All major cities are blue cities. The most dangerous cities are in red states because red state governments dont let blue cities run their cities without interference and beat them up to score political points. They want their cities to remain dangerous because harping on the cities for being dangerous is 85% of their political appeal to rural hicks
St Louis voted to legalize weed, for a $15/hr minimum wage and plenty of other things that would have drastically improved life for residents and reduced crime over a decade ago now. The state government took it away every time. More recently, the state government took control of the police department away from the city. All of this shit makes the city worse off, even though it has been steadily improving for the last decade in spite of the fuckery
Home rule should be a federal policy for all cities over a certain size
Vote for sick leave passes, state government shoots it down.
Vote for abortion rights passes, same deal.
We have politicians openly going against the will of the people as certified by majority vote and I’m so damn frustrated I don’t know what more I can do. I normally like to start with sensible options but we can’t even get what we want by voting for it!
