It takes more than camo hats, hotdishes and a hunting license to get the votes of America’s rural residents.
Does Tim Walz understand the grievances and anxieties felt by many rural residents living across the country?

Rural voters don’t necessarily love Walz, despite the camo hat and small-town upbringing
It takes more than camo hats, hot dish and a rural-friendly image to get the votes of America’s rural residents.The Conversation

As compared to the rapist who craps in a gold toilet and his couch humping incel lackey who fantasizes about instituting a forced breeding program?
Gee, I don't know. Is Walz relatable enough? Does he understand just plain folk who don't crap in gold toilets or bury their ex-wives in unmarked graves on golf courses they own?
Who is to say? It's a complete toss up.
I'll file this as a shining example of why so many people hate the media.

Those anxieties are mostly due to #GOP rule.
Example: Texas and Florida are both complete shitholes after 30 years of GOP misgovernance.

We're never going to see you publish that.
Your reporting is partisan, slanted towards protecting the Republicans.
Muted. Adios.

in reply to The Conversation U.S. • • •"But Walz’s challenge is not merely to present a rural-friendly image.
It’s addressing the deeper issues that motivate rural voters, such as economic insecurity, perceived cultural marginalization and distrust in government."
This point might have weight if the party they vote for hadn't been under the singular control of a fascist New York real estate magnate for the last decade.
It's bigotry. They're voting got bigotry. That's it. That's their only issue.

in reply to The Conversation U.S. • • •What is with this insanely biased and leading coverage?
Where are the articles questioning J.D. Vance's suitability as a VP candidate?
I know that CNN, NYT, and WaPo have lowered themselves to this level, but I really expected better from you?
What are you doing?

in reply to The Conversation U.S. • • •A strange approach to this question.
Walz grew up with the grievances and anxieties, and went on to actually try to solve them.
But the GoP playbook is to stoke those grievances and anxieties and turn them against boogeymen.
This isn't about Walz. It's about the GoP poisoning the rural well.
