The Republican Party, hijacked by far-right extremists and religious fundamentalists, is no longer in a position to win elections the usual way – you know, with detailed and sophisticated policy proposals on how to grapple with the myriad of problems facing the American people. Devoid of such intellectual aspirations, Republican candidates have resorted to the most low-brow and ugly forms of politics – rabble-rousing demagoguery and the scapegoating of minorities.

Donald Trump in particular has made immigrant-bashing a central part of his campaign, blaming the decline of the American middle class and the funneling of new wealth to the top one-tenth of the top one percent of Americans on a nonexistent wave of Mexican immigration (it is in fact declining) and that “they’re killing us economically” (which is an utter He has also been blaming Mexican immigrant for non-existent rises in crime, calling them “rapists and criminals” among other such disgusting and patently false accusations.

In response, immigration activists have vowed to register a million immigrant voters in battleground states to punish Trump and the Republican Party, who have stood silent and complicit as Trump systematically alienates all sections of American society who aren’t white Christian males. They aim to rally a wide reach of Latino support for Democrats in the presidential election and to specifically target key Senate seats in Florida and Illinois. ...

If their plan succeeds, it will be the Republican Party’s worst nightmare. They have fought tooth and nail against a pathway to citizenship and any sort of comprehensive immigration reform for two reasons – first, because they are terrified of the inevitable shift in demographics that will strip white Christians of their socially dominant majority; and secondly, because the xenophobic rhetoric the right-wing employs to prevent said demographic shift from occurring alienates potential Latino voters and drives them into the arms of Democrats, who stand firm by the values of tolerance and inclusion that our nation was founded on and welcome all with open arms. We cannot allow the discrimination of fearful white cowards deny millions of immigrants the opportunity for a new life that our forefathers sought so long ago.

4. THIS is the DEM gound game. THIS is the DEM Party I know.

And this is how DEM grassroots operates.
Organazing, feet on the street, talking to people & making sure they are registered & all docs are legal & proper.

The Latino vote #'s are greater this election than last & will be even greater in 2020.

They are not only going for the next President, they are smart & unified at local & State levels.

They are going for the House & Senate seats as well.
The GOP has run themselves into a corner with no way out.
Good.

8. I'm sure you noticed this isn't a top-down movement within the Party.

13. Reps want to kill unions, because of the feet they provide.

There is a long tradition in my union to vote for the politician that support the needs of the working class. If the Republican is the one, then we support that candidate. Only one Republican has bothered to even speak at our union meeting, and she got our support because she was in support of the working class, and specifically the Postal worker. She lost in her primary to some Christian Coalition asshole.

5. Si, si puede !

Sí se puede is usually translated in English as "It can be done", or "Yes you can".[4] The more literal translation that the United Farm Workers uses is "Yes, it can be done!"[5][6]
