***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I think the economy/inflation is the main driver but also the Latino demographic tends to, as a whole, be more religious (so less likely to support LGBTQ and abortion rights).

Maybe they can ask how that whole "Jews for Nazis" thing worked out. Oh, wait, they were exterminated. They literally voted for someone who is going to deport them, and now without question.
 
Fact number 1: Kamala was always a bad candidate. She got less support than two mayors in 2020 and one of them was an unknown gay guy. Hilary lost in 2016 and Kamala is less likable, associated with an unpopular Biden, and black.

Fact number 2: Americans are swinging right, alarmingly, young Americans are also swinging right. I suspect the gender achievement gap plays a larger role than pundits like to admit. I also think our collective sense of decency and reason has Significantly deteriorated.

I do think a different, stronger candidate could have beaten Trump, but the fact that he could win at all is damming, even more so than 2016.

Latinos are more complex than mainstream America thinks. Not every Latino is an immigrant of truly connected to their forefathers culture. Different racially, culturally, economically. Even how we speak Spanish is different. The histories of our countries are different.

THE GUY THEY ARE VOTING FOR HATES THEM AND WANTS TO SEND THEM BACK BECAUSE HE IS A RACIST *******. There's no "complexity" to it. All brown people must go, under his watch.
 

Biggest unforced error for me from Kamala :{

Had room for everyone and their republican mother in the 'big tent' but the very large numbers in the base outraged by what's going on over there under a Dem admin.

No surprise the folks most directly impacted by it didn't take the all the slights lightly on the ballot box.

They really brought out Bill's carcass and Ritchie Torres to energize the vote over there...
 
you can say this if you want, but Trump is doing better with blacks, Latinos, he's gonna do better with black voters than any republican since like Nixon.

doing the american is so racist thing is just mega cope.

Uh yeah, those two groups are some of the most sexist (“machismo”). How do you not know this?

No wonder America has such an individualistic attitude. Me first, I had nothing, and all that rhetoric.
Similarly, in other immigrant communities they really think they better than the ones who are trying to come up like them :smh:. Yall from the same land.

I’ll never understand this mentality.. but then again, that’s probably why I never joined a frat or now that I’m older I’d never join the lodge or some sh

I’m not going go through some shh and then turn around and get joy because it’s my chance to now do it to others

You don’t get it. A lot of Latinos see themselves as White (or are White). A lot of Latinos are several generations in the US. Probably don’t even speak Spanish, have any real connection to their culture. A lot of them hear the rhetoric and think “He’s not talking about me”, “I’m not an immigrant, my parents aren’t immigrants”. Latinos aren’t all Brown- many are White, many are Black, there are even Asian Latinos. Latin America is more complicated than politicians think. More nuanced.

Or Trump was just a generational candidate like Obama was. Which is hard to accept :lol I still don't see how the GOP continues on when he drops dead.
