Democrats agree: They ignored, talked down to rural voters, and lost them

The ‘Rats talk down to all the voters.

[Luke21]

I love how the communists think using the word “folks” as often as possible is the route to getting stupid farmers and hayseeds to give up their guns and white privilege.

[Huskrrrr]

Like a broken clock.

[Huskrrrr]

“I ain’t on ways tired.”

[dowcaet]

The Democrats anti-White, pro illegal alien and pro BLM stances aren’t gonna help. White working class people know that the Democrats hate their guts now!

[Billthedrill]

Democrats can do that simply by being genuine, multiple leaders say.

Uh huh. And when they can fake that, they've got something going.

There has been considerable talk about addressing this issue by simply taking the votes of Flyover Country away: going with an urban-centric popular vote and eliminating the Electoral College. In that scenario they wouldn't have to earn their votes because their votes won't matter. Listen carefully to those who proclaim that Hillary "won the popular vote". That's precisely what they're getting at.

That won't happen. And so, regretfully, the bicoastal urban elitists who are currently the decision makers within the Democrat party are going to have to soil their soft hands and learn how to fake sincerity whilst mingling with the unwashed. Calling for a change in attitude is futile, although it's the right answer.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The Marxist ideology is never to blame. For the Dems, it's that people are too stupid to know what's best for them, and they need us Democrats to hold their hand.

Please Demoncrats, continue pivoting Left and honestly tell people you want to run their lives. You'll get their votes, trust me!

[bigbob]

They lost rural voters a long time ago, there just wasn’t a good alternative (McCain? Romney?) until now. Plus, some rural people bought into the black guy thing, much to the nations peril.

[JamesP81]

I was hoping they’d stay stupid a little longer.

[sauropod]

bkmk

[Tucker39]

Sounds to me like their only intent is to sucker their former voters into coming back and keeping or putting them in office, so they can continue their uppity, regal, snobbish ways as always. No intention whatever to change their ways, or respect the people who actually make the Country work.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Don’t worry. The fact that they have a cardboard cut-out of Hillary Clinton at that meeting tells me that they haven’t learned a thing.

[Libloather]

With a cardboard cutout of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton...

Was that the one chucked inside the Scooby van like a side of beef?

[HonkyTonkMan]

Lets give speech in front of a 4-H sign. Add a white picket fence and wear a blue colored shirt to symbolize the working man. Now we have our strategy!

[2ndDivisionVet]

I believe that’s a room at the ISU Memorial Union. My sister and brother-in-law are alumni there.

[Spok]

The dogma of Marxism subordinates the value of human beings to nothing. It’s in the DNA of Democrats to think of people as cattle.

[Teacher317]

Are you sure that’s cardboard? She’s always been rather stiff...

[Seruzawa]

No matter how they like the fact remains they hate rural folk. A vote for Democrats is a vote for men in the girls bathroom. A vote for communist brainwashing in schools. A vote for national suicide.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...he feels it’s more important for Democrats to be genuine and honest

Rush has pointed out many times they can never do that because they'd have to say:

• Murder babies up to birth
• Sell murdered baby limbs, brains and organs to the highest bidder
• Praise BLM, antifa, OWS, BAMN, etc because America sucks, is unjust and is immoral
• Ban every tradition and all patriotism. Celebrate Marx, Stalin, Mao, and Che
• Get every product and service, including all of your health care, from the government
• Open them borders wide, let in every Islamist and uneducated third-worlder so we can prove diversity is our strength
• Slash defense so we can pay more welfare, EBT, etc
• Tax the "rich" at 90% (meaning everybody)
• End all fossil fuel use. The little bit of electricity you are allowed to use will only be available 10 AM to 5 PM and cost at least 10X what you pay now.
• Ban all internal combustion engines
