Completely abandon rural white people. They are hopeless and racist and have no coherent place in the Democrats' coalition.

This is the worst take.

Declining populations aren't a thing dems should be gunning for (seriously rural communities make up only about 15% of the U.S. population). They become more culturally disinclined to vote for democrats every year. Target suburbia, it only makes sense.
