I hope he does well. That is an issue I have never considered. That there might not even be a democratic candidate on the ballot in rural areas. Best of luck, if he means it, grass roots change in areas like that are exactly what we need.
I'm in Lesser Carolina. On Tuesday we had an election. Two state level offices. Each one had an incumbent Republican running against a different Republican. The results were basically known before the election happened. So I went in and voted for the non-incumbent just to have something to do. I was the only voter at my place the whole time I was there.
Deep blue states can be this way as well. The primaries effectively decide the winner if there is a Republican or else it is a Democrat v Democrat election where its a referendum on the incumbent.
This is how neocons get voted out for Trumpers
I live outside a decent sized metropolitan area in the Midwest. We currently have a black Democrat mayor. Outside of senators and congressmen. Democrats often don't run for any offices in the area and the state. Outside of the top level ones mayor Etc. I leave large portions of our ballots here blank. Because our only choices are Fascist Republicans or liberals pretending to be Libertarians.
It would seem the true crux of our position is Democrats literally abandoning lower positions in rural areas. We need that for sweeping change. We need that for ranked choice. We need it to stop this slippery slope to a theocracy. We need it to end this ratcheting game.
Between fascist Republicans and liberals pretending to be libertarians, I think it's a pretty clear choice. We vote to live another day.
