29. Inquiring minds want to know this as well!

We push policies that would help everybody in the country, including rural voters and get attacked and smeared for them by Republicans and then a lot of rural voters hate us and vote Republican based on the lies and smears. It’s hard to know what else to do. I can’t help but feel that when I read things like this what we are really being asked to do is pander to some of their racist or bigoted beliefs or other views that are harmful to other people or that they just think we should elevate their concerns and priorities over other people’s, which, of course what Republicans are always willing to do, hence why they usually keep winning their votes (unless they actually support Republican “policies” in which case, again, how do we win them over without just becoming Republican-lite ourselves?)
