In battleground Wisconsin, some Latinos feel ignored by Biden

Cesar Hernandez says he has made thousands of phone calls since June urging Latinos in the battleground state of Wisconsin to support Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

It's a tough sell, admits Hernandez, especially where he lives on the South Side of Milwaukee, the heart of Wisconsin's Latino community. He said Biden's Spanish-language ads on Hulu and Facebook aren't connecting with the neighborhood's voters, many of whom would prefer a more personal touch.

"Latinos have seen almost nothing from Biden here," said Hernandez, 25, who works for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group working to mobilize Democratic voters. "There is very little enthusiasm for him."

People who know these type of voters are correct in the need for a personal touch.

It’s too late and in fact won’t help know. They will hate the late in the game effort and resent the focus on BLM Marxists.

It’s going to be a stunning rebuke from Hispanic Americans. I can feel that.

"Only Black Lives Matter, b**ch!" :)

I don't think they know yet how completely they have shot themselves in the foot with the growing Hispanic demographic. The small and loud group of fat, feminist, female, La Raza, teachers union types may still be on board, but the men? Forget it.

Well yeah. Just saw a byeDUHn/hVrris ad stating folks ‘could’ get a $15,000 credit to buy a house and if you’re a working stiff, your pay ‘could’ go up by $14,000/yr, those on SS ‘could’ see a gain of $1,300/yr, those with kids ‘could’ see a $7,000 tax credit, etc., etc.,. Didn’t see anything about them hispanic folks though. Oh, and tax the crap out of big corporations and all the little guys ‘could’ benefit from that. Try to buy votes much there rip van byeDUHn?

“On Sept. 26, Todos con Biden, a national coalition of Latino organizers and volunteers working to elect Biden, held its first outdoor event in Wisconsin. At a park on Milwaukee’s South Side, it handed out 500 campaign yard signs.”

When I first read this I thought it said Tacos con Biden. Tacos with Biden.

I have seen that ad a few times. There’s no reason to believe it. It’s even less specific or promising than most such ads. Ridiculously suspect. It’ll sway some I am sure.

“reflecting what some call an “enthusiasm gap” for Biden among Latinos nationwide that has been noted by pollsters and analysts.”

ROTFOLOL!

that “enthusiasm gap” exists across ALL groups, so Latinos are pretty much like everyone else when it comes to lack of enthusiasm ...

“Some said he ... seemed more focused on Black voters and their concerns about social justice.”

that’s the problem with pandering almost exclusively to a single minority group: ALL the other groups feel left out ...

while Trump’s campaign has various outreach efforts, Trump himself pretty much has the exact same speech, regardless of what group he’s talking too ...

“Biden’s team has stuck to a mostly virtual campaign; plans for a campaign office in Milwaukee’s South Side were scrapped, said Darryl Morin, a Biden campaign volunteer focused on turning out Latino voters.”

“Trump’s Wisconsin team, meanwhile, has continued door-to-door campaigning and in-person outreach, a strategy that Morin said resonates with Latino voters.”

“I completely get why people feel there has been a lack of presence” from Biden’s campaign, Morin said. “Sometimes it’s frustrating the degree we are having to limit the operations. Only one side is continuing to go out in person - the Trump campaign.”

yeah, no shite sherlock ... i laughed my ass off when the biden campaign announced months ago that they had eschewed having a ground game in favor of all-digital and all-virtual campaigning ...

“Trump’s anti-immigrant policies and harsh rhetoric about migrants are widely unpopular with Latinos.”

a complete lie ... but i hope they keep believing that ...
