The mayor of Burlington is a member of the Vermont Progressive Party, which is left of the Democratic Party. A description of their platform can be found on their Wikipedia page:
I knew Minneapolis was liberal. To what extent of how liberal the Twin Cities metro area is I wasn't sure as I'm unfamiliar with that area. And I'm currently in Chicago so I was just questioning how MSP compares to it.
According to that 2014 Pew Research Center report, Minneapolis is the most liberal city in the Midwest (and #6 nationwide), edging out #7 Detroit and a few notches above #11 (#3 in the Midwest) Chicago. (If, as a few people do, you consider Buffalo a Midwest city, Chicago falls to #4.)
As STLgasm said when they posted it first, I doubt the rankings on that 2014 scale have changed significantly over the decade since.
Travis county is nearly twice the population of Denver county. That’s like comparing Atlanta vs the entire LA metro and saying Atlanta is more liberal
Maybe equally to the point, Denver, like Philadelphia and San Francisco, is at once a city and a county. The Colorado legislature pretty much stripped Denver of its powers to annex land because when it did, that land ceased to belong to the county it was in and became part of the City and County of Denver, whose territory would take up part of five counties were that not the case.
Feels like the Colorado shift has been more than ten years. Denver being the main driver of course. Test of the state feels conservative imo
Voting patterns in Colorado suggest that in addition to Denver and its closer suburbs, the university cities of Boulder and Fort Collins, and several ski resort and outdoor oriented communities such as Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, Telluride and Durango lean to the liberal side. Altogether such places make up a large share of the state.

Ah. Yes I consider Boulder a part of Denver metro. It’s basically Berkeley in my mind. But fewer Asians. More frat types
It’s probably semantics but I always thought Great Lakes cities like Chicago and Cleveland kind of considered coastal?
Right that's what I was thinking regarding Miami.
