>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is criticizing members of her own party who have argued using gender-neutral language to describe members of the Hispanic American community is bad for the Democratic Party’s brand.
>“I also have a mini-rant about this because there are some politicians, including Democratic politicians, that rail against the term ‘Latinx.’ And they’re like, ‘This is so bad, this is so bad for the party,’ like blah blah blah. “And like it’s almost like it hasn’t struck some of these folks that another person’s identity is not about your re-election prospects,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a video message posted to her Instagram account. “Gender is fluid, language is fluid, and I think people right now are using the ‘e’ term as gender-neutral in order to be as inclusive as possible."
>Some Democrats have been using more gender-neutral language in reaching out to Hispanic voters, multiple pollsters and political observers have noted in recent months. A recent Politico poll conducted among Hispanic voters found 40 percent indicating the term “Latinx” bothers or offends them to some degree and 30 percent said they would be less likely to support a politician or organization that uses the term.
>In a March guest essay in The New York Times, Republican political consultant and a co-founder of the Lincoln Project Mike Madrid noted that an internal debate among Democrats about inclusive language could drive Hispanic voters to the Republican Party. “Commonly used by media, political and academic elites as a sign of gender inclusivity, ‘Latinx’ is virtually nonexistent in the communities it refers to,” Madrid wrote. “Members of the Democratic Party don’t just live in a distinct cultural bubble removed from the realities of their blue-collar counterparts; they are so removed from the rapidly growing Hispanic working class that many of them are now literally speaking a different language.”
>Late last year, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Texas) said his office is not allowed to use the term “Latinx” in official communications.
>“When Latino politicos use the term it is largely to appease white rich progressives who think that is the term we use,” he said. “It is a vicious circle of confirmation bias.”
>“If putting a little ‘x’ on your campaign literature is the difference between winning and losing an election, you need to talk about healthcare more, you need to raise people’s wages. You need to talk about more issues that also matter to people,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

Bentley Anderson
This retarded shit is enough to prove she doesn't come from a poor background. ESPECIALLY she, being a spic herself, knows damn well most spics LOATHE that tranny bullshit term.
Michael Smith
Oh were democrats ever going to do anything about any of those issues? No, they're going to appoint a senile geriatric who's actually personally caused a lot of these problems himself and tells voters to their faces he's not going to do shit to fix them? Enjoy nobody ever voting democrat ever again.
William Reed
AOC is exactly the sort of personality centrist Democrats who get elected outside of cities hate
Nolan Bennett
LatinX is what Hispanics get for voting Democrat. One day, they're pandering to you, giving you free shit, and encouraging you to rub it in whitey's face. The next day, they show up with a list of demands and start critiquing your culture to death.
Carter Watson
As a spic if I hear anyone using that in my family I'm reaching across the table and smacking them back across the border.
Aaron Cox
there is no political solution
Christian Lopez
She has a point. "Latinx" is ungrammatical. It should be either "Latinxo" or "Latinxa."
Levi Harris
>what about the ChinX And don't forget the FilipinX
yes, that's why sometimes you say "latino" and sometimes you say "latina".
is she fucking retarded?!
Jordan Gonzalez
I give chicanos 1 generation before they start using Latinx and start importing that shit here
Hunter Parker
This is what the system replaced Bernie with. This isn’t politics, she’s playing a character. It’s theater.
Nathaniel Sanchez
I think deciding to be regressive on childrens' rights has more to do with the Mexicans bailing on them than the letter "X". Non-autists just use the term "Hispanic."
Leo Brooks
>Democrats run the narrative for years that Republicans want to deport half of spics and use klansman sorcery to turn the rest into gringos and force them to speak English >Republicans still get 30-35% of the spic vote >A few Democrats say Latinx, 3 trannies are seen competing in women's sports >Almost every single citizen with at least a quarter Spanish ancestry leaves the Democratic party in a massive exodus Spics crack me the fuck up, kind of like how in 2020 when the first stimulus checks came, niggers on twitter started breaking down in tears because Trump sent them more money than their fathers ever did. Reality is stranger than fiction.
Joshua Gonzalez
Democrats again proving that no opposition party can do more damage to them than the idiots in their charismatic lunatic fringes. These retards think that their coastal bullshit niche issues are popular outside of their own zip codes, and will gladly start political civil wars to enshrine their ideas as party doctrine.
Thomas Mitchell
Checked. That's her actual job. She's an actress in the seat of a politician. All democrats are and 90% of Republicans are.
