I work for an organization in south central PA covering 10 counties. I bet there is only one or two of those counties that has a democratic office. The votes in just these 10 counties wiped out the gains in Allegheny County(Pittsburgh). As Obama said you have to lose those counties by smaller margins, where Hillary did much worse than Obama and Harris did worse than Biden. We have to start having a presence and talking to people in rural counties. If not, enjoy losing them by 70-30 plus and being in the minority where your only power is the filibuster. In 2008 we had a county office, no more.
