How can Dems improve with rural whites?

ignore them. Let the Republicans take them on, since most of them are voting against their own interests anyway. Focus on minorities/suburban voters, that's what got the House in 2018.

that's a problem. you think you know their interests more than they do. Voting isn't just an economic calculus. At its core it's tribal and people vote to reinforce their families and communities.
