Biden organizers say campaign is 'suppressing the Hispanic vote' in Florida, mistreating staff
The Hill ^ | 07 25 2020 | J. Edward Moreno

Posted on 07/25/2020 3:04:41 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

A group of 94 field organizers for former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign sent a letter to the Democratic National Convention claiming the Biden campaign is “suppressing the Hispanic vote” in Central Florida and mistreating staff.

The letter, which was obtained by the Miami Herald Saturday, alleges that the Biden campaign mistreated field organizers and relocated trained staff members without adequate explanation.

A handful of Puerto Rican, Spanish-speaking organizers were moved from a heavily Puerto Rican part of Florida to north Florida against their wishes, the group alleges.

“The [Coordinated Campaign of Florida] is suppressing the Hispanic vote by removing Spanish-speaking organizers from Central Florida without explanation, which fails to confront a system of white-dominated politics we are supposed to be working against as organizers of a progressive party,” the letter reads, according to the Herald.

Lots of Puerto Ricans have moved to Florida in the last few years.

Reading the story it seems like some Hispanic staffers were unhappy for being transferred without an “adequate explanation”.

Spoiled libs bitching for the sake of bitching.

Or it could be a bunch of media BS. Who knows nowadays.

I read the headline and assumed that they were complaining about the Trump campaign.

But wait a minute. Biden staffers are complaining about racism in the Biden campaign! Now that’s interesting. Perhaps Joe should tell them that if they complain, they are not really Hispanic.

It appears that the Spanish speaking Dems want to work in the Spanish speaking neighborhoods. To my logic of birds of a feather prefer to flock together, it would make sense to have Latinos getting out the vote in a Latino area. If Biden is messing up the State of Florida for the election, then I would say, “Good for you Democrats,” Let Florida vote for Trump.

Hurrican Maria saw many Puerto Ricans evacuate to Florida. Shouldn’t they be able to home by now?

When I moved to Orlando in 1992 there wasn’t a Hispanic in sight.

By 2000 the NewYoricans started moving in.

Now they’ve taken over.

Hispanics have their OWN agenda.

Any coalition they form is for THEIR OWN interests.

They're using blacks and whites as their stepping stone.

Once they reach critical mass they're going to jettison the White man.

That would not be very sensible-since the majority of Hispanics are White/Caucasian-their ancestors came from Spain to the new world beginning in the early 16th century-we’re not a separate race, no matter how much democrats want pretend we are-and I’m pretty sure there is no push to use others of any ethnic group for stepping stones, either...

Gropin’ Joe remembers this. Well, maybe not. Could be ancient history from last week. Just forget about it. What flavor is the tapioca today?

Dems did a bang-up job during the Iowa Primary. Did they finish counting the votes, by the way?
