If the Democrats ever want to be a challenger for the other 34 states that aren't the coasts, NM, CO, MN, and IL, they're going to actually have to stop calling/implying everyone in the "flyover" states ignorant stupid racists who don't know what's good for them. That doesn't mean accepting white supremacy, but it does mean that they need to start figuring out how to engage minorities and urban liberals in those states to be motivated enough to actually show up. Fight for statehouses. Stop just abandoning half the country.
