How would these young activists recommend Democrats win back the sizable number of Latino voters who changed parties and supported Trump in 2024? They were apparently won over by his anti-immigrant rhetoric, so traditional Democratic messaging on immigration did not work for them.

George - you're asking an important question. Are you reading Mike Madrid? He has a point of view and some research to back it. Latinos aren't all alike so he's likely not the only answer. We all have to keep asking and listening to different voices cuz obviously there was a significant shift in 2024 that hurt our country - ALL of us.
Yes, I wondered about that too. How is it that these Latino voters changed and supported Trump? What could possibly have run them over about the anti-immigrant rhetoric? That they are immune just because theyтАЩre legal? Obviously this story puts the lie to that!
Pam - listening to Sarah's focus groups, I keep learning how little many of our fellow citizens pay attention to the details of news & politics. This is really hurting us in this new world where Trump/MAGA is perfectly willing to lie so often. People are gullible. Only paying attention to part of what they hear. Wishful thinking. Focusing only on one aspect of the situation (he'll bring back the glory days of 2017-19 when things were cheaper) and not paying attention to the crazy promises (deport 15 million who are eating the dogs & cats).
As you concluded: many are gonna get a rude wake up call
Ok. They stayed home and didnтАЩt vote for Harris. Great. Now why should I, a Democrat, support them? The real world doesnтАЩt work with perfection. You have choices to make, and sometimes you do the best you can. They made a choice not to support Democrats. Not voting for Harris was the same as voting for Trump.
Surely most "asylum seekers" are economic migrants or people fleeing the generalized violence of failed or near-failed states. It's not our responsibility to admit them as asylum seekers when they don't meet the legal definition.
