As a former Bay Area resident and a progressive, I agree. Progressives in urban areas should focus more on improving things at the state and local levels where they live, and less on what their fellow countrymen in more conservative areas are doing.

Many conservatives believe the state of many Indian reservations are due in part to the mismanaged “welfare state” policies of the BIA that hinder NA’s from improving their lives. Personally I don’t know enough about the situation to say. I was only a child the last time I lived on an Indian reservation and barely remember it.
