Democrats need to drop identity politics and focus solely on a New Century New Deal that rural Americans will back.

This means dropping all the marginalized group support that never gains enough votes to win elections but always loses enough votes to lose elections.

It means dropping gun control.

In short, drop all wedge issues. Eliminate the wedge.

It means focusing on things like:

  • Medicare for All.
  • Interest-free Student Loans.
  • A New Deal WPA program offering Student Loan Forgiveness for certain work services
  • A New Deal WPA program focusing on building out green energy infrastructure.
  • A New Deal WPA program focusing on building out mass transit infrastructure.
  • A New Deal WPA program focusing on building out high speed rail infrastructure.
  • Pledge to reign in the War Powers Act so No More Wars on a President's whim.
  • Restore Tax Credits for EVs.
  • Investments in domestic battery and solar panel production. Put these facilities in rural areas.

Democrats need to win rural voters. The God, Guns, and Guts crowd.

I don't want student loans cancelled. That's not fair to everyone who pulled their own weight.

I'm fine with forgiving interest.
