[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the Republicans are sweeping in to leverage Asian American discontent.  15 states’ AGs supporting Miyares.

Self inflicted D wound. [/quote]

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like Republicans are only going to chip away at the traditional Asian-American support for Democrats among certain segments - primarily some (not all) of the higher-income Indian, Chinese, and Korean-American voters.  If anything, it seems like more middle and low-income Vietnamese, Filipino, and Pakistani kids will probably get into TJ under the new policy, especially given that the size of the TJ classes were expanded to 550 students.   [/quote]

Keep hoping.  TJ is just one issue.  Asians have been subject to increased street crimes in the Pandemic years and graphic images of grandmothers being beaten up are etched in people’ minds.  The law and order message will resonate with Asians of all ethnicities as well.  [/quote]

“Law and order” messages are nearly always crafted with the intent of weaponizing racial animus against Black and Hispanic people.

So yes, it would not surprise me if those resonate with a certain segment of Asian-Americans given what you hear from parent groups at TJ.[/quote]

Hispanic people are keeping the Rs in power in FL. I don’t think the Ds are a great judge of what Hispanics want anymore. [/quote]

False. White people and Cubans are keeping Rs in power in Florida. Cubans are uniquely [b]vulnerable[/b] to anti-socialism messaging because of their experiences with the Castro regime. [/quote]

Lol, what a word choice.[/quote]

It was intentional. Much of conservative messaging has the heavy lift of convincing people to act against their self-interest at the voting booth.[/quote]

This is a real elitist response - that they’re dumb and you know better than them about what good for them. Or maybe you should consider you don’t understand blue collar workers and maybe the Ds aren’t offering them anything they want. [/quote]

PP. The Ds are focusing on the wrong aspects of their platform in messaging and are getting pounded by Rs who understand that fear is the greatest motivator and will cause people to overestimate threats against their safety - or in this case, their education preferences - in order to vote against their total self-interest.

Case in point: one of the two complainants identified by the Coalition as being irreparably harmed by the new admissions process has two other daughters - one of whom was admitted by the old admissions process, the other of whom was admitted by the new admissions process. You can't make this stuff up.[/quote]
