They take after their party's leader

The facts are crystal clear, and they are stunning. For decade upon decade, the Democratic Party has fed mountains of rhetoric to its many reliable voting blocs in scores of U.S. cities, assuring them of its deep and abiding concern for the lives of ordinary Americans.
Yet it has delivered absolutely nothing in terms of measurable improvements to those lives. Instead, the Party has gradually transformed itself into a political wrecking ball whose only tangible achievement in urban America has been to perpetuate obscene levels of poverty, crime, and human misery. It is a shocking record of wretched failure that can be neither ignored nor wished away.
Why on earth would anyone believe that entrusting Democrats with the reins of governmental power on a national level, as opposed to a city level, would lead to a better result?
It is time for serious-minded individuals who may have long supported the Democratic Party for reasons they deemed worthy and honorable, to finally recognize that their party has failed and betrayed them so consistently and so monstrously, that they now have a moral imperative to walk away from it.

I would say 99.9%.
It’s apparently what the urbanites want. Else they wouldn’t vote for the RATs.
Why succeed when you can always blame others for your failures? You’d never need to feel guilty about anything, which is the next best thing to prosperity, for Democrats, at least.
I heard somebody on TV say that Oklahoma City has a higher crime rate than Portland.
So don’t be surprised to hear liberals say, look at all the crime in the Republican city of Oklahoma City, as if that negates all the violence and gang shootings and riots in Democratic run cities.
So how do we clone Rudy Giuliani? Where are the Republican mayoral, city council, state legislator and gubernatorial candidates with better ideas, greater competence, and organizational strength ready to take over?
There is systemic racism, all right. And it is embedded in the same corrupt kleptocracies that ruled in the 19th and 20th centuries. It may take well into the 22nd century to fix it, if then.
You’re right about that. None of this stuff happened overnight.
The DNC slow-walked all this stuff into prime time news and incessant media ‘alerts’ for decades. They made a concerted and wholly conscious effort to produce tinder box.
It only took their usual reckless, inflammatory rhetoric and (I’m pretty sure) some irresponsibly criminal abuse of social media to get it all going. No one ought to be surprised.
People would blame democrats for their incompetence. But down deep it’s average IQ of people living those cities that caused all of these ruins
If you force Republican mayors those cities I doubt it will change
Quality of people IS quality of society ( or life)
They take after their party's leader
Indeed the dangerous part is he was elected twice and the same people may end up pro front man Biden.
If he wins (rigged) they will not be any more free elections the Marxists will make sure of it.
Cities failed when the greedy globalists( Bush's et al ) decided to offshore production to the the third world to increase profit, reduce quality, increase kick backs and bribes. The Democrat mayors and Governors giving away the treasury are the secondary infection. What did we expect to happen after "taking away the rice bowl"?
“Almost”?
Ok, what city of a decent size, say over 250k inhabitants is run by conservatives and is struggling with crime, poverty, homeless, lack of jobs, exiting industry?
We need to bring back industry. Simple as that. The typical GOP answer of more economic zones, small business front employing unskilled labor and nail salons are not really helping the inner city.
The Wrecking Ball is the COMMUNIST HAMMER. It is what they do.
And yet, the majority of city voters will continue to vote for leftist Democrats, for all political offices.
True-but the inner city consistently votes themselves into the worst possible situations.
They repeatedly elect and re elect people who only know how to work the system for their own aggrandizement. There are never any immediate, material and permanent changes that upgrade the inner city or it’s residents.
In the end-it’s always a failed social experiment that taxpayers get to pay for …. and who also get the blame when it doesn’t work
Just during Obama’s reign-—Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Green.
They hadn’t yet got the formula right for the first of the martyrs which was Travon Martin but they were on their way. They were looking for a white cop villain but George Zimmerman was neither white or a cop. So they kept calling him white hoping they could magically turn him into a white man. When that didn’t work they called him a white Hispanic.
Then came Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. At last they found a white cop. “Hands up. Don’t shoot.” But it wasn’t true. Some looting and fires. Some protesters came all the way from Oakland, California.
Finally Freddie Gray that nobody could figure out how he died in that police car. Finally they stuck oil. There was a riot and the mayor said “Give they room to destroy.” And destroy they did.
The Clinton were already Marxists. They introduced Alyinsky methods. Then eight years later Obama doubled the Marxist agenda.
I know of no major GOP cities.
