The Democratic party didn’t just turn socially liberal this election cycle. The culture war isn’t a new phenomenon and yet the Latino vote has heavily favored Democrats all this time. Everyone pretends Latinos are a monolith. Some care about culture war, some care about immigrants, and some care about economics.
Sure, but the entire premise of articles such as these is that they put the latinx vote in a box with political candidates just having to fly around pushing the right buttons to get it.
The problem here is that the GOP discovered this isn’t the case and they can get tons of cheap votes there by just using the same messaging as they use for evangelicals, but in Spanish
Ok, so you recognize that’s wrong, but then still say they’re one unified group with a single key issue? Seems like each party is just targeting the subgroup of Latinos that are primed toward their own messaging, same as most broad groupings. There’s no “one neat trick” to win the “Latino” vote, and going around telling ‘your’ voters the things they like to hear is just doing regular old politics.
Well, maybe I should have worded it as ‘the hispanic voters they’ve lost and want to win back’.
But the whole premise in US politics to split voters into certain ethnic demographics and then push their buttons accordingly might be ethically wrong, but apparently it works very well - otherwise both parties wouldn’t be doing it.
