Hispanic voters were supposed to be the DNC party’s future. It’s not working out that way.

Hispanic voters have some of the lowest turnouts in every election.
This was addressed even on Hispanic media outlets. It was a huge concern for Hispanic interest groups.
It's been happening for decades.
I don't understand how this is a race issue. Also a portion of Hispanics are legally white. Race can't be use to discribe this group. They are not one race and should never be described as one.
The thread is about Dems banking on uncertain voting "bloc".

All groups have low voter turnout and it needs to be addressed across the board along with voter suppression
You haven't read the thread then. I'm not the one who is trying break them down into race and etc. It's not worth the effort in this thread.
They vote overwhelmingly Dem and of course it would be great if they voted in larger numbers for Dems

Hispanics have the lowest turnout rate yet some of the most eligible voters.
They are lower than whites and blacks. That's why it's a concern.
known republican voters faking outrage
bolded should be a big concern
also what's with the known republicans in this thread with the fake outrage

The implications of this story is that the democratic strategy of trying to bring in as many people as possible from Latin America to create a so called progressive majority is stupid
It’s never said in the article but this strategy depends on black people, and it’s black people that will lose politically

I think it's only natural for dems to want court Hispanics. However, lets be honest many Hispanics do not understand American government and mid term elections. ( many Americans don't either) Many come from despots / dictatorships. They don't understand how powerful local elections are and maybe more accepting of out right corruption.
Their general lack of understanding of American white supremacy is another thing.

This is a problem for many rural communities.
No just Latino ones.
Black rural voters are being suppress in Georgia.
Native Americans in North Dakota are getting suppress
The thing is Black and Native activist groups are really pushing back. They are getting shyt done.
Hispanics activist groups need to push back
Harder. Hispanics need to speak up about their communities. 60,000 people and it's only until after the polling place was moved did the nation hear about it. The next plan of action for them is to find away to bus those people to polling places. Offer transportation.

The wages of non-Blackness: Contemporary immigrant rights and discourses of character, productivity, and value
Tamara Nopper
Tensions Journal 5, 1-25, 2011
Drawing from WEB Du Bois’ concept of the psychological wage of whiteness, this article explores how contemporary rhetoric promoted by immigrant rights advocates in the United States valorizes non-white immigrant workers in relationship to African Americans. Specifically, I examine moralized claims regarding immigrants’ character, productivity, and value as well as their contributions to the US and global economy. I emphasize how this discourse echoes and draws upon managerial and capitalist perspectives of labor as well as anti-Black rhetoric regarding African Americans as lacking a work ethic, militant, xenophobic, and costly to society. Finally, I briefly consider whether the wage of non-Blackness differs from the wage of whiteness as well as the possibility of an ethical immigrant rights discourse.
Makes great points. Can't calm racism when your advocacy is rooted in Anti blackness. They do position them self as the remedy or solution to black "laziness"
@Robbie3000 this somewhat addressed your question on how Latino votes can be racially motivated.

They are cacs. They are using a form of Latin American white supremacy.
What many white Latin American elite governments did to curb black and Indigenous empowerment was promote their nation as "multi cultural" racial societies. Everyone is "black" or "Indian" so we are not racist. Meanwhile, their is barely any black representation In Latin American governments and Latino /American interest groups . Their governments firmly oppose reparations and Affirmative Action.
The black people live in "Jim crow" like segragretion. There are barely any civil rights laws that protect black citizen from being discriminated against in Latin American. African immigrants in Latin American have a very hard time. Black people are in a state of constant forced invisibility and third class citizenship.
People aren't hip to the Latin American con game.

There is no hand waving it’s just plain facts
What you are experienced right now is cognitive dissonance as facts show that what you believe is in fact bullshyt
You are the victim tho, you have been bamboozled by white liberalism with this notion that if the us let’s in 20 million people from countries that have been practicing anti black racism for 500 years that it will improve the lives of black people and it will make the us “progressive”
The historical facts and rudementary geopolitical analyses easily shows that your beliefs are bullshyt
