re: What state have you visited that in your opinion was most liberal?

All my friends from Massachusetts are very conservative. Maybe they just escaped it.

Mass is a fairly socially conservative state outside of Boston and even within many parts of Boston.

It's just still a very heavily pro-union and pro-immigrant place, and for many people who have great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents that have been voting D since forever, it is anathema for them to even think about voting R. Still, Charlie Baker is very popular there, and Mitt could probably run and still win there.

It is not as purely liberal as NYC, the major California cities, Chicago, lots of the rest of the Eastern Seaboard, etc. Rhode Island actually shares a lot of similar characteristics. Raimondo is probably too conservative for a lot of D's at the national level.

ETA: Hawaii is probably the most liberal state end-to-end. Maryland and Vermont are pretty damn liberal as well.
