly anyone ever asks why people in the major cities vote Democrat. I've posed this question to get people to think. Vote-shaming doesn't work. Finding a way to get people to WANT TO vote Republican needs to be done.

As for my vote, this is how I see it. My vote, my business.

Everyone with a brain knows it but not something that can openly be expressed.

Because very often, it's discussed with arrogance and condescension.

If you are saying that demographics are the factor, then why are we even talking about political parties? If it's political parties, then you'd also have to say "there's nothing we can do".

So, it is a consequence of public ignorance at this point in history. It’s not like there is anything new going on here. Same movie, same ending. We have decades of proof, but facts don’t matter to the left … only feelings matter..

1 of our left friends always likes to put out stuff based on the state, when most of us know it is the cities and surrounding suburbs.

You are entitled to YOUR opinion!

It is obvious you DON'T like me and what I have to say, so follow your OWN advise and "deal with it"!

Miami is the only Republican city out of the top 10. An important question to ask is WHY is this?
dem run cities give out free stuff and DON'T go after criminals, which attracts MORE to those cities.

Juts out of curiosity, I wonder of those that live there, how many ARE criminals.
