Yes, oxymoron I know. But like many of you, I am stuck in :amerikkka:

So if you could pick anywhere to live in the States, where would it be? And why? Ideally where far left ideology is the norm.

    Most ideal would be Washington because the PNW has evergreen rainforests full of fungi. Really remarkable ecosystems.

    Runner-up is Colorado. Within an hour's drive I've got a national park, two national forests, maybe a dozen lakes full of trout that I can kayak in, several dozen trails which would be the jewel of most other states, and probably like half a dozen mountains over 14k' that provide a marathon-level degree of accomplishment for summiting. I can do one of the three big trails within walking distance of my house multiple times during the same week and see different wildflowers. I live in an ancient jungle/sea with some of the best dinosaurs in the world, a major Paleoamerican area with some of the most interesting anthropology in the country, and every natural science aspect of the state is fascinating due to its extreme conditions. It's a Bernie state but only has a PSL/DSA/SRA presence.
