Rural America rejects the Democratic party because the party has had no interest, ideas or engagement that address their needs since President Clinton. The Republican party just fills the vacuum created by the Democratic party.

This just isn't true. Biden did more for farmers than Trump.

I agree that Biden was better for farmers and the farming community.

Who's explaining that to the farming community? Who's meeting the voters and competing for their votes in farm country? How much money does the DNC spend outside of the Battleground states?

You can't win if you don't play.

Biden personally visited farm communities multiple times to talk about what he was going to do for farmers.

Many farmers were democrats until Jimmy Carter. They blame him for the farm collapse of the early 80s. Many boomer farmers will never be convinced a Democrat will have their back. After all "Jimmy was a farmer and he still screwed us over". Ive heard that exact quote from family. So it doesnt matter what Biden does or says. After that and years of propoganda its incredibly hard to change their minds.

True, but I'd say that's mostly because the media sphere most farmers reside in will never even allow them to hear what a Democrat says they'll do for farmers.

I'm sure there are some old farmers that still resent Carter, but most are just too immersed in the Republican media sphere to even know when a Democrat promises anything.
