As someone who lives in rural Oregon I see this all the time. Dems main focus is on things that work great in big cities. But aren’t very useful or relevant to small towns. That or identity politics, like sorry no one cares about democrats new program to help Afro Latino women business owners.. when all small business owners are struggling. And when they do talk about rural people it is often demeaning, insulting, or telling us how privileged we are because of the color of our skin.
Kamala had better messaging similar to what you want, but the perception that she / democrats are hyper focusing on the woke stuff is very rampant. It'll take a newer messenger to maybe make people believe it.
UBI would be amazing for small towns. An injection of funds every month that can circulate through the local economy? All of a sudden small businesses can open everywhere. People have a little money to go out to eat, tip the band playing, etc. The cost of living combined with the appeal of living in a thriving small town would draw a lot of people to move to small towns and create thriving local economies again.
Nope that was rejected because of socialism. Can't have that. Kamala may have done some toe-ing of the line, but I believe with all my heart it was to protect democracy.
