Still flummoxed that Cuban-Americans and Venezuelan-Americans feel like Joe Biden is essentially the same person as Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez. And there's this quick, direct path from a Democratic presidency in the U.S. to 1959 Cuba
None of that rings true.
It is 2020 and maybe it is time to end politcal divisiveness . How about being inclusive to all as one and have everyone just referred to as people, American Citizens?
In terms of political analysis that doesn’t work. For business purposes that doesn’t work either. We live in a multicultural society, for better or worse. It’s almost always better IMO.
I think you are conflating political divisiveness and political analysis.
I think that means the bloc doesn't really exist.
I'm not surprised that Cuban Americans voted they way they did - that was logical. Starr County, though, is a huge red flag and was one of the big surprises of this election.

1,000.000%...the issue is they are committed to identity politics and if they go this route they would have to totally change how they go about things.
Oh, we would be wise to study the history of how authoritarians came to power and the wreckage they brought with them when their power was unchecked.
Trump and Chavez or Catro is massive false equivalency and is the worst of analogies. Try better.
I don't know the current leader of Brazil very well, so I'll abstain from even pretending I can comment intelligently on that. He very well could be like him. I'd have to research it. Judging from the Brazilian leader's treatment of COVID, it wouldn't surprise me.
Rock of course is right and I'm sure you agree Z, but these false equivalencies have been marketed to Latinos, particularly to the Cuban population in Florida.
It is. Republicans are a party of fear. "They" are going to take your guns, freedom, possessions, everything. Now you could tell me the Democrats are a party of giving you "everything" and we can have a similar but completely different argument.
them pretty hard.

Biden to Chavez to Castro is an even worse false equivalency -- yet we are to believe the prospect of a President Biden scares Cuban-Americans enough to have them voting in a solid bloc for Trump.rockaction said:
See above. In truth, I simply don't believe that a significant number of Cuban-Americans truly fear Democratic politicians -- in the U.S. -- turning the country into an authoritarian socialist state in short order.parasaurolophus said:Do they actually believe this?

One is crazy town. The other I can at least make an argument for, especially if the senate was flipped.
Maybe re-evaluate your assumptions about what Latinos think?Still flummoxed that Cuban-Americans and Venezuelan-Americans feel like Joe Biden is essentially the same person as Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez. And there's this quick, direct path from a Democratic presidency in the U.S. to 1959 Cuba
This should have been known long before 2020. Anyone who has friends from different “Latino” backgrounds already knew this.
Posted this in Presidential thread but NYTimes says Hispanic vote won Texas for Trump. Massive shift in many very heavy blue Hispanic counties in the south.Still flummoxed that Cuban-Americans and Venezuelan-Americans feel like Joe Biden is essentially the same person as Fidel Castro or Hugo Chavez.
