Dems do not want to go out in the country areas, there are too few people and they are scattered so why bother?
Those areas were pretty SOLID Republican, and always voted Republican. The time they didnt was after getting whacked by, first, the dust bowl that destroyed farms, and then the depression that took their money.
It was FDR that saved their farms, homes, and banks and businesses despite their voting for Hoover in 1928 (Hoover won by a WHOPPING 72%!)
So in 1936 they voted for the guy that saved their sorry asses. And then
In 1940 they voted for Willkie.
In 1944 they voted for Dewey.
In 1948 they voted for Dewey.
In 1948 Truman, in a terrific speech, called them what they were: ungrateful.
So if you consider time and limited $$ for the few votes you MIGHT turn, it makes sense to put your limited resources to best advantage.
That said, I think your post is dead solid perfect on - Democratic messaging is just (
crickets.). Non-existent!
The only message I get from Democrats: Send us money.
