Why is there so much overlap in the most wealthy states - MA, NJ, MD, NH, and CA - being the most democratic? Democrats usually want social services and government but wealthy people are known to be self serving and will not benefit from SNAP or RAFT (MA)

States with large urban centers have lots of democratic voters in those areas and also lots of economic activity for the same reason. They're related concepts but not in the way you mean

It feels like the interests are conflicting. I know that those states also have a high emphasis on education and that effects polotics but I feel like this wealth thing is staring us in the face and I don’t have an explanation for it

Also I know NH is a swing state, it’s an outlier my bad. No need to correct me in the comments. Thank you and I hope you have a nice day <3
