LFG? You Have MY Sword!

Get it, Piper

I keep getting spam mail from Republicans about how this guy or that guy is 'not a REAL republican' and I'm like... "Cool. Good for him."
Zeroforwinger
It’s true. Democrats hold Senate seats in WV and MT because they have candidates who appeal to the populace. No idea if she’s right for MO.
xtradry
Maybe they don’t want Democrats
HonestCommentFarmer
Pollsters classify a solidly Red district as R+7 or higher. That simply means 57% of the district went Republican. 7% more.

I'm pretty sure a comfortable majority of white rural Missourians are bigoted trash.
Istherenothingleft
There is nothing comfortable about that. That is decidedly uncomfortable.
TheImmunerd
Just moved from rural southwest Missouri. Logic is gone, and some of our neighbors were legit scary gun nuts. I don't have answers
AutoFox
True story, I feel like the Democrats have basically given up on rural voters.

It's not that we don't have good candidates. Galloway, for example, would have been perfect.

I lived in Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin. Very often see Rs running unopposed everywhere
SalmonMax
She's 100% correct. Republicans got to where they are by RUNNING. It took them decades, but they kept running. We can't do any less.
Thornaxe
Every time I say that here I get shit on. Apparently policy proposals with zero engagement/presence is supposed to be enough. But it’s not.
Iaimtomisbehave
This. Rural is tough, Texas Dems need poll watchers and volunteer deputy registrars especially: https://www.votetexas.gov/get-involved/ ,
Eldibs
As a MO resident, when I go to vote against the GQP, I'm hoping Rs get complacent and stay home while Ds are scared enough to vote en masse.

Looking For Group?
paulus1978
Wait, so you're saying you need to TALK to your potential voter base? Well shit, who came up with that crazy far out idea...
mmmdonutss
Dems need to grow a pair. Don’t protest and use words. Play the game. FFS we are smarter than them. They don’t even understand hygiene
TheDiscoVampire
I have played mmo's far too long. The first thing I thought of was Looking For Group.
Grillparzer
The divide in this country is between rural & urban voters and has been for decades.
kraeftig
AZ is like that too. Everyone seems convinced we are red but I haven't been ABLE to vote an all blue ticket in my 15 years of voting.

Did she find her goose?! #LFG
HonestCommentFarmer
I swear, you just need 1 or 2 good farmer-focused reform ideas and you can wax the Rs in most rural districts.

DNC need to get more involved financially in primaries. We have a run-off and it’s looking like two Republican candidates in Clark County WA
squirrellbot
But DCCC made an idiotic rule that they will only support incumbents after AOC usurped their corporate friendly candidate in her primary.
faultysage
They black listed consultants who helped primary challengers, a policy they've already rolled back.
squirrellbot
Right now our Democratic candidates best hope is the MAGA vote splits between Kent and St. John so she faces incumbent rep in the general.
Fedotia
Weird country where you vote for a guy who may vote for your guy. Or not. Because direct democracy is haram somehow.
cdlong
This is another ramification of the electoral college. D's in R states and R's in D states vote less because they know they're going to lose
pgdave
That shouldn't have any effects on non-Presidential votes though.
cdlong
This affects down ballot races too. More states would be more purple in their federal congress picks and state and local level positions.
HonestlyNotARobot
I'm in a closed primary state. I switched my registration to republican just to vote for moderate republicans in primaries
AngleSimi
Or they are afraid to vote for the other party so they don't vote
Daevram1123
It doesn't help that our polling places are becoming less and less accessible. As well as gerrymandering. Not as big of a problem as in
Daevram1123
Other states but it isn't for lack of trying.
