Just curious, what you do believe the prevailing political party in Houston is?  At something like a 95% clip. 

Not sure about Houston, but Harris County went 56% Dem, 43% Rep in the last Presidential election.

How about Dallas?

I’m not familiar, so I didn’t comment on it. I’d reckon it’s a bit more R than Harris, but still heavily leaning D. While the outskirts and suburbs are closer to 50/50 (like Ft Bend) with some strong R areas (like Montgomery for Harris).  
 

Whenever Hildalgo was voted in (can’t recall if ‘18 or ‘20, I believe ‘20) the Ds took a clean sweep of Houston. I heard on the radio the other day that the first and only R judge since that election, just took office recently(didn’t hear why).

Is that a pug in a Slimer costume?

A free association image based on AOC’’s penchant for costuming dogs, using the ankle biter of the day as inspiration.

Edited to explain that is how I imagine canine-WWS would look in costume.

Crime is going up in every city in the country. If it's the fault of progressive DAs, why is it also rising in cities with tough on crime prosecutors?

At the end of the day, California still locks up a greater percentage of their population than other non-authoritarian nation.

How about Dallas?  For that matter, how many "Conservative" big cities are there? 

Dallas is not a conservative big city. Maybe Fort Worth but it’s not really that big. I can’t think of any large cities  that people actually want to live in or that are centers of finance or industry that are majority conservative

[High Plains Drifter 10961]

 

1. Are there any "conservative" big cities?

2. How does crime in big cities compare with crime in smaller cities or the suburbs or the rural areas?

Mesa, AZ

OKC, OK

Virginia Beach, , VA

Colorado Springs, CO

Jacksonville, FL

 

Don’t know if these cities are all that big, but they are reputed to be the most conservative.

Whether a city is "conservative" or "liberal" in its' voting base is largely irrelevant in the analysis. Whether or not specific "progressive" criminal justice reforms have been instituted is the key. 

Many blue cities have classic, conservatives running the courts, DAs office, and law enforcement. 

Just because the mayor shows up at the Pride Parade and kneels at a BLM rally doesn't actually mean anything has changed.

Big cities vote blue because there are more people in big cities compared to small towns. The majority of people in general vote blue, as seen by the popular vote in the last 8 presidential elections. 

That doesn’t mean that is the reason why there is more crime in big cities. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, it doesn’t matter how many times Fox News repeats it. 

There is more crime, homelessness, and poverty in big cities because there are more resources in big cities. More shit to steal, more shit being donated, and more competition for said resources, which leaves some without much. This isn’t a new concept. If you look at a lush abundant waterhole in Africa, you’re going to find more water buffalos, more lions trying to eat those water buffalos, and more hyenas trying to get scraps from those kills. What you won’t find is some dumbass elephant trying to convince everyone that it’s the donkeys fault it’s all happening at the waterhole.

I think another reason they vote blue is because they're more diverse and people are more used to dealing on a daily basis with people who don't look like them.  They understand they don't always get their way and democracy is messy.

If by “dealing with” you mean picking up to-go orders or riding in the back seat of an Uber, then yeah I would agree the likes of Austin, SEA, DC, NYC, LA, SF are bastions of diversity and inclusivity.

Wat?

Wat?

Do you visit Tarrytown/Clarksville/Hyde Park very often? Who did these almost monolithically white communities generally vote for in 2020?

Compare that with the racial demographics of Lockhart/Luling ISDs and let me know how well Biden did in Caldwell County.

There’s plenty of reasons why urban area vote liberal/democrat…sanctimony about their highly evolved racial harmony is not one of them.

Higher education overwhelmingly being first and foremost. Racial sanctimony is a barely unfortunate byproduct that racist denialists insist must be sterilized into purity before they take the first step treating the gangrene of their own fetid shit.

The fuck does the presidential votes show me about local elections? It wasn’t what was being discussed. But keep on fucking that chicken. And keep on shifting blame on why large cities are sucking shit thru a straw. 
 

eta: his graph was shit anyhow. For one, the Woodlands is Harris county? No. Sugarland? No. Are we randomly cherry-picking suburbs of Houston while leaving out Katy and Baytown?

It's funny when conservatives insinuate something and then deny the insinuation. 

Can't really explolate anything meaningful from presidential votes as they pertain to local elections being as it goes counter to what I was suggesting and I think you're a moron unable to see what I'm doing in broad daylight.

For pity's sake, the chart shows Harris County on the top bar, the Houston/Sugar Land/Woodlands METRO AREA on the second bar, and Texas on the third bar.  Three different sets of data.  Katy is included in that metro area, as are Baytown, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands.  That metro area comprises nine counties.

It's information.  Accept it or don't.

Negged for shitty posting.

I don't visit the areas you described very often.  I don't anything about Lockhart/Luling.  So why don't YOU post that info.  This isn't a scavenger hunt for your confirmation bias.

Those school districts are 70% Hispanics. When those kids are old enough to vote (assuming they don’t all gtfo) they aren’t voting GQP. Birth rate is destiny. Tick tock motherfucker

Yep I think you nailed it. “Sure, we have a border crisis, runaway inflation, and are attempting to dictate your cultural heritage via insistence on term the latinx…but if you don’t vote Dem, then you ain’t brown”
