This is true of the left, including crime ridden and poverty stricken cities. How can this be? Why do they still get the votes? The truth is, they do not get the votes, those cities are totally controlled and elections in those cities are rigged and the closed system of criminals are so tight, there can be no justice in those areas legally. The crime continues because at that point, they even control the criminals through threats of reincarceration. Now they can use criminals to go after their political opponents just to release them on cashless bail. The more poverty, the more even good people will become subjugated to violations of the law thus appear before their political opponent criminals. Until they control the whole city or town and their opponents are impoverished to death or incarcerated for years if not life. So how they work?
