Veteran strategist James Carville expressed concerns about the Democratic Party's focus on urban voters at the expense of rural Americans. On a recent podcast, he criticized the party's neglect of rural communities, calling for outreach and apologies to voters who feel ignored. Carville emphasized that Democrats missed a key opportunity in the 2024 elections to connect with these voters, suggesting that party members need to reconsider their strategies. He urged for a more inclusive approach that values and addresses the needs of rural populations, aiming to rebuild trust and support.
"Democrats should apologize to disenfranchised rural voters for being so goddamn stupid by ignoring them... it was always the time for Democrats to campaign hard in rural areas."
"Large swaths of rural Americans feel like the Democratic Party doesn't see them, doesn't talk to them, or doesn't prioritize them... this gives us a chance for them to take another look at the Democratic Party."
