Democrats Discover That Their Socialism Is Turning Off Hispanic Voters

Just Hispanic? Of course, Democrats like to put everyone in a box

Democrats worry rising socialism turning off Hispanic voters

Democrats have been trying to regain lost ground with Hispanic voters since the bruising 2024 election.

But as they attempt to win back voters who migrated to the GOP, Democrats are also gripping with the rise of democratic socialism within their own party — a movement they see as a turnoff to some Hispanic voters, particularly the older set who hail from nations like Cuba and Venezuela.

Democratic strategists say while they may prevail in the midterms, they worry that the socialism label will take hold in the 2028 presidential election if centrists in their party don’t sound the alarm.

“Socialism is a nonstarter in places like Florida, where there are big swaths of Hispanic voters,” said one Democratic strategist in the state. “The word in and of itself is toxic.” (snip)

Polling shows that democratic socialism has yet to gain traction among Hispanic Democrats.

A Pew Research Center survey released earlier this year found that just 20 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning Hispanic voters viewed political leaders who identify as democratic socialists favorably — compared with 21 percent of Black Democrats, 30 percent of Asian Democrats and 40 percent of white voters in their party.

What’s not to like?

• Abolishing the U.S. Senate. (nah, let’s just repeal the 17th)
• Expanding the House of Representatives to an unspecified number (I actually think it should be at least tripled, since each rep right now represents over 700K, meaning there really is no representation)
• Abolishing the Electoral College and having Congress elect the president and Supreme Court (meaning all leftists)
• Ridding the system of lobbyists and “dark money” (which is a 1st Amendment violation. And the left takes tons of dark money)
• “End Mass Incarceration and Police Immunity:” (they mean to end jails and police)
• Reparations
• “Feminism for All:” (yeah, this is a much longer bit of insanity)
• Support for Hamas
• Don’t forget how many are Muslims, and support hardcore Islamic extremism. And then non-Muslims are wackjobs who support Islamism, hate Israel, hate Jews
• Defund America’s military, you know, the thing mentioned specifically in the Constitution
• Support for Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela’s hard left authoritarian deposed regime
• “You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right.” (your landlord is the Government, so, you best Comply with their beliefs)
• Government controlling your healthcare, forcing your kids into Government pre-K
• Taking your guns away, restricting your ability to defend yourself.

And so much more.

Miranda said last year’s election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), who is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, has “helped to ease some concerns” about the DSA. But he said Democrats will need to stand up to some of the “extreme” views of the organization, including abolishing the Senate and the presidency.

Historically, Hispanic members have made up a small sliver of the DSA. The organization’s national membership survey in 2021 revealed that 9 percent of respondents identified as Hispanic. An internal survey of New York City DSA members this year found that 14 percent of respondents said they were Hispanic. At the same time, 60 percent of those surveyed identified as white.

It’s primarily uber-white leftists, especially the women, who support this crap, and so many are, in fact, affluent. They don’t worry monetarily. They know, or at least think they know, that the authoritarianism of Modern Socialism won’t affect themselves.
