Urban vs. Rural: The Political Divide

This chapter examines the deep political rift between urban and rural areas, emphasizing cities as key economic drivers while challenging the notion that rural America embodies 'real America.' It critiques past Democratic strategies aimed at appealing to rural voters and advocates for a recognition of the party's urban-centric base. The speakers call for a unified urbanist identity to counter negative stereotypes and acknowledge the significant contributions cities make to the broader national landscape.
