(10,337 posts)I grew up in San Francisco. Four years ago we moved to Ticson Arizona. I thought we were the only progressivs in the state so I started looking. Found Drinking Liberally Tucson. Hundreds of people in my demographic. Found Sunflower Democrats and Friends democratic club. More hundreds. Became president of said club. Founded Marana Democrats Democratic club. Became a Precinct Comittie person In Legislative District 11. Found six other clubs in LD11. now we are up to housands. Similar demographics, similar political views. Trying to grow our club, I asked the Pima County Dems to Give me a list of registered Dems in about a ten square mile radius of my house. There are THOUSANDS of us! I'm sure many of my neighbors think they are the only dems around. They are wrong and our club has begun the process of reaching out to each and every one of them to let them know that. When we figure out how to do hat most effectivly, our results are going to be used by all the other Democratic clubs in and around Tucson to do the same.
Yes, DU is a bubble. Virtually no one I've talked to in the above has even heard of DU but every one of them that I've talked to shares our values. There are a lot more of us old Hippies out there than you think. I'm doing the work and I'm finding them.
