Nodding my head nearly all the way through ... this book very much talks about a part of the US, and a culture, that I know well, and I very much feel the frustration of believing that Democrats should be a larger force for good in rural America, as they have been in the not-so-distant past. It's going to happen again, at some point, because these things go in cycles, but it can't happen soon enough, and it'll take actual effort and attention from the national party. This book, I think and hope, is part of the conversation that'll start that swing away from the extremism and fear-mongering of the current "rural" party. ( ) Timely advice on how Democrats can win in rural areas--just show up and talk with the people living there. They want the same things as those living in urban areas. The words used may be different but they mean the same things. I liked how the other side of the Keystone XL pipeline was presented. Mainstream media demonized the farmers, ranchers, and Native Americans for standing up to the Big Oil corporations but the urban dweller want the same things as the rural person--clean air, clean water, food without all the processing, raising their children to carry on the legacy passed down from generation to generation, dignity, a living wage, safety from the big corporations. This was easy to read and laid out in clear terms what needs to be done. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: From Democratic Party rising star Jane Kleeb, an urgent and stirring road map showing how the Democratic Party can, and should, engage rural America In Harvest the Vote, Jane Kleeb, chair of Nebraska's Democratic Party and founder of Bold Nebraska, brings us a lively and sweeping argument for why the Democrats shouldn't turn away from rural America. As a party leader and longtime activist, Kleeb speaks from experience. She's been fighting the national party for more resources and building a grassroots movement to flex the power of a voting bloc that has long been ignored and forgotten. Kleeb persuasively argues that the hottest issues of the day can be solved hand in hand with rural people. On climate change, Kleeb shows that the vast spaces of rural America can be used to enact clean energy innovations. And issues of eminent domain and corporate overreach will galvanize unlikely alliances of family farmers, ranchers, small business owners, progressives, and tribal leaders, much as they did when she helped fight the Keystone XL pipeline. The hot-button issues of guns and abortion that the Republican Party uses to wedge voters against one another can be bridged by putting a megaphone next to issues critical to rural communities. Written with a fiery voice and commonsense solutions, Harvest the Vote is both a call to action and a much-needed balm for a highly divided nation. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
