Does anyone on this forum actually care about Syria?

Correlation does not equa- fuck it. You're just shitposting at this point.

No, I'm not. Poverty in rural areas is directly tied to being removed from a nexus of economic activity. Economic activities occur in urban markets. Being removed from those markets reduces economic options. Living inside the radius of urban markets and still being poor is a result of policies in those cities.

Dying of dehydration in space is a result of being too far removed from the water on earth. Dying of dehydration in Flint is a result of the policies in Flint.

...which are directly tied to the American Democratic Party, and could have been prevented by the benign governance of Republicans?

Your neck has to hurt, twisting it up your ass like that.

Last I checked, Jackson Mississippi was the only major American city with a Republican mayor. Yeah, Democrats own the conditions in American cities. Been run by Democrats for decades and are the only places in the country where the crime rate is going up.

Correlation. Brilliant deduction. I can't find a flaw in your logic.

If we were talking about six days after the election, liberals claiming the Trump election was responsible for every hate crime in America, you'd be right to dismiss correlation outright. Decades of Democrat run cities all seeing the same results, different story.

So in your world, cities being festering shitpiles is caused directly by Democrats. No other factors in play, just party affiliation.

Are you arguing that Detroit was always a festering shit pile?

Are you arguing that all shithole cities on the planet are run by Democrats or Liberals?

No, just in America. It's nonsense to compare American cities to cities in Lithuania. Lithuanian cities aren't protected by Lithuania. They've got plenty of free scratch to dole out.

I see. So all other shithole cities have various problems, but the American ones are all caused by Democrats. Flawless.

This thread was getting good AF until Commie Cat Face showed up.

I don't blame Republicans - remember I don't do the partisan thing. That said, it's simply not true that inner cities exist solely because of Democrats. Concentrated poverty came into being over many years and for many reasons.

Sure you don't.

Exist? No. Perpetual dilapidated welfare state? Fuck yes.

You find it impossible to believe some people want the country to prosper more than their own club? At some point you outgrow the frat. A pox on both their houses.

I dont find it impossible, I want the same. I know the better America does the better off the GOP will be. It aint us talking bout never letting a crisis go to waste. I am not a zero sum socialist, my wealth means your poverty sort, I am a free market, rising tide lifts all boats fellow. So no, I dont outgrow being a happy warrior for free people and free markets.
