Sorry, I’m a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don’t really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?

EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I’m even more confused as I see people mentioning “hispanic americans” as a synonym for “latino”. This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I’m not really sure about what I’m trying to say.

Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don’t see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don’t feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.

Why doesn’t working class matter? Because such people generally aren’t as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.

What matters is - he’s got huge mostly Republican audience and she could have used it to raise ideas.

For free.

That’s a law in this country - platform must be provided to both parties and she didn’t take her chance.

This just emphasizes that she was a bad candidate and she can’t talk without teleprompter.

With you on the first line, but sitting down with Rogan would not have changed anything. Especially with Rogans preferential treatment of right wing figures if anyone’s been paying attention. But the DNC 100% fucked up.

I dunno man, I was gonna try to use the $25,000 down payment assistance to buy a duplex but now instead I’ll be paying out the ass for everything because of those fucking tarrifs. The only thing Trump did for the working class was insult them with his pathetic McDonald’s stunt, and then clumsily climbed into the passenger side of a garbage truck to show off what a pile of garbage he is.

but it worked. the stunt worked.
i am just amazed democrats couldnt come up with similar thing.

FFS - kamala could have setup a lemonade stand near some factory and talked to workers.
She could have worked in a soup kitchen one day and do small talk with homeless people - media would eat that up.

or offer some new policies from Bernie playbook - like mandatory vacations and single payer medical.

instead - all we got was complete and utter lack of initiative. lazy ass dem leadership is completely useless

$25,000

that was a fraud proposal. dems would have never been able to pass it and they know it.
just like student loans - it would have been killed in congress or senate.
The idea behind such proposals - is then democrats could just blame republicans “see - we tried it, but those GOP mean sunova bitches”.
but dont even worry about it. kamala or not - you would have never seen this money.

The problem Is that he is a dipshit a lot of people listen to. And Kamala had a chance to reach those people and try to change their ideas or at least make them aware of her ideas, but she refused so they never had a chance to begin with

Yes, that was the end of her campaign for sure, not sitting down and chatting with the must gullible, misogynistic meathead alive.

I imagine it would have gone something like this.

Yeah there would’ve been no defending this if it happened. Rogan controls the mics and would do whatever he could to end her campaign right there. Maga would post all over X (with Elon’s amplification) that she got “owned” as Rogan shouted over her her, and the left would be angry that she appeared on his show in the first place. It would have been a pure loss.

Who gives a damn, it’s Republican listeners base is what is important.
She can’t handle those high pressure meetings makes her a bad candidate. I mean the whole reason she was even running is Biden assigned her by decree, she would have never won in the fair primaries and that’s what Democrats should have done.

The Democratic campaign underestimated just how stupid, racist, and misogynistic the average US citzen is. Don’t get me wrong, they should’ve known and definitely could’ve ran a better campaign, but this is mostly on Americans being too dumb to know what’s best for them.

I personally don’t blame any minorities, considering white men and women were by far the most prominent Trump voters. The US is a country of racist dumbasses.

One of these is unforgiveable. But also, after liberals went absolutely apeshit over Bernie sitting down with Rogan, I can see why Harris was hesitant.

I also remember when people were very excited about student debt relief and an increased min wage and the Green New Deal jobs program and finally putting an end to Kids In Cages and Gitmo and the ugly foreign wars and… Oops.

She did literally every other thing she could to court Republicans in the past two months and didn’t care that it pissed off a chunk of her base, why stop there? (OTOH it won her zero R votes, so there’s that. I’m sure they won’t try THAT tactic again. /s)

Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren’t stupid). They justify it by saying “it’s just a trashy person of any color”. So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don’t think they’ve tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation
