How can Dems win rural voters?

[TransfemmeGoreVidal]

I think it has to do with explaining their policies. This election, their message was for the most part, anti-Trump, and I think in hindsight they could've done a better job of explaining to voters, particularly those in these rural communities, why the Democratic platform would benefit them.

Voters don’t vote on policy. Period.

That's a ridiculously over-simplistic statement. People vote for many different reasons, maybe too many vote for shallow cultural ones but that's not everyone.
