The reason why Midwestern Democrats are so awesome and West Coast, New York, and Pennsylvania democrats suck so badly is because of capital concentration. A dense capital concentration creates stronger incentives to do bad things or not do good reforms.Examples: Pennsylvania’s economy is deeply intertwined with fracking and weapons manufacturing. Pennsylvania Democrats are going to be very weak on climate change and very hawkish and Pro-Israel as a rule. Same with California and Washington state when it comes to big tech and AI. Same with New York when it comes to finances and speculation.
