Your links made it sound like it was pure lies and disinformation that lost Florida. It wasn't. Dems are fundamentally out of touch with the conservative Latinos and they are the majority of the Latino vote in Florida.

The Reddit thread I linked to also explains the reason why Latinos in places like Arizona and Cali vote blue while Latinos in Florida vote red. Cali/Arizona Latinos are majority Mexican, in Florida they are majority Cuban. These people are very different.

Latinos from Cuba know all about socialism, and they don't like it!

Use ranked-choice or 'single transferable vote' voting, enabling people outside established parties to take part and have a shot without voters feeling like they'd be wasting their vote.

That is also good.

Golly.

Why don't you rather say, "Tut tut, they didn't know what they were voting for. They were just too uneducated and ignorant to know they were being lied to. What a shame. Maybe when they develop a little more, and become more educated, they'll vote blue."

Do you see the condescension? The arrogance? People only vote conservative because they were lied to and too stupid to tell the difference?

Again, golly. This attitude of condescension and arrogance is the very reason why Democrats struggle in low income and rural areas.

"We know what's better for you. You'd vote the same as us if you were less ignorant."

Like wow.

I remember Hillary lost last time because she said "I love the poorly educated."

So voting for something means you don't support it ??


So we could just kill someone but it's ok because we don't support it

The question is worded in a way that doesn't require you to be on a side to vote for it.

If it said "who do you want to win the election," thats different

Mind you l never met a Trump supporter in like 5 years here. Dunno if the correct term is cult member or follower, so maybe that's where I we t wrong

I’m pretty sure a smart, highly educated woman who’s graduated top 1% of her Harvard class and who definitely isn’t a bimbo won’t have any trouble finding a lucrative job.

Your memory is poor. She lost because she called them deplorables.

She also exercised poor judgment in her choice of email server, and that allowed Trump to create a monicker that stuck - Crooked Hilary.
