Is the DNC still not giving any money to smaller races "that are lost anyway because of dumb hicks" or whatever?

They always bemoan how they're not popular in the south east, but have they tried, I don't know, help those people so they win more?

I guess calling them idiots and making fun of their (non bigoted) political needs, while painting them all with a broad brush is how you win people over.

Too bad there isn't a precedent set of a party completely flipping the entire US southeast in modern history, otherwise they would have to consider it something within the realm of possibility and have to believe in themselves.

yeah it's not like that happened in living memory of 1/6th of americans and the majority of people in congress or anything. That'd be crazy.
