Can someone explain why Miami turned red?

It’s not racist at all to characterize as uneducated non-English speaking POC who vote how you don’t like. It’s also definitely not racist to assume immigrants don’t speak English. Congratulations on your progressive bona fides!

the is the DCUM way.

I would say Covid has something to do with it. What did they do while the rest of the country closed schools and limit access to grocery stores?

They just do not see it. That statement by that PP was horribly racist and judgmental.

Cubans hold a unique position among Latinos. They don't face the immigration barriers. If they make it here, they are in. That's the law. Republicans welcome each and every one of them in the name of anti-Communism. They still hope for the day that the US overthrows the communist government, and they believe the Republicans are the ones who would do it.

That is not to say that other Latinos don't vote Republican or have good reasons to vote Republican, but when you look at Miami specifically, that one constituency adds up to a lot of the vote.

The state party is non existent and what’s left of it is corrupt.

I speak English and I’m well-educated and also fear socialism in this country.

It’s telling that socialism can unite so many people with very little in common

well educated doesn't necessarily mean "smart", though. We've all seen that in action with Trump.

My thoughts exactly.

It happens that the residents of Miami like their freedom and don't like the direction Democrats are heading. Many have lived in socialist countries and want no part of what the Democrats are trying to sell.

Speaking as an immigrant, this is exactly it. You can’t emotionally blackmail us into turning a blind eye to your nonsense ideologies. Men will never be women, we don’t want you teaching your victim mentality to our kids, and race means nothing to us because we actually have proud CULTURES to hold on to. Keep talking crap about us. We’re not African American and we don’t owe you anything just because you claim you voted for Obama.

Oh and those of us who speak English and are well educated are MORE conservative.

Speaking as a (non-Spanish speaking) foreigner, I have to add that many posters on here automatically equate immigrants with the left, thinking that they're all low-income and want a social safety net. Which many do, of course, but here the left is awash with social mores that are WAY OUT THERE compared to social mores elsewhere in the world... where we come from. In my western European country, with great affordable healthcare and worker protections, there'd be an uproar if we started talking about transgenderism and affirmative action and race reparations the way Americans do (granted, Europe doesn't have the same history of slavery on its own soil, but there's plenty of racism and gender discrimination going on). The left-wing in my country is not obsessed with discussing race and gender like people do here. I understand that progressives want everyone to feel secure and confident in their own identities! But it just seems so.. voyeuristic and prurient!

And I am a leftist myself. However I recognize, based on what made left-wing parties successful around the world, that here the left needs to insist on affordable medication, affordable and geographically accessible healthcare, a basic federal standard of education that's a little more elevated than the rock-bottom one you have, more worker protections... not LGBTQ+ and affirmative action stuff.

PP here. You get it. American-born Democrats talk exclusively to each other about us and then wonder why the nonsense they come up with doesn’t win us over. What the left over here had degraded into has left it completely unlike the left everywhere in the world. I mean the idea that I have to sign onto men in women’s prisons if I want affordable medication? No. No. No. They can keep all their handouts and their radical fascist transformation of society into something unrecognizable. We like strong families where I come from and I take it for granted that we should know exactly what’s being taught to our kids. We don’t believe in making middle-class business owners the enemy and cheering tenants cheating landlords. That’s crazy. That’s how the Soviet Union, Sandinistas, all sorts of horrible, murderous movements started. America will learn that only bad people with a terrible agenda demand top-down control and a forcible transformation of society that undermines the family and stigmatizes entrepreneurial, upwardly mobile strivers. They ALWAYS start out preaching class warfare and promising untold handouts. Then the handouts disappear and the cudgels appear. Most of us immigrants have already learned and gotten the tee shirts!

American Republicans are problematic, but they’re not trying to punish me for having worked my way from the bottom to a nice lifestyle and they’re not trying to get between me and my children or paint me as a bigot for not denying what my eyes tell me about the immutable reality (and beauty) of sex-based differences.

I think this is the crux. But the sound bites coming from the right exacerbate this and many people believe the Dem platform is way more focused on these issues than it really is. Trans people make up a tiny, tiny percentage and their suicide rates are much, much higher than the general population. Can we just try to treat a mistreated group of people nicely even if we don’t understand it?

Dems should take the move towards the right by Miami Dade very seriously and take steps to bridge the gap. I’m amazed that the fear of “Socialism” on the left (which isn’t a thing) isn’t far, far outweighed by the lean towards fascism and fraud on the Right which *only* has a fear-based platform with zero answers to the problems they keep screaming about.

Feel free to take your children to drag Queen story hours so that what you admit is a small part of the population will not commit suicide.

May someone be looking out for your DCs' welfare as you certainly are not.
