Democrats are trying to figure out how to win over Latino voters in upcoming 2022 and 2024 elections. Latinos helped propel Joe Biden to win traditionally conservative Arizona, but elsewhere more Latino people voted for President Trump than expected.

, including areas of Florida and Texas. Although Latinos likely helped propel Biden to the presidency, it was a lesson in the limits of the party’s grip on an increasingly diverse segment of voters.

Super PACs that target Latino voters are also crucial, Rocha said, adding that his, Nuestro PAC, spent $4 million in ads in Arizona starting the last week of June, but that such spending is rare. “If you’re relying on a bunch of white consultants to Google-Translate you an ad and put it on Univision, that’s not a winning strategy,” Rocha said.

“The parties know what they need to do, they’re just not doing it. They have outdated strategies,” he said. “The Latino electorate is incredibly young. In order to connect with them, they need to modernize civic engagement, and that requires an investment... What we’ve seen is that Latinos are an afterthought.”

All People Of Color in the USA are mistreated by Republicans & trump. Republicans never do anything for working Americans no matter their Color or Race. Repubs believe wealthy will trickle down some money & goodness to workers. It is so funny POC do not know; GOPs do nothing!

Biden and administration can start by having real conversations with Latino leaders from every nationality represented by the latino voter.

Both Democrats and Republicans need to clean out their old, geriatric, wealthy leadership that has been in power for decades, and install a younger generation in touch with the needs of the 21st century and beyond -- a new system for the good of all!

John McCain flipped Arizona

just ask bernie

The only thing Democrats offer is welfare and poverty.

Sanders did well with latino's, maybe ask him.

Win them over? I think you mean brainwash them into believing democrats lies?

Start by telling them the truth...👀

Democrats assume that minorities are with them on all policies. But there are conservative Blacks and Latinos who have basic moral beliefs that are being ignored by Democrats.

Stop telling exiles from Cuba and Venezuela that socialism is the way.

Anyone who voted republican can kiss my ass especially if they voted for trump. Who represents a culture of racism to my people!

Cubans in Miami and Mexican’s in Arizona are not the same. Latinos are NOT monolithic. That’s how you start.

By playing Despacito on your phone.

No one promotes socialism. Social programs for the people by the people. If they are stupid enough to vote for trump who is a fuckin dictator they need to go the fuck back where they came from. My people blood have been spilled over this racist society.we have been victimized.

Stop say things like they are stealing our jobs.and all brown people are terrorists and go back to your country. It's enough!

Easy, just play desposito on an iPhone at the speech. If they don’t like that, then they ain’t Latino.

Maybe they should start dragging them to the mud, treat them less than human like trump does.

Fuck 'em, if they still choose to vote Republican

It's pretty simple, hard-working prior don't like handouts, and they don't like giving away their hard earned money without ac say in it.

a vote for don is a vote for communist pigs

Biden doesn’t particularly remind me of Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez. But I am exposed to different news and opinion.

Democrats, party of the rope.

I hope they fail. I want to own that country.

The first thing Progress 62 is doing in TN62 is speak with local Hispanic workers at Tysons foods/others. Talk about jobs, working conditions, pay, health benefits, how COVID has affected them. What will make it better including the local housing situation. Espanol 2

Working in Silicon Valley and I see the parallels in government are uncanny 1)Latinos are far from being the same 2)You don’t know what the differences are because you don’t have enough representation working with you 3)They are easily ignored and grouped with other ethnicity’s

break it down by race & nationality. Also not all of us speak Spanish (& of those that do there’s major diff. in dialect) so if they think by simply doing an ad or 2 in spanish is gonna cut it-they’re sadly mistaken

Because 'Latinos' are not one homogenized mass of people...for instance Cubans and Mexicans and Columbians VERY different...lumping them all together is a very big mistake, politically or otherwise..

joebidencheated

Can we just deal with one election at a time 🙄

Arizona May be an aberration because of Sheriff Arpaio of Maricopa county persecution of ethnic groups & Trump’s Pardon. Latinos that are Citizens have come to love our country enough to avoid the Country’s Destruction Democratic Agenda.

Step one: realize that we come from 30+ countries and would rather be viewed as such

Start by telling Obama to stfp, and I’m not Latino. I’m glad how most Latinos do like America and do believe in, and live the American dream. That’s all counter to the Dem message so Dems have a huge problem

Perhaps, it would be a good idea to not try to get ALL latino people. Latinos have their own share of racist a-holes and crazy Uber Christians who think a high-five is a sin. Let's give our attention to those who want better healthcare, safer streets, and civil rights for all.

Simple. Rig the elections again.

PEOPLE RIOT AND BURN DOWN CITIES WHEN A COP KILLS SOMEONE, BUT WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKES YOUR JOBS AND OFFERS NO RELIEF AND STARVES THE ENTIRE NATION, NOBODY EVEN PROTESTS....PATHETIC! TIME TO UNITE!

1) Stop showing up at the last minute looking for votes & employ genuine year round outreach; 2) More Latinx in leadership; 3) Message & action - promote the things you stand for/will fight for & prove how they r beneficial to Latinx communities; 4) Control the narrative.

Just stop calling them 'Latinex' and using the word Socialism for your policies

Tell them they are not white 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️ and Republican policies are detrimental to Latinos.

MrFraudenYouLost

One suggestion would be to not go so far left with their ideas.

Start by realizing that no matter what the ethnic group is - they should all be important other than just during the election cycles of two and four years!!!

That’s because what the media and the country calls “Latinos”, is just a blanket word”. Everyone needs to realize that “Latinos” in the West are far different than the ones on the East with different cultures and ancestry.

Drop socialism and thrill come back. It's pretty bloody simple.

Latinxs, especially immigrants, try to 'fit in' as a survival mechanism in the societies they live in. They're going to support a 'Red' agenda if the state is 'Red.' If they live in Seattle they support the people's agenda there. It's no different from how non-Latinx function.

Maybe better education.

Stop pushing socialism.

Waste of time. Anyone who voted for 🤡 after what we’ve seen the past four years is beyond redemption. I would target younger voters, specifically those turning 18 soon.

1/ As a Latino voter (Cuban-American in my case) I have to tell you we are not all the same. I know caucasians have a tendency to view Hispanics as a monolithic voting block but that is incorrect.

Probably because of that embarrassing Despacito bs ... pandering and all.

Why do everyone dump all latino's into one basket? Do we lump all Europeans into one? South Americans, Central Americans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans have different cultures & value different things. Hispanics are not ALL THE SAME, that's a bigoted stereotype.

is fake

Buy them like he did the black peoples who voted for him.

Is it latinos en general or the ones coming from Cuba & Venezuela!? Bolsonaro supporters living here, Brazilians, all for trump. They are afraid of AOC, B Sanders and progressives in general. Dem must tone down the progressive msg, be more moderate to reach those voters.

🤣 🤣 🤣 at the MSM pretending Joe Biden actually won.

Good luck. 🤣

It's about religion, Latin America has strong Catholicism, always had. The abortion issue is a problem.

Am I being Punished!!!!I am needing a Miracle!!!😥😥😪

First acknowledge that you can be a latino Democrat or a latino Republican. Being a latino does not define how you think politically

Easy. Dominion

ABC Always Be Campaigning

Here's an idea. Ask Latins directly for input. LaLiga VoteRick2021 cmenchaca CarlinaRivera

A good friend suggested fleeing from communism, dictatorship, trump and other nations global autocratic march and dream, is comfortable, what they know. She called it their 'sickness'.

No need to waste time on Cubans and Venezuelans because they believe conservative propaganda and will always vote for Republicans. Asians are the fastest growing voting group this cycle. Dems should try to incorporate Asians into their corr coalition instead.

Maybe the uneducated white male vote and the male Hispanic vote (in agricultural areas) have a lot in common? Both are exploited by the very politicians and pundits they listen to.

They can start by not thinking all latinos are the same, we are all not mexicans. Cubans dont share the same interests as puertoricans, mexicans, dominicans, venezuelans, etc...we are not generic!

Drop 'Latinx' for starters. 😂

I don't understand how 1 person voted for a megalomaniac, narcissistic, racist liar

Maybe they should just call everyone racists. They’ll work 🤦🏼‍♂️

Completely change their anti-American platform. People don't come here to dragged into tyrannical socialism. They want liberties & freedom. Not a nanny state with degenerates deciding their lives.

The Democrats need to use horse sense as my father used to say. Stop being such damn snowflakes. It causes us in the middle to say thanks but no thanks. Stop trying to make a revolution happen. Show restraint. Understand America.

Only because they were scared not to. That will change.

Alert: NOT TRUE ! Transition is first on the Democratic Agenda🛑

Here in Midland Texas the Latino community is very conservative. The uneducated Latino women don’t vote. They believe it is a man’s job. The uneducated men vote anti abortion. They also have racial tensions with the black community. I ran here as a Democrat.

Here's an idea, focus on policies that help Latinos!

In other words president Trump won the Latino vote!

Most legal latino immigrants that I have spoken to do not identify with efforts to legitimize illegal immigrants. They identify as working class Americans, which is as it should be. So pitch policies to the working class, not ethnic subsets of the working class.

Trump got 32 percent of the Latino vote. The media is acting like he won.

Make taco Tuesday a National holiday

Keep using the term, 'Latinx.' Please, I'm begging you. The Hispanics I know absolutely love that term.

Best strategy? Everything should be free! We should not have to work. The government should take care of all our needs and wants. Tax rich to make them poor! Everyone equal.

In Texas, Joe made a big mistake by saying he would defund the oil and gas industry. In Florida, Trump was successful because he framed Joe as a socialist - many Cubans fled that life.

Don't waste your time, anyone who voted for Trump is a lost cause.

They should try to TakeCareOfThePeople with a BasicIncome. You know, directly impact their lives in a good meaningful way.

that bunch of rapists and murderers?

Spanish language outreach. It's a travesty that wasn't started earlier.

Has anyone contacted Jennifer Lopez?

Paying attention to Latino voters outside of an election cycle might be a good start.

Total BullShit article....

Give us policies instead of meaningless platitudes, it’s pretty simple

I have an idea: Quit promoting socialism.
