Black People Politics : Democrats' Plan to take back White House: #swingleft

[Discerning]

Joe Biden is not a Radical. He is a Centrist Democrat.

This is the news media. and in particular, the Associated Press, focusing on the loudmouths on the Left such as AOC and her two wingnuts. Unlike Bernie, Biden is not promoting Socialism.

And Biden is not pushing Defund The Police.

Joe Biden represents Fairness, which is really what this country needs. Not to be pulled to the edge of either side by intolerant extremists.

This only a snapshot of where we are at the end of November 2020. Things will be different as a hopeful tone settles over the Blue States.

Biden has little to worry about from Rural America. We should probably refer to it as the Midwest and small town America.

Do not think for a moment people who live in these regions are thrilled with Trump's handling of the pandemic. Most voted for Trump out of habit because they're lifelong Republicans. Those states are always red. And Republicans in those states loathe any Democrat.

That was one news story delivering a pessimistic view. Here's another, this one from nbcnews dot com, which tells us something different:

It's about Daniel Cordova, a 29-year old gay mayor of West Wendover in northern Nevada. The town is in Nevada's Elko County.

"This year, while Elko County remained a Republican stronghold, Democratic candidates, — from the presidential election to a county commissioner’s race — won in West Wendover, making it the only city in the deep red county to go blue. Though the margin was narrow, residents and city officials believe the results reflect increased voting by the community’s younger Latino residents whose beliefs lean left — similar to other states around the country where that demographic led Democrats to victory."

Nevada does go Blue most of the time. So, no surprise there. But the difference Latino voters make is now going to be a permanent factor.

Deep in Trump country, Nevada’s first openly gay, Latino mayor leads a blue-leaning city

“It just goes to show you that rural America and rural Nevada aren’t just monoliths," said Daniel Corona, mayor of West Wendover.
