I mean, even way back when [old man shouting at clouds voice] when the Democrats were sort of in power, they didn't do that much to help rural people. I mean, the Chuck Chvala years? Blargh.

Rural folks often see Democrats as career politicians who only care about getting re-elected. And a lot of times, it doesn't seem like they're wrong.

It feels like it's all about who can talk a better cultural buzzword game to the people they see as rubes, while shoveling money at landlords and big business. But I'd love to see state policy turn around and start rebalancing the scales. Here's hoping we can hold anyone to it.
