You can be a Democrat in Illinois and be elected -in fact it helps.
You can be a liberal in Illinois and be elected to statewide office -it' easier in a Congressional district on the South or West side or off of the Lake but it is still quite possible.
You cannot be elected on a statewide basis in Illinois as some kind of Marxist radical, an anti-white firebrand clone of Louis Farrakhan or a conspiracy theorist ( or for that matter, as a far right kook or militant anti-abortionist). The last time that happened, when two followers of Lyndon LaRouche won Democratic Party nominations by stealth, it destroyed the entire ticket.

Illinois voters like the middle of the road
