What last night's RNC convention made clear: The GOP is making an effort to go after voters of color. We've been saying for ages that this election will be won and lost on the margins.
Their strategy is not to actually win the majority of these voters, but rather to shave enough off the margins or get enough of us to stay home. We've seen this plain + simple in how they've tried to discredit Biden with voters of color - seeding doubt and "both sidesism"
They are using race and nativism as a cudgel to divide black and brown voters. These small margins can add up to to a path to victory in critical states like NV, AZ, FL, NC.
Dems and progressive cannot take any voter of color for granted. This will require we go beyond the usual universes of who we talk to. And this cannot wait until the end of last weeks of GOTV.
Over the spring and summer we've been outspent on TV and digital reaching Latinx voters and we have a lot of catching up to do. This should be a clarion call to donors and others to move resources to ensure this work can get done now and into this last 74 days.
