In 2018, however, given how competitive many House races were, outreach — especially by Democrats — improved.


Imagine that. When campaigns reach out to people and listen to them, they tend to vote for the candidates.

Another nation-wide problem is that people need to stop thinking we are perpetual foreigners, H-1Bs, job stealing immigrants, etc. A hell of a lot more of us are US citizens than some folks may believe. And the number of voters is growing every day as more American-born children turn 18 after hearing deplorables tell us to leave this country.


In Kulkarni’s case, 28 percent of Asian voters participated in the Democratic primary in 2018, compared to just 6 percent in 2014.

Both Jordan and Hasanali offered similar advice for candidates seeking to mobilize Asian American voters in 2020: put in the time to connect with the community in the places and platforms that they frequented most.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
