Apparently you’ve never been to Baltimore. There is no dark religious past haunting that city, just corrupt politicians.

Apparently you’ve never been to Baltimore. There is no dark religious past haunting that city, just corrupt politicians.
Is it your claim that one medium sized city somehow has a bigger problem than the nation it exists within?
Baltimore has 10,000,000 people. The United States is larger by a factor of thirty three.
I thought for a second I was crazy not knowing that Baltimore was the largest city in the US
Baltimore has a population of 600k not 10m, you're off by a factor of 13
Yeah no idea where I got that Number. Maryland isn’t even 10m people. But that makes Baltimore being Americas biggest problem even more unbelievable.
I’d live with corruption if they were at least competent at delivering essential services.
I expect most only complain about corruption because the basics aren’t being delivered, not out of a sense of civic responsibility.

This has so many holes in it you’re making Swiss cheese look rational.

I expect you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
Why don't you petition the government for a redress of grievances and oust them? It's an unlimited right guaranteed by the First Amendment that can remove tyrants without causing harm.
So, according to the first amendment I can just taze the supreme court, and roll back citizens united, and reinstate roe v wade?
That's as batshit crazy as recent assertions that nothing the courts rule can be sexist; after all, women would just run for seats on the supreme court if they cared; they're a majority of the population, after all.
Since the nonsense in the last paragraph actually came from a recent supreme court majority opinion, I'm wondering if you can point to a supreme court ruling backing up your statement.
I didn't say that.
According to the First Amendment, you have a conceptually unlimited right to write petitions (complaints). Practically, it is limited by the absence of violence during assembly.
There's surprisingly few rulings on the right to petition.
