Would you mind elaborating on why you voted Democrat this time, after having just pointed out that for the last ~60 years a democratic mayor failed to live up to the virtues they espouse?
Not trying to be sarcastic. Generally curious if you considered republican but decided against it for some reason... Or if you just hardline vote one way?

- AnimalMuppet 8y agoValid question. I think the point was that habosa isn't some Republican demagogue trying to score points on the Democrats. That is, habosa is saying, "Don't dismiss my point as just a political harangue. I'm dis-satisfied with my own side here. Why are we doing this?" I would guess that the answer to your question is that someone can see a lot of problems with their own side, and still think that their side is better overall than the other side. Just a guess, though; I don't speak for habosa.
- Redoubts 8y agoIt is true, the situation does set the stage for a "Law & Order" Republican to make an entrance some day.
- archagon 8y agoIs there an implementation of Republican policy anywhere that has reduced wealth inequality?
- rubicon33 8y agoTrue. It's almost as if politicians in general suck, and are unable to foster an environment that promotes the wellbeing of their constituents.
