Local and state seats are the bench of the national parties. But the Ds used to have a winning formula for elections Have organized crime crack down on street crime and make the voters and taxpayers feel safe. But most of the sources of revenue for a disciplined organized criminal gang to keep the street crime manageable has dried up.
Gambling is legal
Prostitution has moved online.
loansharking is now legal. Little Nicky Scarfo went to jail for charging lower rates than what are now charged by legal firms that advertise on TV
So drugs have exploded in usage and the local and state Ds would have to dismantle their cash machines, their GOTV teams and the rest in order to fight street crime. Instead they offer sanctuary to felons that give them more street crime. So, how many more city council and state legislature seats can they lose before they cease to be a national party?
