Democrats Borrow Castro Slogan for Their Outreach to Latino Voters
PJ Media ^ | 05/14/2022 | Chris Queen

It’s no secret that the Democrats are in trouble with Latino voters in the run-up to the midterm elections. Polling from last month showed that the president’s approval ratings are at their lowest among Hispanic voters. The Democrats’ border crisis, their leftward shift on cultural issues, and the economy have all prompted Latino voters to break toward the GOP.

The Democrats are aware of their issues with Latinos, and they’ve launched a new strategy to reach them. There’s one problem: the slogan.

This new initiative to reach out to Spanish-speaking voters uses the slogan “Adelante,” which means “onward” or “forward.” Now, a Spanish word shouldn’t be an issue in and of itself, but when that word carries an association with Fidel Castro and Cuba’s communists, it becomes loaded with baggage.

Did the dems borrow it from Castro or did Castro borrow it from the dems?

I saw one of their ads recently. They had a woman with a strong accent promoting an endangered congressman’s reelection. The thing is it is third generation and beyond that the Democrats are losing. They speak English with native Texan accents.

That’s what they believe in and are.

What about

¡Arriba America!

Knowing the genial translators employed by the Democrats, maybe that would be fitting???

Socialism is seductive. All it takes is a silver tongue like Castro. We had BJ and Barak. It’s the ‘it’ factor. Good looks + nice hair help but aren’t enough. Think John Edwards, and Gary Hartpence. Can’t see any others on the horizon on the rat side.

Just like the slogan for Obama’s second term campaign. They really can’t help themselves.

Commies.

The sad part is that some people fall for this kind of junk.

Thanks for posting this reality. The on line liberals don't mention this dire reality link to Castro in their definition of Adelante!:

Not long ago a a cargo ship called Ever Forward ran aground and one commentator said maybe they should change her name to Usually Forward.

Long used by socialists. Yiddish-speaking socialists used ‘Forverts’. Still used by American Jewish socialists for their mouthpiece ‘The Forward’.

You’d think the idiots would do a little research before settling on a slogan. And these democrats think they can run the world?

As I recall from listening to Radio Havana, that is the name of a revolutionary march.
