Which reminds me, I can't really recall Bernie making a concerted effort to court latinos the way he has with college students and black voters. For example he doesn't seem to mention immigration in his stump speeches.

Latinos are overwhelmingly working class and exploited, his economic message is exactly what matters to Latinos he doesn't need to pander by talking about immigration because most Latino voters care more about their wages than they do about letting in some immigrants

When are Latinos going to apologize for colonizing south america, and murdering and enslaving the indigenous peoples?

Until they can prove that they are ashamed of their violent past and have become Progressives, we need to keep em out.

lol :rolleyes: oh yeah right of course Latinos are just going to line up and jump through whatever hoops that some Wall Street liberals erect because they are so horrified of the nightmare scenario wherein a pompous, rich, white racist man becomes the President of the United States


Don't be so drat patronizing, Latinos have been struggling and suffering in this country from the whims of wealthy white men since the very beginning, they aren't going to be scared of one rich white man enough to blindly support a rich white woman who fights for many rich white men

That's why they'd vote against trump.

Also if you're telling people not to be patronizing try not to then make mass generalizations about an entire ethnicity and what they want. For extra irony, don't use the word 'dichotomous' when presenting a false dichotomy.

Trump will argue that as a successful billionaire job creator, he is the best person to vote for if you want economic growth. He will say Clinton works for Wall Street, not Main Street (where he plans to build a new hotel).

What part of Clinton's economic views or policies will be Obviously Better for working class families who earn less than 10% of what white families earn?

Trump will use the twisted, co-opted language of class warfare, claiming to be the job creator who Wall Street fears.

Clinton entirely avoids class arguments, and plays the " :iamafag: I don't support the working class, I support everyone!! :iamafag: " argument which really is most effective on uneducated white people.

Latinos are far more class conscious than working class whites.


So tell me, from the perspective of a poor or working class Latino family, what part of Clinton's economic message is obviously more aligned to their interests than Trumps?

That's not going to fool Latinos, or much of anyone beyond those it already has.

Better than Trump? Immigration reform, pro-labor appointees, and expanded overtime protection. I mean, those are things that are actually good that Clinton is proposing. Trump doesn't actually have an economic plan to really compare it, he just has a fantasy of massive tax cuts.

Actually, no, Clinton is criticizable because she lauds the middle class above others.

You know that 'class conscious' doesn't mean the same thing as 'having a class consciousness', right? But anyway, yes, sure, let's grant that, that'd be a reason to vote against trump.

Haha holy poo poo I just saw this. First off, while technically true, immigration is still hugely important:

And that's because immigration is not just about 'letting in some immigrants'. It is, in fact, mostly about letting people already in the US, often who have worked and sweated and bled in this country, to stay in the country. It is inescapably tied to economics, and that you don't seem to understand that is goddamn mind-boggling.

Lots of good points here, I can see Clinton locking in the Latino vote vs trump, I only hope the people are sufficiently motivated, either out of support for Clinton's economic and education policies or out of rejection of Trump's racism and clear desire to dominate people to have a high voter turn out.

I have feared Trump getting too many independent votes but I can see Clinton carrying the Latino vote against him. I do still worry about low turnout from the young, the left, or the working class.



I remember some polls that suggested Clinton could lose a general election against Rubio. While I don't think Latinos will flock to someone with an ethnic name or face, I do think that would disarm a lot of fear.


Latinos are far more critical of capitalism and supportive of "socialist" (or at least explicitly pro-working-class ) policies than average, but are also more conservative in terms of values and worldview.

I do believe Sanders could energize and mobilize the Latino vote more than Clinton, not to mention independent poor and middle class voters.

Great great. Do you understand that immigration is not 'letting in some immigrants' and trivializing it like that--and separating it from economic issues--was super-silly of you?
