The Latino Vote: The Real Game Changer of 2024?

Mike Madrid's insights on Latino voters challenge many assumptions held by traditional political strategies. He argues that these voters are up for grabs, and that economic class may be a more important factor than ethnic identity. With trends showing a generational shift, where increasingly more third and fourth-generation Latino voters see themselves simply as "typical Americans," how should political candidates approach this crucial electorate differently?

Let's discuss: - Should politicians shift from ethnic-focused to class-based appeals to win the Latino vote? - What do you think about the diminishing role of race in voter motivation, especially among younger generations? - Can economic populism truly bridge the gap between multiethnic working-class voters and the GOP?

Share your thoughts and let's dive into this game-changing topic!

Analysis on Race and Class by a beginner socialist

These are study notes for the Article Race, Class and Marxism which was part of my educational entrance into Reform & Revolution caucus of DSA. Much of it has a loose structure, and hopefully soon I can edit it so that it reads more clearly.

The Price Of Privilege. More and more, given President #Duterte and his practice of double speak, one finds that what surfaces is thoughtless public opinion, the kind that reveals a blindness to privilege and class difference, a display of our own predisposition to stand against one injustice but not another: no to the poor being killed in the drug war, but yes to the poor being left without homes and certainly they don't deserve access to water and electricity!; use oppression and inequality as subjects of our creative work, but never take a stand against either when it is most critical to real people's lives; speak of helping and empowering the poor, but refuse to support them when they act collectively towards self-determination, without us, with just their experience of having been disenfranchised for far too long by government policy, with rules they have tried to play by, but this a system that will not let them win. We like to talk about independence and freedom, about rebelling against rules and fighting for our rights. This is no different from the urban poor taking over idle housing no one else wants. Yet it seems we do not allow the poor to demand for what we ourselves would fight for, and one wonders if we realize that we're insisting that they deserve less, even as they already have the least. #ClassCrisis #ClassViolence #ClassPolitics #Privilege #blindness #elitism #Philippines #Pilipinas #OccupyPabahay #OccupyPandi #KadamayAko #Kadamay #housingPH #shelterPH 📷taken at Pandi Bulacan, Mar 2017.

A friend sent me this picture from #NYC on Friday. It reminded me of how I had 5yrs of finding myself in the crazy, comical and cool streets of #NewYork. I will always love #Manhattan. For a moment in time I was kinda #free. Adulting was easy and I was surrounded by the Hudson River, the Cloisters, chilling in Battery Park or enjoying a stroll to Brooklyn via the Bridge. I miss those times of solitude where it was just me, my headphones and the beauty of New York City. #FabWorld . . . . . . . #NuevaYork #EmpireState #Youth #HarlemWorld #WashingtonHeights #181 #145 #125 #Harlem #BatteryPark #CafeHabana #StoryFromMyYouth #Manhattan #ClassPolitics #Gentrification #RentStabilized #SmallApartment http://ift.tt/2pnYysO

Perspective. Been working hard on things that pay, so I can do the work that will not pay at this point but which I really truly want to do, such an embarrassingly old bourgeois struggle of course, knowing full well that others would not have either option to work and be paid well or at least enough for one's efforts, and to work on and for and towards the things one wants. This Ate swept this unfamiliar stretch of road under intense heat, stopping every so often, but mostly focused on getting from one end to another. When she finally reached the end of the road, I wondered where else needed cleaning as there were no more sidewalks in sight, and then I realized she would be going in either direction of nowhere. #Today #WomenDaily #ClassCrisis #ClassPolitics #ClassViolence #kawomenan #feminism
