Summary
Historians suggest Democrats might have fared better against Donald Trump by embracing the economic issues championed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long pushed for a focus on “bread-and-butter” concerns for working-class voters.
Despite Kamala Harris’s progressive policies, polls showed Trump was favored on economic issues, particularly among working-class and Hispanic voters.
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur argued that Sanders’ messaging on economic struggles could be key for future Democratic strategies.
Sanders himself criticized the party for “abandoning” the working class, which he said has led to a loss of support across racial lines.
I agree but the line of attack towards Hispanic voters would be that Sanders is trying to implement the Socialism that they fled from.
I hate how when we call a Nazi a anazi, it “loses meaning”…
But the right calls Joe Biden a fucking communist so we need to move the party to the right.
It’s real obvious when regardless of reality moderates just keep repeating “this proves we need to go to the right”.
It doesn’t fucking work, we keep trying it and even if we get a Dem in office, they can’t/won’t fix things faster than Republicans can break it.
I get why the politicians don’t, they make a lot of more net from corporations by doing it, but I’ll never understand why a regular ass citizens legitimately believes it’s a valid strategy
Hispanic voters fled from the EU?
Maybe. Not sure we can be afraid of that anymore, though, if I’m being perfectly honest. Even Harris was labeled a "kam"munist, so I’m not sure it could get any worse.
Hispanic voters did not “flee socialism.” Why are you lying?
I think they might be referring to Cubans?
Oh no. We might not win Florida, since that’s still a swing state.
Probably, but it was still absolutely braindead moronic and blatantly in bad faith in multiple ways. First of all, most Hispanic Americans came from somewhere other than Cuba, so the bullshit about “socialism” doesn’t even begin to apply. Second, communism as implemented by Cuba is entirely fucking different from the socialism advocated for by Bernie Sanders, and conflating them is not only ridiculous but downright defamatory.
