Where is the equivalent Liberal Conference?

12. Good question. I suppose you have that Netroots conference but that's pretty lame in comparison.

I don't think there is any such equivalent. Netroots (does that still exist any more?) is probably the closest thing and Occupy had the potential to unite progressives with its simple "We are the 99%" message but that, sadly, fell apart.

Republicans love going to CPAC. High profile Democratic politicians are simply not going to associate themselves with a similar group of left wing activists, unless they represent a substantial ethnic or other interest group. Democrats will go to NAACP, of course and to feminist and gay rights groups but shun anything related to advancing economic equality unless a sizable amount of votes or money is attached to it.

Lack of coverage or hostile coverage of liberal events by the mainstream media is perfectly understandable. Liberal ideas threaten corporate profits. Conservative ideas, properly disciplined, do not.
