(Why) Are Democrats Losing the Latino Vote?

[Payday23]

is this helping?



are religious hispanics expected to conform to this as democrats?

No. These people need to be shunned. Stop this BS with kids

The solution is to obviously allow more to come illegally. Surely that will change things.

The responses in this thread are on point

Basically, most of them view themselves as white, and they are socially conservative

I also want to add that focusing on immigration and undocumented immigrants does not garner as much appeal among Latinos as Dems think it does

last part more important. They’re trying to garner votes from people who can vote by appealing to only people who can’t vote. Bunch of morons.

It's not just that. It's also that they assume that legal Latinos give a damn about undocumented Latinos. In many cases, I've observed that they dislike them just as much as whites do.

I’m from Texas. I’m Mexican American. My immediate family are all dems, and vote straight blue, whereas I’m far more radical in my line of thinking. The number one reason why Mexicans go for trump is due to the oil and gas industry and the mistaken belief that renewable energy would crush their livelihood.

But this is not to say that there aren’t outliers. Some of these motherfukkers might as well be white, and I have nothing but contempt for any darker complexioned individual that chooses to uphold republican tyranny in any form.

however, tejanos have had a very complicated history in this state. It was just far easier to bury and ignore than black Texan history.

There isnt a one magic bullet solution to this, but the Dems aren't interested in doing leg work to learn and listen. It is what it is at this point, we are moonwalking into fascism.

Alot of latinos are hardcore catholics/christians, they not fukking with the pro LGTBQ+ shyt, plain and simple.

 

[Sohh_lifted]

They dont advertise themselves as the party of Pro gay/trans like Dems do.

 

[Sohh_lifted]

They want to be white. Let it go.

did you have an explanation yourself that i missed?

because this is too fukkin accurate

What’s the first thing the average person on the street thinks when you ask them what do democrats stand for? Exactly.

Dems have a branding issue like it or not, put all these fakkits back in the closet and start talking bread and butter issues and stay focused on healthcare, economy and yes doing something about immigration.

68% of non Cuban Latinos consider themselves dem/ lean dem.

There's plenty of data speaking on the phenomenon, but one major factor is that Cuban Americans (are more conservative than other Latinos) and vote at a much higher clip.

Most of the stuff y'all are talking about isn't even registering like you think.

The long story short is Latino inroads by Republicans is likely overstated.

Have Latinos Really Moved Toward The Republican Party?

The analysis from the Latino-focused research outfit pointed to Latino approval of Trump’s economic policies as a key factor that helped Trump win over Latino voters worried about how COVID-19 would impact the economy. And because concerns about COVID-19 and the economy dominated the spotlight, immigration issues that might have kept some Latinos from backing Trump became less salient. That was important because Trump’s anti-immigration and anti-Latino rhetoric had kept some more conservative-leaning Latinos from voting for him in 2016, but with immigration pushed to the background in 2020, these voters now felt more comfortable casting a ballot for Trump.

Dem to repub shifting Latinos seemingly had concerns over the economy but were turned off to an extent over dem ties to socialism. Similarly, defund the police chants were one sided pitch against dems that swayed the law and order crowd:

Among “LatAm” voters in South Florida (those of Colombian, Nicaraguan, Dominican, Mexican and Venezuelan descent, among others), we found that concern over Democrats embracing socialism was a significant predictor of the Trump vote. The Miami LatAms shifted even more than the Cubans (we’ve previously talked about what happened with a segment of the Cuban-American electorate that voted at high levels for Obama). The highly developed media ecosystem in Miami is a factor there.
The story in South Texas: Republicans owned the border issue. Immigration didn’t stand out elsewhere in the country, but, in Texas, views on Trump’s immigration agenda powerfully sorted Hispanic independents between the two presidential candidates. The effect of immigration was strongest along the border, where it centered quite naturally on the highly salient issue of border security. While Trump didn’t directly campaign in the Rio Grande Valley or the border, he and his surrogates frequented it often as part of his “law and order” pitch.

Nothing about gays and trannies are listed as significant motivators
