Blue States shouldn't ignore red rural expanses

The great state of Texas may exemplify this more than Washington state, but the same principles apply here. Folks in the rural areas get left behind by the metropolitan-centered Democratic party. Fortunately for us, the cities have enough votes to limit the damage done by red county, misinformed voters. It isn't a bad thing to understand how diverse a state can be. We can't reach these folks without working with them with respect and humility. We need to be able to do this hard thing.
