15. Well I think that there is an attempt to find a strategy - similar to what John Fetterman used

to reach out to some of those communities.

One of the issues that has and continued to impact making those inroads, has been a near-complete RW control of the media that blasts misinformation 24/7 over all the little radio stations that blanket those areas. However actually "showing up in person" (vs throwing ads directed to those areas) is probably the best way to expand the outreach, which is what Fetterman did with his not one, but TWO "67- County Listening Tours".

I did just find this interesting article this morning about the new NC Democratic Party Chair - who is a mere 25 years old and who wants to address that gap - https://www.npr.org/2023/09/06/1196635417/democratic-party-north-carolina-anderson-clayton-gen-z-voters-rural-politics

I think the future is with this new generation of politically savvy GenZers, who grew up with a more expansive worldview than any among the boomers, GenX or even Millennials could ever have achieved.
