What is the most socially liberal Midwestern state?

Probably Minnesota.

And I must say, I'm surprised to see a Pennsylvania poster who considers their state "Midwestern." I would disagree, but even if it was part of that region I still wouldn't see it as the answer to this question.

The one that Biden won by 7 points and the only one of the group that went D in 2016.

Minnesota

MSP is the defintion of liberal whites, and the metro area is basically half the state if not more. This is an easy choice.

The hilarious thing is you check out Reddit (yeah never a good source for political observations, I know that), many there seem to believe that Minnesota is actually the most prudish and conservative of these states because of our (not even all that strict anymore!) alcohol and blue laws even though the reason those stuck around for so long isn't even because of social conservative but business and labor interests (also we legalized Sunday liquor sales six years ago now, can you neckbeards finally STFU about it?) and that it's OBVIOUSLY going to be the last state to fully legalize weed no matter what the current leaders say and some have even flat out said Alabama and Utah are going to before us...and the fact that we're currently the only state that's selling THC products in places like grocery stores and movie theaters doesn't count because that's not "real weed" and besides it's far too weak because obviously your average person needs 100mg to get high and never could off the 5mg edibles currently allowed....also watch as how half the posters there get deeply triggered at any mention of the currently legal products because they're stupid because we should just fully legalize weed anyway so anyone who sells/uses them is clearly some sort of weed-hating Karen (yes the logic does seriously flow that using weaker THC products is more anti-THC than people who don't use them at all, try figuring that one out.)

Reddit stoners are seriously the dumbest f[inks]ing morons I've ever encountered, it's a very good thing they're not more publicly visible and aren't the driving force behind actual marijuana legalization initiatives because any interaction with those mouth breathers probably would make a convincing argument that marijuana is brain-killing and harmful.

Is Illinois suddenly not in the Midwest?  lmao

Minnesota

The Pittsburgh/Erie part that is clearly west of the high mountains is reasonably Midwestern, and it's quite a meaningful % of the statewide vote.

Easily Minnesota. 

Pennsylvania as a state is not Midwestern; if anything, the relevant question is whether we’re Northeastern or Mid-Atlantic.  The majority of the state’s population lives east of the Appalachians, and frankly the culture doesn’t start feeling remotely Midwestern until you hit a strip of counties that’s about 2-3 wide on the west end of the state.

As it applies to this thread, the portion of PA that could be seen as “Midwestern”, does not have significantly sized socially progressive communities outside of downtown Pittsburgh and some of the college precincts.

Why of these, the home state of Harry Blackmun and Sinclair Lewis, of course.
