Showing Original Post only (View all)Why does Trump win over rural America? Why will the young take to the streets yet choose not to vote [View all]
If we could figure out the answers to these two questions, Trump, The Turtle, and their followers would all be sent home crying, never to be seen again.
Trump, despite everything he's said and done, will once again destroy Biden/Harris in rural America. This even includes his dismantling of the USPS, which rural folks count on more than those in urban areas. Is it all about race? All about fear? What the hell is wrong with these people? As usual, they will once again vote against their interests. Do I need to reread Thomas Frank's "Whats the Matter with Kansas?"
Why are the youth of the nation so good at getting out into the streets to protest, yet they never show up at the polls? Do they really think their vote makes no difference? Do they really think both parties are the same? Do they believe the Party doesn't listen to them and continues to be centrist over progressive? I say, show up and help us beat Trump and your ideas will be fully listened to with many acted on. We old-timers have to know you're really out there and committed to change before you gain control of the party.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
