Somewhat of a spinoff from the Starbucks MAGA hat incident in California ... in your opinion, what are the most fundamentally liberal cities in the South? They don't necessarily have to be a "major city" or the state's capital, any city shall suffice.

Also, for this question, ignore strictly demographics that make the city predominately blue.

Asheville? New Orleans seems to have a major liberal conglomerate. Any artistic city will have as such. I know Jackson, demographically, is very democratic (and not really the point of my post), but the Fondren neighborhood appears to attract true bleeding hearts.

ETA: Austin, TX

Austin has to be up there. I'd say New Orleans too.

I wouldn't consider Austin to be in the South.

Any city in the south is fairly tolerant of both sides.

...something other areas like to forget

I see a lot of people are listing Jackson/Memphis and places like that

I see a big difference between majority Black Democrat and Liberal

I don’t see Jackson as very liberal at all

Nashville is trending that way

Fondren is definitely your artsy fartsy bleeding heart neighborhood. But what's it got outside a handful of expensive restaurants and whole foods?

Agreed tho, there is a difference between black democrat and your typical stuck up liberal.

I agree. And that's why I said to ignore the cities that are blue strictly for demographics (Memphis, Jackson, Birmingham). However, I added the Fondren neighborhood of Jackson because in my limited time there, I noticed it was a very liberal neighborhood.

Athens? Oxford, MS?
