Lets Talk About A Democratic City

[IM2]

You do realize that by default your leftists MUST champion ALL things proven to be bad for society….right?

What I realize is that you bigots don't get to determine what's good for society.

San Diego has issues, but it's not nearly as bad as Los Angeles and the Bay Area and San Diego also has a Democratic mayor. California hasn't had a Republican governor in over a decade. The Republicans haven't controlled either chamber of the state legislature since the turn of the century.

Look, we saw what happened when Republicans controlled congress and DC. They left us with a depession in 2008. The we see what Republican leadership did in 2020. 500,000 dead, 25 milion infected with another 500,000 to die later. I have seen what Republican policy did to our state. You guys don't get to just hang on to your anti Califonia bias in this argument. Because Arnold left the state fucked up. Democratic policies are not making banks deny loans to entrepreneurs in black communities. So I presented a common problem for most democrtic cities in this country. Republican state governments and Repubican policies of those governmets.

"Republicans control 27 State Houses, while Democrats have control of 21. In Alaska, power is shared via a bipartisan coalition. Nebraska has a unicameral (single body) legislature...

There are currently 23 Republican and 17 Democratic trifectas, where a single party holds the governorship and controls both chambers of the state legislature."

There are currently 23 Republican (including Nebraska) and 17 Democratic trifectas. For details on the most recent shifts, see the table below the map.

In eight of the 10 states where there is no trifecta, it is because the governor is of a different party than the one with full control of the legislature. Only Alaska and Pennsylvania are different. In Pennsylvania, each party controls one chamber.1 In Alaska, both legislative bodies are governed by a bipartisan coalition.

A trifecta is where one party controls the governorship and both branches of the state legislature

So if Atlanta has a problem, is it really because of the "Democrat mayor"? And look at Florida. You really want to blame Democrts for the mess DeSantis made? Or Texas, I guess it's te democrat matyors of those cities that are the probem, not that idiot Republican governor, the criminal Repubican AG and the Republican legdature.

We were much safer in Chicago when only the criminals had guns.

Al Capone?

Look, we saw what happened when Republicans controlled congress and DC. They left us with a depression in 2008.

You know that the Dems won control of the House and Senate in the 2006 elections, right?

You know that the Dems won control of the House and Senate in the 2006 elections, right?

They also had it the last two years of Trump's term.
IQ2 is an idiot.

So you are too stupid to see that the citizens of Memphis want something dne about the crack dealers wth guns?

You white folks can go ahead and keep your armed meth labs open if you want, but we want to stop the madness.

Nope I see no issue with them wanting something done, you are just so stupid as to think criminals will give them up!

Just the House under Trump.

Republicans in this forum never take rsponsibility for anything. The love to blame democrats for everything wrong as if the draconian Republican policies they present are the panacea. Here we see one example of what Republicans do to "Democrtic" cities if they try proposing things that will actually help their citizens.

Tennessee Republicans tell Memphis to abandon gun reform or risk funding cuts​

Republican leaders in the Tennessee House and Senate warned Memphis officials on Monday that if the city puts gun reform on the ballot this November, the state will withhold the city’s sales tax revenue.

In a joint statement, House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, and Senate Speaker Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, said that the legislature “will not tolerate any attempts to go rogue and perform political sideshows.”

“If they do not want to participate within the state and state laws, then they do not need to participate in the state’s successes,” the statement said.

It’s not the first time the state has opposed local initiatives in Memphis. Earlier this year, the state legislature passed a law reversing police reform that the city council had instituted after the death of Tyre Nichols.

Memphis has a gun crime probem and Republicans here run their mouths about it. Yet when they propose a solution to the problem Republicans use underhanded tactics to stop what they want to do. This goes on in other states as well.

Every big city is a shithole city.

How come Memphis has a gun problem yet the rest of the state does not? Does Nashville? Do all of the small towns in Tennessee individually and collectively have a gun problem?

Memphis has a behavioral problem; one that is prone to violence and no respect for fellow humans; quick to kill.

Go ahead and restrict all of Tennessee when it comes to guns and watch what happens. Memphis will still have that “gun” problem.

Memphis is 62 percent black but let's blame whitey. Lol. What a racist op stooge. You should be very ashamed of yourself.

I can guarantee that he doesn't. But, it wouldn't matter if he did, it's still the fault of 'THE REPUBLICANS.' Just like it was the REPUBLICAN'S fault that all those Democrat governors shut down their states during Covid.
