Latinos and Socialism

[LeftofLeft]

Latino wave put Bernie Sanders on top in California

I don't get it. Latino immigrants and/or their near recent relatives (e.g. grandparents) fled failing socialist economies in Central and South America for a better life here in the US. In the US, a better life means a strong middle class and economic opportunity to move up.

Why, then, would any Latino in his or her right mind want the US to head in any economic direction of Latin America like Bernie is proposing??

LOW IQ, America was the only place that was created by hard work. 1961 less then 1 million Latinos lives here.. it wasn’t until welfare became easily assessable that they came in droves.

Intelligent Latinos are incredible capitalists.

I am head of a Latino household. With the exception of Cubans, most of the Latino liberals I know and read about are pushing policies that helped to create the very conditions (in some cases, shit holes) they fled from. I am not trying to sell them on voting conservative, I am just questioning why they would find the extreme policies Bernie is pushing. He defends Venezuela for chrissakes.

Simple, the ones that are voting for Bernie are not the ones that escaped the hell hole their parents or grandparents left.

This is second generation voters and most likely being told by their parents and grandparents they are morons...
