Progressives and liberals are not spread out enough across the country in large enough numbers to win more elections.What can liberals and progressives do to turn more of the map blue? The short answer is…MOVE!In this podcast, we talk to people in places that aren't blue. Sometimes it's liberals who are on the ground in deep red territory.
