Democrats Dont Have an Easy Answer for the Rust Belt

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

9. It's actually really simple...rural working class should be Democrats are sick of "nanny state"

It's so damn simple, it really, really is. Most rural working class voters (unless they are super religious) do NOT care about all the same things the religious right care about. Most of them aren't really bigots either. They just resent the hell out of those sanctimonious city folk trying to tell them what they can/can't do, think, say, believe, etc. They want to live and let live. They are tired of people from urban areas trying to dictate to them how they are supposed to think, live, act, etc. They're over it. They just want a damn job that pays the bills, provides for their families and to be left the hell alone. That's really all it is. Those Obamacare rate hikes pissed them off. They wanted to know that Democrats hear their concerns and actually care instead of listen to party elites congratulate themselves on how smart and awesome they are. They want people to LISTEN and CARE.

Now were they foolish in their choice? Hell yeah, they were. Want to get them back? Stop focusing on things that come across as being controlling and focus on the goddamned jobs. They need to survive before they give two shits about anything else.
