I ran for the State House in 2022.

I knocked a lot of rural doors. Folks would listen to me, often agree with me on most issues, and then find out I was running as a Democrat. I can't count the number of people who said they couldn't vote for a Democrat because they were Christian.

By nearly every metric, Bidenomics was a roaring success. It would be a mistake to ignore or forget the lessons that can be gleaned from the administration’s robust economic policy.

The president’s domestic record wasn’t just extraordinary. It might put Democrats back in power in four years.

It almost like we warned women and minorities this would happen.
Republican women are upset that the GOP won’t let them run Committees.

People of color are upset that they aren’t being represented in Trump’s Cabinet.

Muslim voters are upset about Trump’s Gaza policies.

Turns out, the face-eating leopards don’t spare you because you voted for them. Weird, huh?
Reminds me of that episode in The Handmaid Tales where Serena Joy thought because she had written the rules and bylaws for women as incubators and all that bs that she would be equal to the men and was shocked when they kicked her complicit ass out of the big meeting.

I grew up rural and like others moved away and never went back. I understand the mindset.

I struggle - how to reach them. Talking policies and programs simply doesn't cut it when the pulpits, church groups, talk radio, and the chatter at the gas station and lunch cafeteria skews toward distrust.

No one invested more in rural communities than Biden/Harris though. In EVERY case, the only reason some of that didn't get to some (red) areas are because Republicans blocked it (like with Medicaid expansion which lead to rural hospital closures). Biden brought broadband & infrastructure!
