AOC Blasts Fellow Democrats for Resisting Term Latinx: 'Not About Your Reelection Prospects'

7. If Latinos don't like/use it, why should we?

I was once in favor of it as a simplification and not having to say "Latinos and Latinas", and also just a typical Americanization as we like to use shortcuts and abbreviations in language.

But after much reading and personally hearing Latinos say it's not proper Spanish and is an anglicized word being forced on them, I've changed my mind about it.

As a party we really need to increase inroads into the Latino community and one way to do it is to advertise much more on Spanish language TV and radio. That's what the republicans are doing and it's showing in polling preferences. We can not afford to lose the Latino vote if we want to hold the House and Senate. Also state legislatures.
