No. Liberals are just as invested in local politics.

I don't think that's true. As the article points out, during Obama's first term the Republicans built their tea party movement at the state and local levels, while Democrats were primarily focused on Washington. As a result, a majority of state legislatures became Republican controlled, which, I believe, is still the case today.

Democratic party is not equal to liberals. It's the party with power closest to liberal ideas.
