(86,323 posts)are here and very much ignored by most of the national candidates.
That needs to change.
Stop blaming "the square states" for not being a large number of people, we are still Americans, many of us do vote and sometimes we get good policies but it's a major fight because we don't get any notice from the "crowded states".
Stop telling ME that I don't matter because I live in a rural state or that I shouldn't have an equal say or less than two Senators representing me because of where I live.
This argument about "rural states", "square states" is just an extension of the zip code bias you see in education and other social concerns.
So when is the last time someone came to Montana and did an actual survey/analysis of the political climate here? And I don't mean a three minute "post card" on NPR..
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
