Ben Jealous raised a red flag

[MomInTheCrowd]

Ben Jealous gave a grave warning on the Thom Hartmann show this morning. He said the Biden campaign is being greatly outspent in reaching Hispanic voters through multiple outlets, including FaceBook.

1. * sigh *

Tragic that people continue to vote against their own interests.

Tragic that it all boils down to $$$ and we cannot buy our way out of this hellhole.

[stillcool]

2. you already posted this

[BannonsLiver]

3. All of the polls show that Trump is performing at 2016 levels with Hispanics

Whether or not he’s being outspent doesn’t seem to matter much.

[FakeNoose]

43. Actually a lot of Cuban-Americans are leaving the GOP

Since Chump took over in 2016, the Cubans living (mostly) in Florida have seen a lot of reasons to NOT vote for him. Some have left the Party for good, others have decided they won't vote this time. This Cuban-American bloc has been voting solidly Republican since before the Southern racists came in. They're leaving, and the Puerto Ricans and Mexicans have already left.

What's left of the Latinx vote? Not sure.

[grantcart]

54. Amy Walter at Cook report had an in-depth analysis comparing 2016

Actual votes and current polling that shows Trump has had virtually no increase in support except among Latinos where he moved from 28 to 35%, probably gaining among non central American/Mexican evangelicals.

4. Latinx are going to vote for the cruel pustule who puts Latinx kids in cages?

[brush]

7. Seventy some percent of Latinx voted blue in 2106. With trump's record...

I'd bet even more will vote blue in Nov. You know this as well as I do. trump has been a disaster to the Latinx community.

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. I was wrong. I will remove my post

Sorry

[LeftInTX]

9. I've got Latinos for Trump signs in my neighborhood

60% Latino

[brush]

11. See post 7. This is a Dem web site. Why are you posting...

pro-trump trash?

[LeftInTX]

20. I live with this crap

I'm the Democratic Precinct Chair.
I deal with all the voters here. My precinct voted 58% for Trump.
I am not lying.

Why is it Pro-Trump if I am the Democratic Precinct Chair?
It is reality.
Do you wanna win in November or put your head in the sand?
Come down here and talk to voters!

What are you doing for Biden????

Do you live in a Latinx community?

[brush]

21. I do vote reg, phone banking. And in the last 3 presidential...

cycles, canvassing. Of course we're not doing that now because of covid. Also was a precinct captain for Obama so you're talking to a long time Dem worker. I feel for you in such a red district. I don't like to see info that makes people think what's the use though.

[LeftInTX]

25. I'm still going door to door

I leave notes, but don't ring bells

[brush]

26. Hats off to you. You're going above and beyond the call.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

33. Curious-- have you confirmed those signs are displayed on Latinx homes?

I just keep thinking of all those pictures we've seen posted on DU of white people wearing Blacks for Trump T-shirts and such.

[LeftInTX]

34. Yes

That was the first thing I did.

In 2018, I looked at earlier voters. I anxiously clivked

[Gidney N Cloyd]

35. That's depressing.

[LeftInTX]

60. His Latinos for Trump signs were stolen

Probably by an 18 yo, who is overwhelmed by all the Trump signs. He's around 70 yo. He is quite able bodied though and is always redoing his yard and flying Marine flags etc. So he's not a frail senior citizen.

Protest, my ass..

Image is from Nextdoor. Recognized his name from the voter roles right away.

[qazplm135]

12. about 30 percent yes

60 percent no.

Roughly same as last time.

[brush]

14. See post 7, and emphasis the positive. This is a pro-Dem site...

for God's sake. After trump has caged Latinx kids and called Latinx criminals and prostitutes I doubt he'll get as many votes from that community this time.

[qazplm135]

17. I emphasize reality

all current polling shows the numbers roughly similar to last time. Trump MIGHT lose a couple of percentage points, but there is no indication of a massive change.

[jmbar2]

5. Spending is the wrong metric

The election-industrial complex likes us to believe that it's all about the money. In this election, it's all about turnout. No one is going to change their mind because of a TV ad.

[Stallion]

22. I Agree --also the Mailings/Leaflets and Random Telephone Calls Irritate People as Much as Help

[Captain Zero]

59. True they can motivate Biden voters to actually get to the polls.

[orwell]

8. почему ты здесь

[Sogo]

13. The woman from Voto Latino who is a frequent guest on MSNBC

said recently that they have registered 250,000 new voters; this time last election, they had registered 1200.

[brush]

15. That's what I'm talking about. This OP is way too negative.

Maybe should be deleted as this is a site that promotes Democrats.

[qazplm135]

18. stop it

talking about what folks think the percentages will be in a manner which you disagree with is not attacking Democrats.

[brush]

19. Emphasis the positive. Leave scaring people to the repug.

[qazplm135]

27. how is it "scaring?"

You seem to be the only one "scared."

I'm not "scared" about getting 70 percent of the Hispanic vote like last time.

[brush]

28. Now you're getting it. Emphasis the positive 70%.

That's all I'm saying, instead of featuring the negative which may make some feel like what's the use, it's hopeless.

[qazplm135]

29. lol

lame response. I didn't do anything different from before.
Please take your nervous energy somewhere else.
Thanks.

[brush]

30. No need for insults. I'm an optimist. And before didn't you talk about the 30% for trump?

[qazplm135]

31. before

I said both...apparently, just seeing 30 sent you into a flight of nervousness.

[brush]

32. Give it a rest. Just learn to be positive to help get out the vote.

[qazplm135]

36. yawn

unlike you, I spend my time doing things to win, not whining on a message board because I'm scared.

[brush]

37. Like what exactly. I myself have phone banked, voter reg, data entry...

and canvassed for the last three presidential cycles. Was a precinct captain for Obama and donate what I can afford regularly—a long-time Dem worker in other words. I don't just talk the talk.

I help get out the vote. Hope you do the same.

Now enough of this, I'm done.

[qazplm135]

38. you should have been done

from the start.

Get back to work then and stop policing other people because you don't think they are positive enough for you to not be scared.

[brush]

39. Just as I thought, you don't do anything.

[qazplm135]

40. I don't do anything

because I don't deign to respond to a yahoo on a message board? LOL

Let me clue you in to something, I don't care what you think. I also don't really give much credence to claims made on an internet message board to begin with.

I'll start worrying about matching bonafides with you or anyone else about two days after never.

I do plenty, I don't need to tout it.

[brush]

41. Hahahahahaha! If you did you'd talk about it.

[qazplm135]

42. nah, YOU'D talk about it

but see your validation doesn't mean anything to me.

I don't talk. You do.

[brush]

44. It's called talking the talk and walking the walk. Try it sometime.

Now get off my lawn.

[qazplm135]

45. first of all

everything here is talk.

second of all, not your lawn.

third of all, you're ridiculous.

[brush]

46. That's the best you can do? Guess that's more than what you do for the party.

[qazplm135]

48. yes

says the guy who was "out" ten posts ago.

You've definitely got the talk part down.

[brush]

49. Ok, I admit I said I was out, but you're such a great set-man man.

I'll be here all week (imagine a rim shot sound right here).

[qazplm135]

50. And you are still going

You illustrate your own problem

[brush]

52. I know. I can't help myself. You make it so easy.

[qazplm135]

55. I know you can't help yourself

I called it at the beginning.

[LeftInTX]

23. Come to South Texas and talk to voters.

Roll your sleeves up and get to work.
Put your money where your mouth is:
Me: $55 - 4 by 8 sign for.my fence
$150 -40 Biden Harris yard signs. Shipment arriving at noon tomorrow. I hand these out.

[brush]

24. I already answered you in post 21.

[Polybius]

56. Negativity gets us out to vote much more

In 2016, there were way too many snark "thank you for your concern" replies to anyone who suggested that it would be close. Too many thought we had it an the bag. We must all vote and get people who never vote to vote. I've gotten some of my friend's kids to register, all of whom are 18-21ish.

[BainsBane]

57. What's destructive

Is pretending this election is in the bag. Biden is polling lower than Clinton did in Battleground states. We have to work hard for every single vote. Pretending voters think like we do about Trump is a serious mistake. In my state of MN, traditionally a blue state, Trump and Biden are statistically tied. There seems to be a backlash due to the riots, because Wisconsin has also moved toward Trump. The solution is not to blame people who point out the challenges facing us but to volunteer to phone bank and do everything you can to get Biden elected. https://joebiden.com/take-action/#
Close the request for money, and you'll see search fields to find phone banks in your area. If you're already doing this, fantastic.

53. Maria Teresa Kumar of Voto Latino. nt

[NightWatcher]

16. Hartmann still cashing RT (Rus Prop) checks?

I'm going to pass on his show and what he says. He payed a role (no matter how small) in the last election and was a recipient of RT funds and even had a show.

If ANYONE (Brown, Black....) needs to be convinced that Biden supports them, they haven't been paying attention.

[treestar]

47. Money alone is not everything

And Biden doesn't seem to need money ; he's already known. Look at all the states that he won where he didn't spend a dime.

[StarfishSaver]

51. I doubt that spending more money on ads will have much influence on any Hispanic voter

who still is thinking about voting for Trump.

Better to focus the resources on people with sense.

[BainsBane]

58. All the more reason to volunteer to phone bank

https://joebiden.com/take-action/#
Close the request for money, and you'll see search fields to find phone banks in your area. They are virtual, so you make the calls from home.
