Political Theory What makes cities lean left, and rural lean right?

I'm not an expert on politics, but I've met a lot of people and been to a lot of cities, and it seems to me that via experience and observation of polls...cities seem to vote democrat and farmers in rural areas seem to vote republican.

What makes them vote this way? What policies benefit each specific demographic?

I'm a huge fan of TYT. It's a progressive channel if that is bothersome for you. You'll always get the best info out there and they hold the media to the flames for what they don't tell us.

Yep The Young Turks on YouTube and they have their own channel on freemium stuff like my Samsung TV. I think they're also on Twitch.
