Opinion of South Dakota

[memphis]

ND was the start of the Non Partisan League, which is pretty much the closest thing America has had to a mass appeal anti-elite agrarian socialist movement.

It survives in the repealed death penalty (California still has one), the nationalised bank and grain elevator, the ban on corporate farming etc.

Sorry, I just have a lot of love for the state of North Dakota. I still love California! (Well, more NorCal that SoCal; I don't think humans should live in deserts, it's against nature)

Take it from someone who actually lived there, it sounds a lot better on paper with your descriptions then it ends up being. The sheer isolation and emptiness is a much bigger issue than you think. Driving from Fargo to Bismarck in the dead of winter and arriving after midnight makes it feel like Bismarck might as well be some sort of colony a different planet considering how barren it before it, I know that actually sounds cool, but then try LIVING there instead of just visiting...

Imagine homesteading in North Dakota before automobiles or telephones were commonplace. Just you, your mule, and the weather in the middle of nowhere.

In October, it's definitely a Freedom State for not having a holiday celebrating one of the most brutal mass murderers of all time.

Blaming Columbus for the killing of natives of the Americas is like blaming Dr. Antoine Louis for all those that died by the guillotine. #idiotic

Your a racist! Just like Maryland!

While we're on the subject of South Dakota, what's the difference between it and North Dakota in terms of political culture?

I think North Dakota is historically a bit more progressive. They have a state bank. Byron Dorgan is the one who warned us all about the repeal of Glass Steagal.

South Dakota right wingers are pretty scary to me.  But beyond that, FS all the way. Black Hills are way too beautiful for me to vote any other way.
