(10,337 posts)17. I think that is why I am trying to ramp up the Az. group
I can't count the # of times I've heard that "I am a progressive in Az. surrounded by a sea of red. I'm not buying it. As I see it, we are just not talking to each other. Hell, look at this group. More than a hundred people have looked at this post and about ten have actually taken the time to respond. If you feel isolated, maybe you need to reach out a little further.
I came here with much trepidation. All I had heard about Arizona was about Jan (Dick Cheney in drag) Brewer and sherif fat white racist guy. Maybe I'm lucky to have landed in Baha Arizona but with a little work, I seem to have established a group of like minded friends. Drinking liberally has certainly expanded my horizon and you don't even have to drink. FWIW, I have NEVER seen somebody at drinking liberally who was actually drunk. Progressive Dems, Move on, The Democratic party meetings, All are a way to connect with like minded Arizonans. A little effort is required but the results are worth it.
We really need to talk more and that is why I contnue to pimp this group. We're here, you just have to do a little, tiny bit of work to connect.
A good place to start is to go to Kali's thread about throwing Fat, racist white guy out of office and sign the pettition. Only takes a minute and you will sleep better tonight knowing that you have done something worthwhile. Then, take a moment to feel the sense of accomplishment and sign up for the Arizona group and post us a note about how good it made you feel! Watch as those feelings of isolation fade away!

I knew about the theatre group (they almost went under last year, sadly) and the newspaper...
