A roundup of editorials from the left.

1. Progressives point the way to recapturing the rural vote

From Washington Post:  "So how can Democrats win in places where voters believe the party has written them off? According to Maxmin, they need to do more to "translate progressive values to the realities of rural America."

2. A Tool of Autocrats

From The New York Times: "top Republicans don't seem to be willing to take their chances. They'd rather win unfairly than lose fairly — which is, again, the kind of decision that autocrats make."

3. Amazon and America's Real Divide

From  The American Prospect: "So as the American middle class disappears, the two groups falling perilously behind are white, rural, non-college Tumpsters, and the urban poor. It's not Amazon's business to know or care. That falls to the rest of us."
