Maybe in your world, on in DU, but for the Latin population, the Minutemen has been a huge issue, For a long time nightly on the news in Univision and Telemundo.
Racist vigilante murderers... a source of fear, of feeling persecuted
If you think Hispanics see the Minutemen as a "Little talking point", you are sadly mistaken.
And the man who protected them will not get the Hispanic support. I mean, his numbers are already pathetically low among Hispanics...this "Little talking point" won't help him there.
Who knows, maybe more Latinos than we think are aware of this, and that why they are rejecting him by the millions

You are not a liberal at all...or you're fooling yourself with an incorrect self-view.

I don't presuppose anything; I sent you multiple scholarly definitions and explanations.

Cute characterization, but it is a hell of a thing to aim at 76 House Democrats who also voted Yes

I have been thinking about this today. I want to hear Sanders reasons. There have been other votes

How terrible of Sanders to smear himself by voting to support the racist Minuteman Group
