they love to pretend this is not the demographic that puts them over the top, when reality is that large poor urban areas are what make blue states blue
if such does not exist in any given state, there's a very high probability that state is red
with very few exceptions

Are you trying to say the red states don't have poor urban areas? Or have high gun violence and gang activity. There are many blue states who have low violence.

gun violence? c'mon man, it's all about the urban areas
of course red states have poor areas, what they don't have are extremely large cities that carry the entire state
NYC carries NY
Philadelphia PA
Chicago IL
LA & SF & Oak CA
have you ever seen a political map?
It's not just the "poor urban areas" that vote blue in cities like Chicago, San Francisco and New York.
places like the Bronx vote 350,000 to 30,000, I'm absolutely certain the Southside of Chicago has similar numbers (I can't speak for any SF neighborhood, it would be pure speculation)
margins that can't be overcome with a 54-46 suburban vote
I'm not arguing that cities like NYC, Chicago and SF don't vote blue in large margins. I'm saying it's not just the poor that make cities like NYC blue. It's everyone. Look back at your first post that I quoted above, "they love to pretend this is not the demographic that puts them over the top, when reality is that large poor urban areas are what make blue states blue". De Blasio won 62% of the 100k+ vote in 2013. Not all rich people live in the burbs and all rich people don't vote red.
exit polling income demographics, tells the whole story
in 2012, Romney won every single income demographic over 50k, not matter how you slice the pie. > 50k or 50k to 100k or 50k to 75k and on and on, everyone without one exception (nationwide)
the results are similar every two years, with 2008 being the one notable exception
90% of all my demographic based arguments are based on exit polling, the only real source we have. Then when you compare exit poll numbers to where people of poverty live to actual voting results, it's easy to see they're pretty accurate
