Now is it just me that sees a very major commonality between all these American cities, North, South East and East, and the people who run these Top Ten Cities (250,000 or more population) with the Highest Poverty Rate?

And is it just me that sees a major commonality between all these American States, and the people who run these Top Ten States with the Highest Poverty Rate?

I keep hearing about how the 'Liberal Progressive Democrats' are so great at governing and running things, and making 'poor people' richer, while taxing the wealthy.

But the top 10 cities and states who have been run by 'Liberals - Progressives - Democrats' from around 80% to a full 100% of the time all happen to be the ones with the HIGHEST POVERTY RATES.

Now exactly why is it the 'Liberal Progressive Democrats' who seem to be so high on 'social justice' on 'equality' on 'taking from and taxing the rich to give to the poor' all happen to be running these same poorest cities and states most if not 100% the time?

The answer? Progressive Liberal Democrats are using the down trodden and the poor (because they are unable to defend themselves) to gain and maintain power. If you look at the current administration through this 'set of glasses', it all becomes very clear.
