While I agree with most of this I don't know the relevance to what I was talking about. I'm not singling you out but it's funny that when a majority minority area votes for a minority candidate it's considered identity politics and that they voted for the minority simply because they're a minority but when it's a majority white area that votes repeatedly for white people nobody would accuse that area of voting for the candidate simply because they're white. And there are plenty of districts that have voted for white candidates at a far higher rate and far longer than many minority districts.Quote:

As for why Democrats are not winning the Hispanic vote at the same rate as the black vote, it's because Hispanic families are very traditional and actually more likely to be conservative. The bigger failure is the alienation by the GOP of the Hispanic vote instead of embracing it, because they would naturally gravitate towards the religious, conservative, fiscal message of the GOP if it didn't include so much animosity towards immigrants and hispanics.
Well, crap, isn’t that was all politicians (JFK included) say they believe in? And you’d be hard pressed to find any consensus on what contitutes the “interests” of a nation.Quote:

What will she do next week?
Whatever it is that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez will do next week, I’ll happily bet the ranch that one thing she won’t be doing is letting herself be scooped up to go home with you.Quote:
