For women its blatant misogyny, rollbacks on women's health issues, blocking laws to promote equal pay, hurting family leave, and did I mention infringements on reproductive rights? For Latinos its DACA, unfair targeting of Latinos by law enforcement, keeping kids in cages, and attacking their communities as criminal enterprises. For "blacks" you may not be paying attention to Black Lives Matter and the massive protests going on around the nation? Biden may not thoroughly excite them, but voting against Trump and Republicans across the country sure does.
That, I think, is the key factor. After the election, it will also be a question of whether or not they accept the legitimacy of any negative results.
