The other thing that I hate about those articles are that they always complain about green energy or tans rights or whatever topic is deemed as "off putting" to Latinos as if the Democratic party makes anything more than the shittiest and minimal efforts to defend those issues in the national space. It's always some dumb cliche about how the party can still "be about those things" just "not so much" but if the Democrats talked any less about trans rights for example THEY'D NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AT ALL.

All the national effort and messaging is about how everything got fixed and America is good now and inflation got beaten and these assholes act like Joe Biden is out there talking about trans rights and electric cars everyday

That article didn't mention trans rights anywhere I saw, but had a ton of references to racial equity which did make me wonder if Dem messaging on racial equity in southern states ever includes Hispanic/Latino. Because it sure seems like it doesn't despite the prominence of people like AOC

there are some good quotes that go beyond the reflexive "we gotta get more conservative":

quote:

“The past few years, our young people have been registering as independents. More than 50 percent of them. We have the data,” Ortega said. “These voters, the future of our community, they are abandoning us. And honestly,” he paused, with a grimace, “I don’t blame them.”

***

For too long, Ortega said, Democrats have refused to spend real time and resources in the Hispanic community, checking a box during campaign season but rarely engaging between elections. When Democrats do come calling, he said, they treat Hispanics like children: speaking in paternalistic tones about what’s good and bad for them economically; assuming simple and monolithic views on social issues; pandering shamelessly on immigration and promising sweeping reforms that never materialize.

I feel like we took very different messages away from that piece.

quote:

They are not here because the sea levels are rising, or because of social justice, or anything else. We’re out there talking about racism and the Green New Deal and defunding the police, and we’re freaking them out.”

López is a former Republican who, in the mid-1990s, became estranged from the GOP of her youth.


quote:

Garcia pointed to 2018, when Democrats nominated Andrew Gillum for governor—a candidate endorsed by Bernie Sanders. Garcia and his fellow Democrats in Miami could already recite the attacks on Gillum as a sleeper socialist....

Democrats here say the national party should have learned a hard lesson from that campaign. Instead, after 2018, the party’s ranks began to swell with influential young progressives, such as New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who championed far-left policies while openly embracing the socialist label. Moderate Democrats were reluctant to push back. It was a Republican dream come true.

quote:

Progressive policies—around climate, or guns, or even immigration—might poll well with the liberal, college-educated wing of the party. But they might also continue to alienate the working class, including the Hispanic working class, from the Democratic brand


quote:

“How do you feel,” Sarita Perales, an administrator from the local hospital, asked, “about the Biden open-border policy?”

Owens fought a smirk. “The administration will tell you that the border’s not open,” he replied, eliciting groans from the audience.

I think this is what were going to be hearing about for the next two years from the very smart adults in the room who are just having to make hard and realistic choices

ive always loved this. there's something beautiful in the logic of:

latinos won't vote for republicans who are racist, they'll be forced to vote for dems who understand and relate to them as regular people of a homogenous ethnic & cultural background and also it's Latinx



the way dems manage to be racist at the technocratic level is really something to behold

in the lead up to 2016, all of the Serious People In The Room wouldn't shut the gently caress up about blue texas and destiny demographics

oh, you were right from the jump that the story angle is about social conservatism, but as with other ways that democrats try to mirror republicans, moving right on social issues won't restore their lost hispanic votes.

I think the overarching problem is one of trust, because hispanic voters see dems only paying attention to them around election time, and have taken their votes for granted.

that's what's allowing the gop to make inroads, at the community level; they're simply paying attention to these voters & their needs.

this was what stuck out the most to me from that piece:

quote:

Days before I sat down with Garcia in Miami Beach, a poll from The New York Times and Siena College showed, for the first time in the survey’s history, that “Democrats had a larger share of support among white college graduates than among nonwhite voters.”

democrats will be a permanent rump party if this trend continues. It doesn't mean that they have to get (even more) conservative on social issues, but rather not ignore things like the humanitarian crises at the border, which is affecting hispanic communities.

In April 2014, Winfrey spoke for more than 20 minutes at a fundraiser in Arlington, Virginia, for Lavern Chatman, a candidate in a primary to nominate a Democratic Party candidate for election to the U.S. House of Representatives.
