This is the mentality that results in Alabama being the worst state in the United States with close competition to Mississippi. In a perfect world all states would be swing states, but the blind allegiance to parties, especially Alabama republicans, doesn't help anyone

You are completely wrong with that statement.

First off, people that say Alabama and Mississippi are the worst states are usually democrats. I have loved living in AL and MS.

I don't like having blind alligences to parties either. However, the Democratic Party has become a socialist party full of hate that I do not want my state associated with. Not to mention, long term democratic rule has been proven to destroy thriving U.S. cities. Look at Detroit and Chicago. Both are in shambles because of the democrats

Don't get me wrong the republicans in the south are complacent and don't get things done. However, I'd rather nothing get done than democratic policies get advanced

I don't really know where to start here. It is great that you have loved living there, but that doesn't mean they both don't blow and rank almost last in any meaningful metric you want to select. To say Detroit and Chicago are in shambles because of the democrats would be like me saying Alabama being a republican state is the single reason why the state struggles so much. Chicago also isn't that bad tbh, big city with lots of nice areas, and lots of bad areas. There is a lot more nuance with Detroit.
