(34,105 posts)Actually saying who you are disparaging would be very helpful and stop telling us to move.
You all in true blue states who have never lived in a very red state have little idea what it is like here. You all work so hard to keep your state blue, we work 3x that hard to keep our school board from dropping science for the bible and school boards are only one tiny part of the whole.
I have tons of respect for your states for keeping the country from falling into what we here in Kansas are facing. Keep up the good work but please remember that we rarely see or hear from national candidates, the national parties rarely offer us money or help, we can't find enough democrats to run who can afford to pay for it themselves. We are going to be like this for some time as there are few left who are willing or able to run, the party is a shambles.
My state is now fully run by Brownback and the Koch brothers. Don't expect much more than the worst possible outcomes here and please remember that we are here fighting with the only thing we have, our loud but unheard voices and our liberal hearts.
