Super-nerd and polisci major here. Absolutely love this stuff and looking forward to getting my hands dirty with you guys. Also hoping to learn a lot--I'm a little stunted from the Cambridge, MA bubble and I'm looking forward to some fresh perspectives
Welcome. I'm also from Massachusetts, southeastern MA. I love old Cambridge. I worked there for a while a few years back.
Any time anyone wants to be convinced of every outrageous stereotype about liberals, they need only spend a day in Cambridge watching and listening.
I've met plenty of nice people from Cambridge. I tend to not discuss politics with people in RL, except for on the rare occasions.
There's definitely a lot of really nice people in Cambridge, yeah. But definitely odd.
I'll just say that it's a special place and not all liberals are nearly as odd as these Cantabridgians (that's the official name!). That's a bit like accusing all Conservatives of being like the Ozark backwaters or such. Not quite representative, I think
I don't really know many people from Cambridge, so I couldn't say. I do like that city though. The area where I worked (this was years ago though) was really nice area, had some excellent restaurants, and the people all seemed to be quite pleasant for the most part. I also like Cambridge because of all the history in that city.
