We know the county voting maps.

Cities are small islands of blue surrounded by an oceans of red.

Why? What is it about cities that make them favor democrats?

Race? Colleges indoctrinating kids? Just simple group think? Why can't cities be more red? What are the mechanisms controlling voters in these cities?

Collectivism vs Individualism. Urban areas tend to be more collectivist almost by necessity. Rural tends to be more individualistic by necessity.

Because collectivists favor the hive over rugged individualism.

Lots of poor people crammed in small areas who get bread and circuses.


You get poor people everywhere but ones who are in urban areas tend to be much more beholden to leftist politicians than ones in rural areas who are expected to be at least somewhat able to function.

Democrats sell themselves to a certain demographic near election time, but never follow through with the promises.
Large cities have large populations of those demographics.

As others have said, collectivism vs individualism.

But also, the left owns the media and the media focuses on denser populations.

Cities are just breeding grounds for dependent people. For every one business owner you have 20 depending on them.

Add in the fact that schools are absolute dogshit breeding grounds for leftist propaganda and there you go.

The poors tend to vote and/or lean left who are banking on additional subsidies to their lives.

The left has zero intention of actually helping said people.

No moral compass or religion to guide them. They rebel against law and order, justice or objective good because they dont believe in it

It's not that cities favor democrats. A larger percentage of the population favors democrats and the largest cities have a higher population.
