Four of the leading Democratic candidates\u2014and Julian Castro\u2014decided to begin the inevitable road to pandering to the Latino community. This is a bit surprising, as three of the candidates\u2014Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Amy Klobuchar\u2014are old white people, and Kamala Harris prefers to see Latinos on the other side of steel bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aspiring presidential candidates attended the recent UnidosUS conference, the largest meeting of Latino advocacy groups. UnidosUS, formerly known as the National Council of the Race (translated), presents itself as a Latino union, but in reality, it’s just a far-left activist organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being a Latino group, the people who really took the stage were the three old white people. Biden and Sanders both knew why they were there; Bernie to shill for donations and Biden to lose the presidency yet again, but Klobuchar is a mystery. Like the reason why she abuses<\/a> staffers<\/a>, nobody knows why Klobuchar is still in the race. She polls at two percent, getting beaten by both Andrew Yang and Beto O\u2019Rourke.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is indicative of a larger problem within the Democratic Party: the incessant desire to pander to every special interest group. This is particularly apparent in their toxic dividing of Americans by race and gender, rather than appeal to a platform that embraces all Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n
