Jesus Christ, is this real?
Big cities have problems, but they are still far better off than small town rural America. There isn't some specific failure happening in large cities, you're seeing the broad inevitable enshittification of Capitalism as a system.
Democrats must be some serious masochists, they would actually rather take the blame thenselves than admit capitalism is wrong.
DNC: we tried bootlicking billionaires and it didn't work, what if we double down on bootlicking billionaires even harder.
It's also reported here. This fits with the reports of complaining that Democratic Congresspeople have been doing about the progressive wing of the party wanting them to fight back against DOGE. They and party leadership may well be aiming to not just talk like it, but fully become the new Republican party, in hopes of having a stampede of "moderate" Republicans who aren't happy with Trump come their way.
Also, big donors are angry at them, so I guess they're trying to win those donors back.
It's always about the dollars, not about the votes
