Same here. Our last mayoral election was nonpartisan, so both candidates appeared as independents. This is a two college town.

No. I don't have anything to prove to you. You made a statement that has no factual basis. Repubicans can't govern. Look at what they're doing in DC, that's evidence. And everything they do affects all of America. The last 2 Republican presidents left the entire country in a mess, and you want to talk about Republican cities.

No. And I said Repubicans can't govern. You are no safer in a city with a Republican mayor than you are anywhere else. You idiots call a city with a Democratic mayor a democratic city when the city council might be majority Republican. What we do know is that under the last Republican president, crime rose nationally, and the last 2 times Republicans have been in control of DC, America was left in a bad way. So you just need to stop repeating the lies and attempts to blame democrats for everything wrong.

Unwarranted attacks on shitholes? How would those be unwarranted?‘Yphtach Lelkes, an associate professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, said that framing cities as dangerous does more than raise concerns about crime; it signals that these places are morally and culturally different, even alien from small-town America.
“It tells rural and suburban voters that cities aren’t just far away, they’re run by people who don’t share their values,” said Lelkes, who co-directs the Polarization Research Lab, which looks at affective polarization, social trust, and political violence
“That perception fuels anger, disgust, and fear ― emotions that are powerful political motivators,” he said. “These feelings can mobilize voters, boost support for tough-on-crime or authoritarian policies, and create a strong sense of political urgency.”
When Trump lambasts Los Angeles or Detroit, he’s not speaking to the people in those cities who loathe him or even directly to his rural base (though all the better if the base is revved up). It’s actually suburbanites he’s hoping to hook, said Kal Munis, an assistant professor of political science at Auburn University in Alabama.’

Unwarranted.
Valuables ripped off victims as NYC sees 8,000% spike in moped-involved robberies over 2 years
The NYPD released new images Friday of multiple suspects they’re searching for in two robbery sprees involving mopeds, days after officials revealed there’s been an extraordinary increase in such robberies across the city.
