Time ago, as I was bored and had nothing to spend time, I decided to calculate how progressive were american cities.
Much more than I expected in fact, almost all american cities over half million inhabitants are strongly democratic, and the single ones in which republicans won, were mostly won by a narrow margin, and most times in small cities.
I just calculated the votes by county provided by wikipedia, in all the counties inside these metropolitan areas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tistical_areas
(By the way, I also discovered how weird american urbanism is, and that these "cities" can´t be called as so, because the population density in a such big space is so low, that can´t be consideared a proper city, rather something like an "urban aglomeration" or so. In what a city properly is, the gap between republicans and democrats is even more astonishing)
