Top Latino Democrats are voicing growing concern about Joe Biden’s campaign, warning that lackluster efforts to win the support of their community could have devastating consequences in the November election.

Recent polls showing President Trump’s inroads with Latinos have set off a fresh round of frustration and finger-pointing among Democrats, confirming problems some say have simmered for months. Many Latino activists and officials said Biden is now playing catch-up, particularly in the pivotal state of Florida, where he will campaign Tuesday — the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month — for the first time as the presidential nominee. Reaching out to Latino voters will be a key focus on the visit, according to a person with knowledge of the trip. Biden’s campaign said he will be in Tampa and Kissimmee, two areas with large Puerto Rican populations.

are fine with Trump taking children from Mexico, Central America, and South America away from their parents at the borders, letting these children endure a lifetime of trauma, terminating the parental rights, and having them either languish in cages or send them out for adoption. These are Latinos as well.

What my country can do for me,but what I can do for my country.

The Republicans are in bed with dictators these day. If Castro was still alive, they would be lining up to blow his geriatric cock.
Sorry for the mental image. I exist in a cloud of barely suppressed rage nowadays.

Biden has strong support from Latinos . .

In speaking to family and friends in Florida, Biden's has strong support there as well.

Latinos overall know that this administration and t-rump do not treat them with dignity and respect.

that want to push a story so hard it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and a media that plays along.

"I'm voting for Biden" - "

"wait, didn't you hear how much he's struggling with Hispanic Voters in this one county in Florida?"

"Damn, I'd better rethink my vote then"

It's funny how you don't see reports of Retrumplicans complaining that Donnie Shit for Brains campaign isn't doing enough to reach out to white voters.

shitty leftist governments . Yeah,bringing up the fact that the right wing govts suck also isn't going to help.

For these people it's thoughts of dealing with hunger and losing everything they had .

What they need to do is focus on things like small businesses and go after Trump on kissing Kim and Putin's asses .

10. Hispanic voters say economy, health care and COVID-19 are top issues in 2020 presidential election
Mon Sep 14, 2020, 07:26 AM

About eight-in-ten Latino registered voters and U.S. voters overall rate the economy as very important to their vote, the highest shares among the 12 issues included in this survey. But these groups differ on other issues. Higher shares of Latino voters than U.S. voters cite health care (76% vs. 68%), the coronavirus outbreak (72% vs. 62%) and racial and ethnic inequality (66% vs. 52%) as very important. These views come as Latinos have faced disproportionate economic and health effects from the coronavirus outbreak. The largest gap is on climate change, with 60% of Latinos and 42% of U.S. adults citing it as very important to their vote for president.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/09/11/hispanic-voters-say-economy-health-care-and-covid-19-are-top-issues-in-2020-presidential-election/

Not in a swing state, so I don't really know, but I'm not hearing a persuasive plan for getting the economy back to full operation. While racial and ethnic inequality is high on the list, violent crime is almost as high a concern.

They can't act as surrogates? We're in the middle of a goddamn pandemic, you ninnies. One that affects your community harder than most. Get off your own asses and help him out.

If the surrogates are so concerned, why aren't THEY out there helping him out? All they're doing is bitching that Biden isn't doing enough. Take a page from Jim Clyburn, ffs.
