Скачать или смотреть Coastal Elites & Country Bumpkins: Bridging the Rural-Urban Political Divide

Damaging stereotypes about rural and urban voters abound in politics. What’s really going on in the charged landscape known as the rural-urban divide? Are rural voters actually voting against their interests when they elect a Republican? And are urban voters so immersed in the culture war they’re out of touch with the everyday concerns of working people? Is there any commonality across this geographical chasm?






In today’s episode, Sarah Jaynes of the Rural Democracy Initiative, and Bonnie Dobson from Down Home North Carolina, share insights and anecdotes from long-term organizing with working class voters. Despite how it might feel out here, there is a way to bridge the rural urban divide for a more unified working class electorate.
