The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back.
We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
