With less than four months until Election Day, a prominent group that advocates for women of color said Joe Biden’s presidential campaign must ramp up its ground game and get-out-the-vote efforts, particularly in battleground states, warning that, if not, the presumptive Democratic nominee could struggle to mobilize key voters. (Snip) “This is our wake-up call. These are the alarm bells we’re ringing,’’ said Aimee Allison, founder and president of She the People. “We’re saying we want to win, but if you listen to the women on the ground we’re not there yet. We must change, evolve, pivot in order to

Of-colors are a natural fit for a senile demented serial groping closet commie.

Much later in the article:
Wendy Smooth, associate professor of women’s, gender and sexuality studies at Ohio State University, called it a “horrible miscalculation’’ on the part of the Biden campaign that She the People feels pushed to “call him out.”
But Smooth, who wasn't part of the She the People survey, said one option for voters of color is "to just stay home."
“I really thought the Democratic Party had heard and had realized the option, but apparently not," Smooth said.

So, thought this was "in the bag" just a few weeks ago for Biden.
Actually, what this shows, people are starting to notice they've been taken for granted by the white Democrat establishment and power-brokers who may be Progressive, but most of the Dem party isn't white, rich and lives on the Coast far away from most of the problems facing many African-American communities, in particular.

Liberals love to talk about people of color. Isn't white a color? Which color is he failing to to reach out too?

In other words, they want more goodies, and Dementia Joe needs to offer "women of color" bigger bribes.

That ain’t nothing. They are falling short on out reach to NASCAR fans, gun owners, deer hunters, fishermen, police officers and their families military members and veterans and working mothers.

The Dems are insulting every Hispanic for not considering a member of the largest minority as a VP candidate.

Kind of like being a conservative and voting for Republicans.

NOW they feel taken for granted? It's like Lucy and the football. How many times do they have to get played at election time, and then back to business as usual. The dems expect POCs to vote for them. As Biden himself said, "you ain't black of you vote for Trump". How much more taken for granted can they be?

#7, that doesn't mean the Hispanics will vote for Trump. The divisiveness is far too deeply ingrained. The answer is, I am afraid ( and I am not a white person) for white voters whose heritage, culture, inheritance and values are on the line have to show up in unprecedented numbers.,

'Biden campaign that it's falling short on outreach'
That's because Biden is kept away from young females.

Maybe it's because mothers care if their children live. Defunding the police in inner cities pretty much guarantees they have have less of a shot at living.

And that is why the dimocrats are pushing for mail in ballots and harvesting.
A pack of cigarettes will buy a vote, as will a bit of marijuana or a bottle of wine.
that is the reality of mail in voting and vote harvesting. Motivated voters are not necessary.

"She the People" is butchered English that only a group of women of color could make up. Joe was the guy who said that's what he wanted so he had better come through or he's just another disappointing white boy of privilege. He does remember saying that doesn't he?

"Women of color".....that's OK, but say "colored women" and probably that is not OK.
Silly-speak by crazy, race-obsessed haters. I'm tired of i.
