Can we just give Florida back to Spain?

All seems to be lost here (I'm not joking, I'm serious).

I don't have a Democratic representative, State or Federal. I don't' have a Democratic Senator, State of Federal. Purple State, my ass!

Just give Florida back to Spain & let them sort it out or better yet give Florida back to the Seminole Indians.

That's my gripe for today.

outlets, usually in major cities. I happen to be in North Central Florida. My main outlets are Gainesville (ch 20) and Jacksonville (4 & 12). Desantis is on tv virtually every day, pushing his insane agenda. These staged propaganda pieces are always covered with rarely any pushback or fact checking. It's nuts.
We now have a new surgeon general who refuses to say whether or not he has been vaccinated. Imagine that.

I used to have hope. Not anymore.

We have just as many rednecks here as you do in North Florida (they are like mosquitos; you swat one & there's three more).

I’m here and like you have r senators, governor n local n federal reps. It’s ruby red here. I do not want to succeed to anything. We have work to do n granted, it’s a mighty big job but we can’t give up. My family has been here over 100 years now.. we are good Dems in a sea of red but..just can’t do that. May I just say..I know you’re exasperated n I admit there have been times.. but all ok..gotta work for change. Never, ever give up

That would nudge the remaining larger portion of the state toward a more reliably blue status!
