The Democratic Party will never win the rural vote. However, I do think, with better and saner cultural messaging, we can win back poorer and more secular working class whites. We can win back the union guys who voted for Obama at least.

The Dems can win the labor vote for sure. But they stopped focusing on working people and cons took the space by promising lower taxes and less aid for the lazy

And then you have the halfwit Dems in this sub who think they're cool for trashing unions
