Harvest the Vote: How Democrats Can Win Again in Rural America Audiobook (Free)

From Democratic Party growing star Jane Kleeb, an urgent and stirring street map showing how the Democratic Party can, and really should, engage rural America

The Democratic Party has lost an entire generation of rural voters. By focusing the majority of their message and assets on metropolitan and seaside voters, Democrats have sacrificed entire regions of the country where there is definitely more common floor and shared values than what shows up on the surface.

In Harvest the Vote, Jane Kleeb, chair of Nebraska’s about Harvest the Vote: How Democrats May Gain Again in Rural America Democratic Party and founder of Daring Nebraska, provides us a lively and sweeping argument for why the Democrats shouldn’t turn away from rural America. As a celebration head and longtime activist, Kleeb talks from knowledge. She’s been fighting the nationwide party to get more resources and building a grassroots motion to flex the energy of a voting bloc which has long been disregarded and forgotten.

Kleeb persuasively argues that the latest issues of the day can be fixed hand in hand with rural people. On climate change, Kleeb demonstrates the vast spaces of rural America can be used to enact clean energy enhancements. And issues of eminent domain and corporate and business overreach will galvanize improbable alliances of family members farmers, ranchers, small enterprises, progressives, and tribal market leaders, much because they do when she helped fight the Keystone XL pipeline. The hot-button issues of guns and abortion which the Republican Party uses to wedge voters against each other can be bridged by putting a megaphone next to issues crucial to rural neighborhoods.

Written having a fiery tone of voice and commonsense solutions, Harvest the Vote is usually both a proactive approach and a much-needed balm for a highly divided nation.
