Your weekend read on rural America 🐶🧵
“Look at Democratic candidates who are successful in rural communities — Jared Golden, Tim Ryan, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.
They do not just talk about rural deprivation and rural impoverishment, as real as it often is in their states.” 1/4
The narrative of "White Rural Rage" — a new book dumping on rural America — gets the research wrong. I know, because some of it is mine, writes political scientist Nicholas Jacobs.

sorry, not compelling. democrats also lost the house in 2022. there were far more swing districts back in 1994 and 2010, so the number of seats democrats lost was greater.
losing control of a chamber of congress = a bad election. period.
Biden has made clear that he finds it particularly rich that the architects of historic Democratic losses in the 1994 and 2010 midterm elections would be lecturing him about how to save the party after he presided over a better-than-expected midterm in 2022.

using the same playbook in 2024 will not reverse the trend.
the party must adapt and adjust.
I don't think people have really internalized that Biden BARELY won in 2020.
If 43,000 people in the right states had voted differently (0.028% of all votes cast) Trump would have won another term.
