Well, sort of. It's a giant ball of stupid to think what works in NYC will automatically work in any of the flyover states. If you come to the South and tell people you'll make their lives better, they'll hate you for it on principle. I do not think running a socialist ticket in Tennessee or Texas or even Iowa and Utah is going to work. We might find that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work, which is why the Republicans haven't been doing that in the decades they've been dominating and stealing.
That's true, but it's also slightly too specific. The point is that the right social programs matter. Create them and you can get votes, if you do it right... Or, do whatever Hillary was trying to do, and get nothing.
conservatives have always been on WELFARE programs, but they dont see it that way, thats the problem.
