I think that Joaquin is saying that non-Latino leftists, perhaps with
exceptions of certain sorts of labor and religious leftists, had
_nothing_ to do with the momentum building over the last several years
in the Latino communities or the spring mobilization or continuing
local organizing after that, which proves the irrelevance (barring a
shift in the near future) of the general run of leftists, in his view,
to where it's at and, more importantly, _where the future will be,
given demographic trends_.
