Where do you live where the majority of the population is progressive?

People in my home town, New York City, have been watching Trump's antics for decades. He got 20% of the vote.

Also, the election isn't decided by the popular vote. Look at the electoral map.

On the west coast. Most polls that I've seen show that those aren't progressive values, they are the vaules that most people have. The Democrats just keep chosing unpopular positions, because they care more about their donors than voters.
