All of whom voted for this. So.
Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? No.
It doesn’t matter what rural areas vote for. They’re all gerrymandered to shit just like the cities are.
The political elite on both sides have a good chunk of us fighting each other instead of them. So, congrats on falling for the same bullshit.
Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? No.
I’ve seen more than my share of “red” counties. They’re only gerrymandered when there’s an obvious threat to red state hegemony. Full of good people who fall for stupid lies every goddamn time despite the world of information available to them. The FoxNews miasma that hangs like suffocating humidity in every auto garage and bleak box store parking lot. The fist of Jesus in every lifted truck window.
Take your “both sides” bullshit to someone else.
Why do you think the Democratic party, once well known as the party of the working class, no longer holds that distinction?
Who says it doesn’t?
There’s your answer.
because the republican party has split the lower and middle classes with emotionally charged cultural wedge issues.
Republican (but lets be fair here, most) states basically just threw their hands up and left it up to the “experts” (or their friends in the cable/local phone monopoly) for planning BEAD funds. Really it’s a failure of American politics and a case study on how baseline corrupt the average state is.
The only place that has actually gotten its shit together is, of all places, North Dakota, they have almost universal fiber access across the whole state, if you have power, you probably have fiber. All of contiguous America could have the same, only politics stands in the way.
Utah has also built out locally owned open-access municipal fiber, despite the best attempts from the Comcast/CenturyLink lobby and state legislature to kill it; among other projects in WA, TN, IA.

There isn’t a single county in this country that votes 100% in either direction. So saying that “All of whom voted for this.” is objectively incorrect.

Well, except for New York’s Rockdale County which is the subject of a lawsuit recently in the news - fair enough.
I yield to the overwhelming logic that a vast oversimplification may not be 100% correct.
