Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York has said that demonizing “voters of color as white supremacists' will push them further toward President-elect Trump.
As the political left reflects on the 2024 election results, Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., warned that 'vilifying voters of color as white supremacists' will only push them further toward President-elect Trump. 'Popular explanations for the outcome of the election seem to include white supremacy, patriarchy, misogyny…' Torres noted in a post on X.
In recent history, there’s no precedent for an incumbent party winning a presidential election when the percentage of Americans who think the country is on the right track or headed in the right direction is in the 20s. The structural challenge was simply insurmountable,' he added. Torres, who has served in the House of Representatives since 2021 and won another term in office during the 2024 election, has accused the 'far left' of alienating people from the Democratic Party.
There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling,' he added. The lawmaker has also suggested that his side of the political aisle should not push the idea that they suffer from a 'messaging problem.' 'We should expunge from our vocabulary the words: we have a 'messaging problem,'' Torres wrote on X. 'When over 70% of Americans think we are on the wrong track or headed in the wrong direction, that is not a messaging problem. That is reality problem. 'Inflation and immigration are not 'messaging problems.
