Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Why Democrats (not candidates) need to STOP ignoring and/or demonizing rural voters... [View all]doompatrol39
(428 posts)...our candidates DO flock to these rural areas and our news media is over saturated with think pieces about rural voters, what is important to them, what it will take to reach them, etc. The entirety of our primaries and elections are based on who is most likely to reach them. Millions more people all across the country vote for Democrats, yet we aren't in control and lose our voices because rural voters want to be wooed and have their feelings coddled.
And believe me if I thought that these pleading "Won't someone think of the rural voters?!?!?!?!?" or "What do these voters care about?!?!?" were talking about rural minority voters then I'd be all for it. But that's rarely what is being referenced or who is being appealed to or who we get to see glimpses of eating breakfast in diners like "real Americans".
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
