      We cant split hairs on demographic turnout if overall turnout is way down from 2020, I mean we can make Latinos a scapegoat, but again we’re completely subverting critique that could actually help win an election.

          The fact is those margins in the Hispanic community would barely make a dent on overall turnout? Hence, scapegoating.

            If every white and hispanic man who voted for biden also voted for harris then she would have won

            Acknowledging reality is not scapegoating

              7,000,000 less votes than Biden has is beyond any single percent margin in minority populations. Even if… what are you going to do? Harp on said demographics foe making the wrong choice for 4 years? Self righteousness ain’t gonna solve the lost vote. Ask why things happen once in a while.
