Yep, the left thinks it's everyone else's fault but those who have governed for half a century in a failing city.

Of course, the people of Baltimore are too dumb to elect anyone who isn't ultra-liberal. Even Anthony Brown won the city of Baltimore last year despite losing the state.

One of the weirdest things about you is that you think people voting in line with their interests and ideologies are dumb, while arbitrarily changing your vote against your own beliefs because of the candidates personalities is the paragon of virtue.

I think his point was that voters who are frustrated and unhappy should stop electing the same people over and over again, i.e. try something new for once.  Baltimore is a monolithic left-wing oligarchy, and it hasn't really served them well.

Exactly.

So they should instead vote for a party that only mentions urban centres as a scare story to whip up their base? People won't just vote against their interest for a party that explicitly dislikes them, never mind how long Democrats have been in charge.

And I do feel nervous that many areas are one-party states, but the modern GOP is not a party interested in cities. Perhaps that is why electoral reform will be helpful.
