You know where this misconception comes from? That fact that there are more people in the major West Coast and East Coast cities than all of middle America. At the end of the day, screw what you want. HAHA. Just kidding, but no, we do care about you. You're just a very tiny voice. In actually, Democrats do care about middle America, although those states have often leaned Republican, so not as much effort is put into them. That's understandable. It's like complaining that Republicans don't care about California. They don't. Both statements are just about as true.
Misconceptions are always going to happen. Middle America has their own stereotypes, just like everywhere else. We could all use to take some time to reflect on the stereotypes about us so we can see if they hold any truth. If they do, we can work to fix them in ourselves. Sound like a plan?
