Biden Advisers Sound Red Alert Over Black, Latino Turnout
USSA News ^ | 10/30/2020 | Tyler Durden

Senior Biden campaign officials are 'becoming increasingly worried' over low turnout among black and latino voters in key states such as Pennsylvania and Florida, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter.

Despite record early-vote turnout around the country, there are warning signs for Biden. In Arizona, two-thirds of Latino registered voters have not yet cast a ballot. In Florida, half of Latino and Black registered voters have not yet voted but more than half of White voters have cast ballots, according to data from Catalist, a Democratic data firm. In Pennsylvania, nearly 75% of registered Black voters have not yet voted, the data shows. -Bloomberg

"I would like to see turnout increase – and yes, we need improvement," said Biden super PAC president, Steve Schale in a Tuesday blog post.

According to the report, top campaign leaders are confident that blacks and latinos will show up on election day, however some Biden advisers have expressed concerns about a lack of participation - and are urging the campaign to spend more money to target minority voters in the final stretch.

Perhaps minorities found out that Biden didn't want to raise his children in a racial jungle when he opposed desegregation?

Or that he drafted the 1994 crime bill, which sent tens of thousands of black men to prison for minor crimes, something Biden was proud of as recently as four years ago.

Or that Biden said blacks 'aren't black' if they don't vote for him.

Biden told black people who didn't support him that they were race traitors. Very uniting. Much healing. https://t.co/1kuzHpfIIC — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) October 30, 2020

Or that his 'guide and mentor' was an 'Exalted Cyclops' in the KKK (who renounced his racist ways when it became a political liability he saw the light.)

FLASHBACK: 10 years ago today Joe Biden delivered a eulogy for Senate segregationist and former KKK "Exalted Cyclops" leader Robert Byrd.

He called him a "mentor," a "guide," and a "friend."

Or that he equates being poor to being black.

Or that rapper 20 cent endorsed Trump (until his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler yanked his leash), while Lil' Wayne, Kanye and Ice Cube have thrown their support behind Trump, or at least a new 'platinum plan' intended to help the black community.

Biden campaign spokeswoman Symone Sanders (who mocked a white Trump supporter who was beaten in Chicago, and is apparently OK with all of the above) - says Bloomberg's sources are trippin'.

"No campaign in American history has devoted this level of resources that we have to outreach to voters of color, and we’re deeply proud of it," said Sanders, adding "In community-specific advertising alone, we’ve dedicated tens of millions of dollars to each community, with a total into 9 figures. And we’ve committed tens of millions on in-person GOTV programs unique to communities of color. Earning the support of diverse voters is the beating heart of our operation. We’re also the most diverse general election campaign in American history, including at senior levels, and all of our strategic decisions are driven by our diverse leadership team."

The anonymous advisers, however, fear the Biden campaign has become overconfident - especially after weak turnout among people of color for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and she had hot-sauce on her side.

Unreal.

Except for the fact that we are in upside-down world.

Paraphrasing Dems: “We will spare no expense in getting your vote, while doing absolutely nothing—worse than nothing actually-—we will HARM you, and our country, because OUR (elected Dems) lives matter more than........ANYTHING.”

...Medicaid, the bare bones health care provided to welfare bums and other that make about $ 16,000 a year or less
_____________________________
I’ve known very ill people on Medicaid.

One elderly woman received a life-saving experimental surgery in University hospitals 100 miles from her home and lived another 8 years, well into her 80s.

Another middle-aged woman has received years of life-saving care, about $30k worth a year and was recently diagnosed with a blood cancer. She got every test known to medicine and most of her MDs were proficient and did wonders for her.

It really can be there for people in extreme situations.

The worst thing about it (and other governmental programs) is it really kills motivation. The recipient cannot make over $800 or so a month or they lose the medical benefit and without that benefit, they die.

Lots of minorities have woken up to the fact that the Dems take them for granted and abuse them. Trump was right in 2016 when he said “What have you got to lose voting for me?”

Maybe Blacks saw that Trump delivered on his campaign promises when the RATs never do.

You can walk into a black community and find that Joe Biden simply doesn’t excite them in any fashion (similar to Hillary Clinton). So those numbers that Barak Obama could pull...aren’t being delivered.

Blacks excited about Trump? They are being delivered. I would imagine at the end, more than 40-percent of registered blacks don’t vote in 2020.

There’s a silver lining that the dems aren’t seeing here: Since Joe has ruled that blacks that vote for Trump “ain’t black”, then no matter what happens, the dems will still be able to claim that 100% of blacks voted for them.

They’re running away from a train wreck they can see coming.

So they are proud of their efforts to use the black and latino vote to win themselves the election, IOW, they are proud of their efforts to use people they will do nothing for to put them in positions of power.

There is another element to all of this that I havent heard mentioned. The majority of black people dont jump right in line with BLM. They dont believe every time a black person resists arrest and gets shot it is time to riot and loot. They may mumble black lives matter in the right company, but they know this is bullshit and overall makes black people look bad. The left has now proudly become the party of arson, looting and murder. And that just isnt for most people.

Maybe they don’t want to vote for an old pasty white dead looking man.

And his running mate a white-jamaican/asian-indian growing up in Canada going around saying she is black american.
