Center the party around the Midwest, and you will own the country.

Reasonable, hardworking, conservative but open minded, and they generally want to be left alone.

Pivot to them and you lose nobody, and gain more voters elsewhere too.

The GOP keeps losing everyone else the more they pivot to Christian sharia.

You may lose some. But yeah, the biggest thing is to run counterpropaganda to the Midwest. You want walz, you want Obama, and you want to not talk down to us or above us.

I firmly believe that farmers can be sold on wind power, but you gotta sell it to them in their eyes. Tell them what you want to give them in exchange for taxes. So much of anti tax rhetoric I hear comes from people who don’t think they get anything out of their taxes. Hell, “we want trains in your cities to reduce traffic” works. Hammer on an end to government intrusion in private life. Rather than saying it’s about abortion make a call for a legal right to privacy.

And above all else, don’t let rich people from the coasts pretend to be one of us. Desantis cosplaying an Ohioan was not even a little appealing to us.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
