Florida is all in...we may as well bring back the Confederate flag....At least it would be honest.

My long-serving congressman was gerrymandered out of his district...The Republicans are so entrenched now, that there is no legal path forward to restore good government.

I am so ashamed of what used to be a Democratic stronghold.

That Dem turnout problem in FL? Yes, it was real - and massive. Luckily for Dems, it didn’t really materialize anywhere else.

Between Dems crushing competitive OH/MI/NH/PA/TX House races but dragging in FL/NY, this is the most uneven midterm I’ve ever seen.

They were probably demoralized.
