Democrats plot new approach to win over rural voters
By Jonathan Easley and Reid Wilson - 01/18/20 05:06 PM EST
Democrats are homing in on a strategy they hope will bring new rural voters into the fold through hyperlocal economic messaging and by venturing into parts of the country they ignored in the run-up to the 2016 election.
There’s a coordinated effort among the House Democratic campaign arm, presidential candidates and liberal outside groups to address the party’s rural blind spot by finding new ways to speak to white working class voters and rural black voters in key battleground states and districts in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Illinois and New York.
Democrats believe they’re making inroads with the white working class voters in the Rust Belt who broke late for President Trump in 2016 through an ad campaign showcasing stories from disappointed voters who are local to the region.

What's not to be disappointed in Democrats for? Not one policy they have thrown about has done squat for people who just want to earn a decent living.

As long the Dems are joined at the hip with Enviros (can you say "Delta Smelt"?) and the (sub)urban regulatory state (can you say "Navigable Waterways"?) that drives farmers out of business, they'll find persuasion difficult. If the Rs actually FIGHT!

That's a start. Forestry and Grasslands policies as currently practiced by the BLM need a solid review, too, and not by environazis. Logging in National Forests was practiced before, and could go a long way toward reducing the intensity of, and difficulty fighting wildfires.

I was trying to be brief. Basically the Enviros and the food-Luddites have made government the enemy of farmers and farming.

They've made the government the enemy of anyone who eats.
It's the new Lysenkoism.
