Do We Ignore Or Engage Rural Voters? Maxrandb is posting over on Democratic Underground that were wasting our time reaching out to rural voters, a perennial obsession with Democrats, particularly since the bestselling book Hillbilly Elegy catapulted its author into the GOP race for the US Senate. This Republican meme, that Democrats are ignoring and thus insulting flyover country is a useless waste of time, Maxrandb suggests. Instead, Republican voters who are in the minority in America by substantial numbers should be reaching out to city dwellers to understand their unique needs and concerns. I agree and think youll find it a thought-provoting read (if youre not offended by obscenity).Well done, Maxrandb!
I will look for a link. I think this may be the thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216121525

Not me - one of my most cherished books is 'Screwed' -- Thom autographed it for me.

Really! I agree that urban / city dwellers have always provided the paychecks for these
