This Is what the left doesn't understand about Latino's. Since our website has lurkers who love to copy our articles, maybe if they read this reprint, they might learn something. Everything below is original to the writer Except where I comment in red. The writer is one Progressive. Only difference from our Progressive lurkers is that this writer is he's educated and has some common sense.

Joe
Biden needed no reminder from the arrival of Hispanic Heritage Month
this week that he should focus on Latinos. While a mere 3 percent of
American voters overall have yet to decide on a presidential candidate,
according to recent polls from Quinnipiac and Monmouth, 38 percent of registered Hispanic voters in 10 battleground states may be ambivalent about even voting.
At
least so far, this large group of Latinos seemingly perceives little
reason to choose Mr. Biden over President Trump. That makes this group —
part of the largest racial-ethnic voting bloc in the country after whites — a key component of the swing voters in this election.
Our recent research opens a window onto these voters. One of us studies racism in American law and politics; the other runs an organization
dedicated to expanding the electorate. Both of us have roots in Latino
communities. This spring, we teamed up to study what was happening among
Hispanic voters and to fashion a strategy for drawing our communities —
Latinos and others as well — into a multiracial progressive coalition.
With the help of two liberal pollsters, Joshua Ulibarri and Celinda Lake,
we conducted 15 focus groups with members of various Hispanic
communities across the country and ran a national survey. We also polled
large cohorts of whites and African-Americans.
