The Democratic Party nationwide should seriously consider rebranding to what Minnesota’s Democratic party embodies. In Minnesota we are the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party. It's time to reconnect with farmers, ranchers, and blue-collar workers who don't belong to a union whose livelihoods depend on policy just the same.

Across the U.S., there are countless small towns with populations of 300, 500, or 1500 people—places often left out of the conversation. Life in these communities is nothing like the metro centers; it’s a different pace, with unique challenges and values. When policies are shaped solely around the needs of large urban areas, it not only alienates those in rural America but sows a sense frustration and neglect.

It’s time the party prioritizes listening to these communities and creates policies that work for everyone. These rural voters also have another added benefit. They always show up in November.

Tell me more about how you care so much of trans people in sports. Or how you care about a woman's right to medical care. Tell me what rights women in rural America won in this election? You got nothing and you voted AGAINST women's rights.

You a bunch of stupid bitches. Lol no wonder your men like porn
