Here is the Nugget for the Democrat “leadership” - Without building a long-term, permanent working-class agenda that delivers results, you're risking losing it all again.
A great read. As a second generation Puerto Rican, I’ve always thought the “Hispanics vote on racial issues” idea that the Democratic Party followed was deeply flawed and in some way, reductionist, even borderline condescending and racist to a degree.
‘It's common sense to me that Latinos were not happy with Biden's economy (they had good reason not to be)’
What were they disappointed about? It was the envy of the world according to experts. Were people actually stupid enough to think he could make it better?
Plus Trump will be President for another 40 months so what they feel right now is irrelevant. This article is asinine.
I asked you why the Latinos had good reason to be upset with the Biden economy. You made it seem like it was an obvious position. All Republicans say the same but no one will say why. It was better by any and all measures to the previous Trump presidency. That is indisputable.
And I pointed out he still has a lot of time left in his term, so what they feel now is quite irrelevant.
Where is the tone deafness? We don’t lose elections because we are tone deaf, we lose them because of the depravity of the Republican voter.
I’ve spent thirty years writing on this question. I published a book about it last June. Most of my Substack focus on it.
You show up like an old entitled condescending smart ass who isn’t served what he wants when he wants it and you start throwing out terms like ‘asinine’.
You lose elections because you’re an old entitled out of touch fool who expects minorities to behave the way you’ve figured out is best for them.
How in the WORLD did any Latino voter think that Fat Donnie gave a SHIT about them? On the contrary, he campaigned on the notion that Mexico was invading the US, that those coming here were murders and rapists, that we needed to build a giant, fucking 1,700-mile wall to keep them out, etc. In other words, he ran an explicitly racist campaign that was especially hostile to Latinos. And he ended up with most of their vote.
Unfortunately, whether Latino support or don’t support Donald Trump no longer matters. They supported him when it mattered… When it was time to vote. And now he’s ours. We need to figure out a way to get him out one way or another. We need to stop trying to teach him, stop trying to get answers from him about how he’s making mistakes. He’s doing exactly what he wants to do. He’s not interested in learning how wrong it is! Just get him out. Stop all the talking and get him out. Then put all of his cabinet members behind bars for their conspiratorial criminal behavior
I'm finding it difficult locally to get folks to focus on the economy. Liberals continue to veer off into every issue one can think of (including impeachment 🙄), all of which fall under the umbrella of democracy, except the economy. I'm a working class person. I make $200.00 less than the median salary in my town. Rents, never mind owning, just out of reach. At my town committee meetings, I feel like I'm the only one talking about the economy & the working class - veterans, unions, nursing assistants, LPN's (me), volunteer firefighters, agriculture, etc. Unless Democrats do something dramatically different, I fear for 2026. Democracy cannot afford, literally, another loss.
All I have to say is that for all those Hispanics, so called Mexican Americans who voted for this fucked up fucking idiot. This is what you get for giving him your trust your hand and your vote for thinking he was going to help you out.
He lied to you and now you want out of his bullying and BULLSHIT. And for those who own a tesla you are all #FUCKTRUMP voters.
As a Hispanic I don’t feel any petty for these Latinos. You get what you give. If they’re pissed now wait until their family members start being deported because of their vote. They literally threw themselves and their family to the fire 🔥.

I hope the dems take advantage of this. They need to act quickly with a sustained effort. I’d loved to see some some urgency!

Thanks for the feedback. Every time you lose an election please refer back to this article as a reminder of how tone deaf you are.

You’re the ass here. That’s why you lose.

I'll never understand it as long as I live.
If you reread what Mike Madrid wrote above, maybe it'll become clearer.
but firstly the dems have to decide who and what they are
