This is how little people actually understand about West Virginia. Coal is not nearly as dominating of a force as it used to be. It’s all natural gas now, and even that’s going to dry up eventually.
It’s why now more than ever we need Democrats to focus on it and have strong progressive economics to back it up. You can’t just let a state wither because it’s politically irrelevant, that just leads to it forever being politically irrelevant.
It’s also worth noting that Democrats have a mandate to do the right thing, whether it’s politically relevant or not.
