 Liberal Place: Detroit, MI
These are comments on Detroit, submitted by other Turn Left visitors. They do not necessarily represent the opinion of the webmaster. You may add a comment on Detroit if you want.
 Although a most bitter labor dispute is ongoing with the Detroit
Newspapers and media giants Gannett and Knight Ridder (PLEASE BOYCOTT
BOTH OF THESE EVIL CORPORATIONS! THIS INCLUDES USA TODAY) Detroit has
much to offer, a revitalized labor movement, Wayne State University with
it's labor school. The Walter Reuther Library, the Detroit Institute of
Arts, with awesome Diego Rivere murals, Detroit has much to offer.
...and another comment...
Downtown Detroit and other nearby areas
contain
many a pocket of liberalism. But, other than those three centers of
left-
dominated feelings, there is a growing trend of conservatism.
Perhaps
this is just the natural output of suburban life. Its important to
remember,
though, that the vast majority of liberalism in these parts is populist,
rather
than progressive. This being, obviously, because as the Motor City,
Detroit is also the home to many, MANY, UAW and other union
card-carriers. Sooo... in sumnation.. Detroit's great if your brand of
liberalism is populist, Not so much if you're a striking newspaper
employee, but, outside of Downtown, Ann Arbor, or Royal Oak,
you won't find much in the way of progressive sentiment.
Add a city. Be sure to tell why you think this place is liberal-friendly.
