It's nice to hear Leftists finally admit that the policies they support have done tremendous damage to America's cities.

Here's Bill Maher and former advisor to Bill Clinton Rahm Emanuel talking about Chicago, including why Mayor Brandon Johnson has a single-digit approval rating:

Bill Maher asks Rahm Emanuel why Chicago's mayor has such a low approval rating, and the panel agrees that Democrat policies have ruined large American cities:
Bill Maher: "I read that the current mayor of Chicago has an approval rating of 6.6%. What's going on in Chicago?"

The entire post reads:

Bill Maher: 'I read that the current mayor of Chicago has an approval rating of 6.6%. What's going on in Chicago?'
Rahm Emanuel: 'We've gone through 5 years where people became way too permissive as a culture. Which is why everything is locked up at CVS and Walgreens, that's a disaster.
I don't want to hear another word about the locker room, I don't want to hear another word about the bathroom. You better start focusing on the classroom.
In 7th grade if I had known I could have said 'they' and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it.'
Fareed Zakaria: 'This is a huge Democrat party problem. Democrat cities are terribly run. Cost of housing is crazy.
The budget of New York state is twice that of Florida. Lots of taxes, lots of regulation, but nothing gets done. Democrats have to own this: The answer to everything is not more taxes, more regulations. People are fed up with it, and feel that it isn't working.'
'Democrats have to own this'
Those who propagated Democrat lies on TV also have to own this. Stop with your revisionist history acting like you weren't part of it: People are fed up with it, and feel that it isn't working.
