Showing Original Post only (View all)Best Democratic states to live or retire? [View all]
I just noticed that Massachusetts went entirely blue this election. It's obviously a very blue state, but even in 2016, a few counties went for Trump. Not this year.
What do you think are the best Democratic states to live or retire that have good quality of life and aren't astronomically expensive? I realize Democratic states and expensive usually go hand in hand, but are there any that are better than others?
I live in Maryland right now which I'm kinda bored with, so looking to move. And my parents are retired and want to move next year some place really blue. They're leaning towards Massachusetts or New Hampshire, but New Hampshire isn't super blue - it's more purple.
What states do you all like the best?

Have you researched the water situation there? Don't know much about but it seems dire.

We've lived here in New Mexico since 2005. I'm happier here than I've ever been in many

With Massachusetts you're surrounded by Blue, RI, CT, NH, VT and NY. Oh ya and the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm happy in Minnesota, which is very blue as long as you don't leave

This might be a made-up word but I remember it from a German class
