They're trying to cobble together a coalition of groups who are often, at best, tied together loosely. Poor, urban blacks aren't down with the illegal immigrant cause, which is understandable. Hispanics and blacks have all sorts of friction, which has bubbled up in a number of cities. I can only imagine how reparations and kneeling for the national anthem polls with native-born Hispanics, a large percentage of whom have served. The LGBT push within the party plays dismally with both blacks and Hispanics, in general. In addition, the Dems' positions that they tout the most this cycle, like LGBT, free college, open borders, Medicare for all, are mostly aimed at young people, who generally don't show up to vote.
The GOP's share of registered voters may be shrinking, but they're more reliable and it remains to be seen if the Dems will hold onto a majority of Hispanic voters when they cater to other groups in the coalition and go further left on social issues.
