Quality of life is a major factor in where Americans choose to work, live and make major purchases including homes. These states are the nation's worst.
Tech people will almost always be progressives. This is the way it’ll probably always be.
USA only have two “real” parties. The republican party who is now seen as regressive and the Democrat party who are seen as progressive (they used to be the opposite back in the day)
To me, the word “freedom” is toxic and a non-starter. Most western societies are free.
Coming from a country with many parties, having only two options is undemocratic. Affiliating with only one is reductive, especially when the parties change course all the time.
So, to respond to your comment:
Both parties are a bit shit, as they don’t need to self-regulate because of their duopoly.
Democrats are more progressive than republicans, thus people with higher educations will gravitate this way.
No voting system is perfect, but FPTP is one of the worst, and imo is the main reason for the culture wars - which is virtue signaling fluff to keep the poor angry (doesn’t matter which side they’re angry with) by making them stop voting based on wealth redistribution, and instead on issues invented by politicians to keep the gravy train running.
