Yes. I don't doubt that. There two schools of thought on the causes why. I’m not sure which would be more accurate. Maybe both?

Bakersfield is the redheaded stepchild in California. The butt of many a joke. Personally, I didn’t think it was that bad. A bit hot, but what would you expect for a town in the middle of a desert?

I’ll bet every one of those top liberal cities are bleeding Red Ink and they’re draining their tax payers of their last dime.

This is in stark contrast to Detroit, which is impoverished, black and the most liberal.

The impoverished part is do to the fact that Detroit has been controlled by the democrats for over 40 years.

The residents call it [bad word]wood. It’s a word they can say but I can’t, being white.

Nice city with great weather, but filled with smug folks NOT counting the military. Visited about three times in my life, but not a fan of the west coast in general.

Yes, and Atlanta is conspicuously absent, a raging liberal “black mecca” and homosexual haven. Crime is so out of control, I saw it made the overall #2 in the country recently.

But I’m not sold that it’s a black and white issue as the author contends because blacks aren’t even any longer the largest minority in this country, hispanics are.

My parents were living in Seattle when I was born. What used to be a great city has been turned into a liberal bastion of idiocy over the last 40 years or so. It now has more dogs than it has children. What does that tell you?

Fine. But acknowledge the fact that SD City AND County both voted for the most left wing major party presidential nominee in history.

Hialeah, which is 89% Hispanic, is the fourth most conservative on the list, largely due to the large Cuban American population.

Most of the large cities on the list of most Dem are heavily black or metrosexual.

Generally, the larger the city and the greater the population density, the more liberal the city. Big cities are, in general, full of freeloading liberals living off the fruit of other peoples’ labor.

intellectual liberalism

That has to be one of the biggest oxymorons in American politics.

Perhaps the most Liberal cities should just be called what they really are...”Hell Holes”.

What are you talking about? Hollywood? The residents do not call LA Hollywood ... Hollywood is a part of Los Angeles.

I have lived in LA for 60 years. I have lived in Hollywood for about 40 years. There are Conservatives and Liberals in LA and Hollywood.

You’re asking me to so something I already did. What’s the point? I already told you about the county and you mentioned a one-time election. What else needs to be said?

This is a crock. It is not white vs. black or north vs. south. All it proves is that the larger the city the more likely it is liberal as those seeking handouts flood to the cities.

You’re wrong. The cities mentioned are not the LARGEST cities. It turns out that they are have very high percentage of black residents.

So they are small [as the study shows] yet with high black populations.

Where is NY, or LA or Atlanta? There are hundreds of cities over 100000 in population. They picked what they wanted to pick to try to prove there presumption. Those cities on the liberal side are some of the biggest.. Detroit, Chicago, Seattle...
