Yikes it seems to you dialogue is not an options!
How to win friends and influence people!

It's not our fault, directly or indirectly, that Detroit has all the socioeconomic allure of, say, Mogadishu. Your assertion is so faulted I scarcely know where to begin, apart from pointing out the obvious: Even discounting voter fraud, rats outnumber GOP by at least a five to one margin in Detroit.
Those numbers are insurmountable, and they are the root cause of Detroit's problems. If you want to feel guilty that a once thriving city has been circling the drain since the late 1960s, go right ahead. You are not going to make me feel any of that guilt.
How do you suggest we change that?
Well endless railing is no solution either, nor not taking responsibility for not doing nothing along the way! (people as a whole) Also this attitude is so myopic, one needs to have vision to look back and see the short comings as well as to look forward beyond the heap of garbage.
One can not take these things personal if they want to make change, just as much as one has to guard against from being disconnected
One needs to realized that on some level it is always the other party involved fault, meaning if another group is dissatisfied they will look elsewhere for relief (from pain be it mental or physical) sorry some will even listen to the Marxist, and some are just plain evil anyways (those are hopeless) but the truth is they can lead others to follow them.
Maybe I just don't understand your post at all.
Maybe you dont
Maybe through my ignorance how not having the ability of seeing what I see now as I reflect back.
Today the bigger picture is available for those who choose to see (it)how it unfolded...
The point I am trying to make now is that these words of Edmund Burke have been true all through history.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
We need to clean up those area of the republican party in Michigan where they bend over to accommodated the Marxist PC. (this goes for the nation as a whole).
Some among us have talent to motivate change (no pun) to those who might be struggling to understand what their roll is towards the opposite party, if not vote them out!
Somehow when doing political ads the most important part of it should be that those who are working hard for their family and who want to be good neighbor are defeating their efforts if they don't vote those who dont vote undermines their effort to protect their family and community.
We need to plant a wholesome political garden, sense we are a two party system and the Republican party looks like it still can be salvage.
Just like every where else in this state there are good folks in Detroit who desire a better quality of life and would rally around but they need good leadership to move them out of the comfort zone and remind them it really is a nightmare zone.
These people need to be shown that comfort zone is not a comfort zone and they need to boot out that pied piper.
I am sure there are good people in Detroit who want to run for office but they are bucking a mind set of the people who needs to be thawed out, unlocked!
How is that done?
A sincere change of attitude, a change of heart towards things or a situation please there is a lot of power in Love!
I don't mean selling out our principals but a better attitude helps to thaw out a lot of pain and enables hope!
It gives courage to those who are in despair.
IMHO
Guess what, Pollyanna: Most Detroiters will take their Bridge cards over our love, eight days a week.
Dialogue is always an option. You began this by stating how tired you are of, I don't know what exactly--our griping? Is that an invitation to dialogue?
No more rhetoric, okay? Offer up at least one--ONE!--solution that is actionable with regard to Detroit. One.
See? That's an invitation to dialogue.
