🌴🇺🇸 With the Presidential Primaries in Puerto Rico on the horizon, it's crucial to understand the dynamic political landscape of the island and debunk misconceptions surrounding the Puerto Rican electorate.
In this video, we'll delve into the diverse political ideologies represented by Puerto Rican voters, and put to rest the false belief that if Puerto Rico were to become a state, it would automatically lean Democrat.
Why is this important?
It's essential to recognize that Puerto Rico's voters are not a monolith; rather, we embody a spectrum of political beliefs that have national implications. Moreover, Puerto Ricans in the mainland United States, particularly in states like Florida, wield significant electoral influence. Much like Florida, Puerto Ricans are considered swing voters, capable of tipping the scales in favor of either party. We are a pivotal constituency that Democrats and Republicans must actively court.
But the denial of full voting rights to our fellow 3.2 million U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico is a glaring injustice undermining our nation's core principles.
It's time to advocate for Puerto Rico's right to self-determination and fair representation. Join the movement to end 125 years of colonialism and urge Congress to let Puerto Ricans shape their own political future at the ballot box. 🗳️ Don't miss out - subscribe now and visit www.PR51st.com to learn more! #PuertoRicoStatehood #SwingState #Elections #PR51st #Florida #Democrat #Republican

Enough is enough. It's incorrect to identify Puertorricans in the Island as Democrats just because Latin voters in the states identify themselves as Democrats. We are not the same because of our different background.

​@@michaellovetere8033​@michaellovetere8033 most pro statehood voters id themselves as Republicans, and some as Democrats. Although I would id myself as a Republican, I prefer to not do so because I don't have the chance to vote for my President and Commander in Chief. However, we vote in primaries. I don't think we make a difference so far. The main problem with not giving the statehood to Puerto Rico is that it's based on a discriminatory decision taken when it was widely accepted to discriminate against people based on their race. That has changed, we are supposed to have overcome that. It's nonsense to keep that decision.

​@@bradfordparker6639 In 1901, the US Supreme Court ruled on the status of the island territories that came under US administration after the Spanish-American War of 1898. Puerto Rico became an “unincorporated territory”; such statuses was given to territories that were not considered potential states.

I don’t have an issue with Puerto Rico becoming a state. It’s currently a territory and would only need to follow the protocol to become a state. Washington DC on the other hand is another story as it’s designed to be a federal district, not a state. If you’re going to just make the capitol buildings under federal control as some have suggested, then the rest of DC needs to be returned to Maryland where it originated.

My mother was born in Puerto Rico and she married my father who was posted in Puerto Rico during World II and she moved to Kentucky where my father lived. While she was lived she favored the current status. Since then things have changed. There should be a vote now regarding status of Puerto Rico by all Puerto Ricans on the island.

For Puerto Ricans they have the best possible situation, they don’t pay individual federal income taxes which is currently up to 37% of income yet per person they receive the most government assistance back from social security and disability per person. In return they can’t vote for president. I would say most Americans would rather pay no income tax than vote for president. Easy choice. The war of independence was because there was taxation without representation. In Puerto Rico they have No taxation and therefore no representation. A better question should be is do Puerto Ricans want to pay US taxes, vote for president, or 3. Become there own country without US involvement.

Majority of people that vote in Democratic primaries in PR follow the political tradition of the non existent Democratic party of Roosevelt and Kennedy. Many Puertorricans voting in Democratic primaries in the island have no clue of what the Democratic party has become. In moral, ethical issues Puerto Rico is highly conservative. Any day you take a statistically valid poll, and you will see that the vast majority will be against trans, particularly body or hormonal mutilation of kids, the destruction of family as the nuclear core of society, feminism in its present destructive stage of women, pink Marxism in the way of equality of outputs, the peremnial card of racism used as a victimization tool to divide or rationalize the plantation disaster of blacks etc.. Many continental Americans do not understand this and tend to see Puerto Rico using the optics of US Democratic vs Republicans. The old concepts of "left" or "right" is gone in the US and in PR. Best way to understand Puerto Rico (referring to people that live 365 days a yr in the island), is to come and immerse yourself in the island. Otherwise, 99% of the time an outsider will not be able to read the situation.
