Why do Democrats do so poorly with rural voters?

264. Some do, some don't

In various degrees. There is much more variety in non-urban peoples than urban peoples. Piraha people in Amazon feel that their culture is complete, they don't need anything from other cultures. They have found their Garden of Eden, or never lost it. We can and should respect that. They don't bother us, we don't need to bother them, but we can be happy they exist and enjoy their beauty, what little we know of it. I hope. Or what if our urban way of life can't continue without cutting down their forests and mining the metals of their land? Because we NEED all of that too, to keep on growing? If that is so, and that is all we are, what are we?

Urban centers are melting pots of rural variety, and monocultures of same urban sprawl all over the globe. There is value also in that, as in many ways cultural evolution is faster in urban melting pots. But the urban monoculture, fantasy of eternal growth and technocratic control over nature has become to end. Take bankers and their money away, what is left of urban culture? Quite much, no doubt, but much less than urban people think in their blind self-importance. Refinding balance would suck much less, I believe.

I'm not claiming moral high ground. When I want high, I take dope. I like being grounded, plain and simple. Common sense. No competition who has highest morals, who is up most. Don't like that game, Sky Daddy is ok, I guess, and part of all, but I'm more in the womb of Mother Earth type of guy. Just a little child. So please have patience with me and forgive my mistakes.
