The Hispanic vote is not nearly as important to Dems as the black vote with 55% of Hispanics in 3 states and only eight states having a Hispanic population of over one million.Bidens 60% approval rating with blacks is a far bigger problem.He fucked them on police reform so they will be staying home in 2024 in even bigger numbers than they did Hillary.
If they stay home in 2024, it will be for other reasons.
----------
As the Democrats’ chief negotiator, Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), has made abundantly clear —
to the point of hamming it up on the Senate floor — Democrats are not seeking to “defund the police,” despite what Fox News may be telling its viewers. Last month, in passing a $3.5 trillion budget resolution, Senate Democrats voted unanimously for a Republican amendment to slash federal funds for any municipality that defunds its police department. This is not a real issue, and Scott knows it.
Regardless, the Republicans will take over both branches in the mid-terms and they will not defund the police. Once again, people regardless of Blacks, Hispanics, Indigenous, or any other person of color will look to other issues (e.g. inflation, baby formula, rising gas prices, crippling student loans, anti-contraceptive/anti-abortion laws, failed gun laws, rising crime) considering both the Republicans and Democrats are
not interested in defunding the police.
Most people regardless of race are more concerned about rising costs of living (e.g. inflation, gas, groceries) than defund the police although police brutality is what gets people out to protest although abortion issues can get just as many people out in the streets to protest too.
We still two years out...lots of things can happen. Also we still dont know who the GOP is going to put forth as their candidate.
Historically or statistically, the Democrats should lose the mid-terms even if the above problems that I mentioned to Tony Stark...were not occurring.
Yet, as you stated, a lot of things or changes can occur within the next two years considering the
elephant in the room is still Donald Trump.
- Voters will not forget nor be able to ignore the elephant in the room and its imprints in America...racism, bigotry, white supremacy, and xenophobia that still are prevalent and growing in America as recently shown in Buffalo.
He's desperate, his supporters are desperate...trying to be heard again and getting the right people in place that will allow the above to occur considering they do understand that America is growing fast from within the population of
people of color and as they gain more political power.
Reminder, Biden won 81 million votes while Trump won
74 million votes...the latter has a lot of followers that believe or will pretend racism, bigotry, white supremacy and xenophobia is not a problem.
- It's the poltergeist (the foundation) of the Civil War in America that many continue forgetting and underestimating the threat such as preventing the growth in those that can make a difference in the vote...people of color.
Personally, I will side with those
against racism, bigotry, white supremacy, and xenophobia because those ideologies are
not the path to making America great again.
Regardless, we have a much bigger concern beyond our borders and that is the
Russia/Ukraine War especially if it spreads to other countries and we react the same way we initially did with Hitler and his Nazism by allowing the spread before acting against it...
Only one party can lead against it while the other party still caters to the elephant in the room that supports Putin. The good news, is we got rid of Trump out of the oval office although he lurks in Florida like the
swamp thing and we have Covid under control but at a great expense.
