It was a Saturday, about a week and a half before the midterms, and Delia Ramirez wasn’t taking any chances. The heavily Democratic 3rd Congressional District with its 40-plus percent Hispanic population was almost guaranteed to send her to Washington. But Ramirez was out knocking on doors anyway. She didn’t want to just win; she wanted to prove something.
Democrats, she believed, were losing Hispanic voters because they weren’t talking to them the right way. And that means telling working-class Latinos the party is going to fight for them against the “rigged” economic system that favors, as she puts it, “a bunch of,” or rich people.
Padilla and a dozen other Hispanic men whom Ramirez met in Addison that Saturday morning promised to vote for her. Padilla, a first-time voter naturalized in December 2021, explained to me that immigration is ultimately a pocketbook issue. “My father pays taxes,” he said. “But because of his immigration status, he cannot retire. He cannot get social security. He gets nothing.”
I love how dems rip Fox News then think politico is a ‘news’ organization.
And this why so many Latin countries fall to Socialism: pure lies about helping the “working class” and of course the “rich” vs the “poor.”
A Democrat won in leftist Chicago. Amazing
Ah, a communist.
How are the progressive policies she is espousing - minimum wage and subsidized health care different from the Democratic Party platform? She is actually much more centrist than most so-called progressives that want Govt to rain money - free Healthcare, free education, etc.
democrats are destroying this country
Dem leadership: LA LA LA WE CAN’T HEAR YOUUU
Promise free shit?
They are running to the party that hates them 😅😅😅
A progressive message? I don't think so. Latinos are smarter than that.
that's not true...more young Latinos voted Dem....
Latinos are pro life they don’t kill their babies for convenience.
Meanwhile Latinos are getting shot at the border and gop doing everything they can to keep them down poor and out. Maybe that’s why their home countries are disasters. Because they’re easily conned.
Politico believes 'Progressives' vs 'Democrats' division is the way to weaken the Democratic Party. Hence, propping up extreme left wing candidates as progressive voices, creating a false narrative of Democratic Party is doomed unless Progressives get their say, etc.
Latinos are abandoning the party because the gop is messaging directly to them. Like the dems did in 2016 to MI & WI they’ve taken for granted the voting block and assumed they would always vote dem. The gop targets media making villains of the dems and its working.
Yeah and I always thought Latinos had better sense than to vote the way they're voting. Mis hermanos let me down.
Except the VAST MAJORITY STILL vote Democrat no matter what ur editor tries get hits on……
This is not true
Who has a 'progressive message' Delia
The average Latino voter is more culturally more conservative than conservative Caucasians and Democrats pushing LGPTQ and abortions aren’t helping.
Makes total sense... Latino abandon Democratic party for Republican party... So, how we can solve the problem? By becoming more left-wing! How fcked up thinking should be to come to this conclusion?
Hum
This seems. Or to be the case?
Not this one or my entire family... We are not easily manipulated by the worst cult following LOSER party ever. Whatever latino votes red is their personal problem cuz that party truly doesnt care for us and quit believing they do... they dont. They just want our votes. Thats it
Yes it would but that would be a scam....give them your whole platform not just the manipulative econonomic one...
DeliaRamirezIL is right. It would be nice if the TheDemocrats would listen.
This article cites stats from before midterms. But during midterms the Dems held onto their latino support in most places outside Florida. And Mayra Flores lost.
A lot of them have seen communist tactics and can spot it out. Rejecting it.
Keep calling them Latinx. They LOVE that ;-)
Stop shoving LGBTQ propaganda down their throats, and start standing up against crime. Unfortunately, the Democrat party can’t do either of those things.
Or maybe Latinos are tired of Dems taxing them to pay for progressive policies that they don’t agree with. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
In florida especially
