The socialist messaging has had an outsized impact on SOME Latinos. That seems evident.

Which is why Bernie never should have been given a serious platform.  He’d be doing worse right now.

Biden won Cubans in the Florida primary, that turned out well for him tonight. Making extrapolations from the primary is foolish.
Keep telling yourself that.

Biden didn’t take „Latinos for granted“.

It’s more a combination of Latinos not wanting more of their folk coming into the US illegally when they themselves came often legally and stick to the rules, buying more and more into Trumps tough immigration rhetoric. Also, many Latinos are machos.

Things are so hard to see right now - OH and NC who knows what is left, while GA has so much left.

[The Free North]

Cornyn wins already, yeah TX is out of reach.

White people saving the DEMS is exactly what 2020 ordered.

The vast majority of the rioters and thugs are white. Whites have lost our minds and a large part of our population are a bunch of pro-crime sjw cowards,. It would truly be something if hispanics save trump!

There aren't enough Hispanics to save Trump.  This is actually the 2012 autospy taken to the max except WWC and white suburban trading places. Romney could have won 70% of the Hispanic vote and still lose the election.

Biden winning Monongalia County, WV by almost ten points with 76% in according to CNN.

Lol I remember all those "will Trump make a perfect county sweep in any state?" threads.

Argh it looks like Trump is going to carry it by an extremely narrow margin in the end.

F#ck myself.

Starr County, border county in Texas:
2016: 9,289 Clinton 2,224 Trump
2020 (92%): 7,636 Biden 6,515 Trump

What the hell...?

Latin America says hello!

The only good side of Trump winning is forcing democrats to not disrespect Latino voters anymore but even then they would still probably do the same in 2024. I still don’t forget what they did after Bernie won in Nevada and the condescending stuff mainstream media said about his Latino base driving him to the win.

That said, democrats made a conscious decision to ignore minorities in order to appeal to moderate suburban women in WI, MI and PA. That can still pay off so people should wait. They just can’t act shocked with headlines “wHy arE LAtiNoS voTinG fOr tRuMp???”. But if Biden happens to lose and these people blame Latinos then they deserve everything they get.

This. Every time I brought up how much Democrats have disrespected my community this cycle, I got lectured by a red avatar on how no one but white liberals cares about kids in cages.

[It’s so Joever]

I think its safe to say Texas will vote red.

[Bootes Void]

Hey how is NC, Georgia and Ohio looking?

Less than 600 votes, dang.

I was right about Biden winning the primary after Iowa, and I'm being proven right again.

If you've got some analysis we're happy to read it but just repeating over and over how Biden's going to lose everything and how you were right about it is really annoying.

You've been wrong about things too before, like how bad Covid would get.

[Non Swing Voter]

They fixed Lehigh.  I think they just added 200k to Biden's total by accident.

[Tender Branson]

Here’s some good news for Biden !

He’s cutting Hillary’s margins in WV a bit ...

[GoTfan]

Hey how is NC, Georgia and Ohio looking?

Not good. NYT gives Trump a pretty good chance of winning NC

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Looks like CNN pulled VA out of the Biden column!

[The Free North]

El Paso (im guessing just the early vote so could be more R later) vote in

67-30 Biden

was

69-25 Clinton

[Suburbia]

"I like him, but, eh, he's too young and inexperienced."

No one with the name Castro is winning a election

He'd do worse in FL

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Ohio looks like it will be within a few points. That tells me that Biden has won the Presidency...

[Yeahsayyeah]

Well, the conventional wisdom was that the sunbelt states would be close, and the midwest must win states not so. This still seems to hold. Florida is unfortunate, though.

Biden took Latinos for granted. His outreach was consistently terrible during the primaries and we've little reason to believe that changed during the GE. Even in FL where they were much less drawn to Sanders, Bloomberg polled well (often better than Biden).

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Guam update (61% partially reporting, 14k total votes): margin stays pretty consistent since last update at Biden 55.7, Trump 41.5.

Guam update (73% partially reporting, 19k total votes): marginal improvement for Biden to 55.8, Trump at 41.4.

Appears Guam has a similar pro-incumbent bias that Hawaii also has.

I love that memes that were born here, what, 16 years ago are still going strong.

The memes deserve their accolades

All hail mypalfish for creating the longest-running meme on Atlas.

Heck, for 2004, they probably have a reasonable claim to creating one of the first politics-based memes anywhere on the internet.

Hardly. The internet long predates the web. I first used the internet in 1986. (FTP for the win!)

Yeah, but memes? I don't remember any internet memes before at least 2008ish, unless you count things like the Hampsterdance that were more just pop culture phenomena that were based on the internet.

Godwin's Law dates to 1990 on USENET.

"We don't expect Kansas to be blue by the end of the evening, BUT..."

Uh, sorry John.  There's no "but" after that statement

I think its safe to say Texas will vote red.

It's not safe to say how Texas will go at this stage, period.
