Since 2016, Democrats have operationally withdrawn from rural America. No party can win nationally without rural voters, and progressive economics have plenty to offer, if only the party would embrace them.
They’re inbred bigoted hicks anyway.
As a very left rural American, fuck you

2014 - Democrats vote in some “blue dog” democrats. Progressives complain that they’re DINOs.
2022 - Democrats get push back from centrist democrats like Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin on the Green New Deal. Democrats cast them out.
2025 - John Fetterman works across the aisle in support of rural voter causes…you get the drill
This article “we need more rural democrats!” Yeah, good luck finding ones who are willing to take the progressive lambasting.
You calling Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin “centrists” just shows you have no idea what you are talking about. They are 100% corporate Democrats who took millions from oil or pharmaceuticals lobby to kill bills that were unfairable to them. Hence Build Back Better and Medicaid prescription drug negotionations being neutered into nothing. But you continue living in your denial bubble.
John Fetterman voted with Republicans more than he voted with Democrats. He’s a a simple sellout to a foreign country and primarify funded by The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). He should be treated as a traitor.
I and 70%+ of the country prefer Tim Walz style rural vision.
With a 1 seat majority in Minnesota he did:
- universal free school meals
- legal weed
- carbon free electricity by 2040
- tax rebates for the working class up to $1,300 (making under $150k per year)
- 12 weeks paid family leave
- 12 weeks paid sick leave
- banned conversion therapy
- red flag laws for guns
- universal background checks for guns
- automatic voter registration
- free public college (under $80k)
- ban on PFAS (forever chemicals)
- $2.2 billion increase in k-12 school funding
- sectoral bargaining for nursing home worker
