This is one of the dumbest zombie talking points. Literally all major cities have Democratic mayors, because urban dwellers are Democrats these days. That means the nicest big cities have Dem mayors, and the troubled ones (like mine) do too.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1155124300904636422 …

I'm not surprised that you, at least, are unable to name a major American city that had a Republican mayor in the 1990s.

Sure, New York and LA did then. Was a different time. But out of the top 50 major cities in the US right now, I’m willing to guess that at least 45 have Dem mayors. Including ones like Dallas and Houston and Charlotte and other cities you probably think are nice.

My point, which would be obvious to anyone who read the thread, is that the ones that have had one-party rule for decades are in the worst shape precisely because voters are too wedded to tribal loyalties to permit political competition.
