Just saw a sticker on a van: DeSantis 2024, Make America Florida.

I'm fairly sure that large parts of America don't want to be Florida.

Western Washington at any rate. The Evergreen State is a piece of Heaven, not a piece of shit.

Ground Zero for climate change disasters and home to DeSantis Insanity.

I don't think we have had a fair election since 2000 - meaning since RepuQs took over the state starting with Jeb Bush.

The best we here in the state can do is to be an example of what has gone wrong in this country - blatant gerrymandering, rigged elections, and authoritarian government.

No.

He campaigned in part on making Wisconsin the Florida of the north. Didn't go over so well for him.

it just can't compare with Florida in weirdos per capita.

than because they like DeSantis. I don't think he'll be able to use his dorky persona to sell his fascist policies nationally. I hope.

you might think it was facetious, but since it was in FL, you can't really know. what am i missing

refuse to spend money in Republican states, but it's my childhood's friend's birthday and I could not say no.

same way.

if the party is willing to invest.

There are so many gettable voters but they just don't show up to vote. The 2022 election had about a 53% overall turnout. Out of 14 million registered voters, about 7.7 million showed up and voted.

Miami-Dade county went red in 2022, but a clear majority, 53-54%, of the county didn't even bother showing up to vote.

After 2018, the party seemed to have made the calculation that they will not invest so much in Florida. I get it. It's expensive to campaign in Florida.

Republicans invested in Florida over a number of years and election cycles, and it's clearly paying off. Lat the last few years, Democrats have been nowhere to be found in Florida. Democrats have not been there to counter the Republican presence. If you ever expect to win a state, you have to show up.

I think the same goes for Texas. Investing in Texas is worth it in the long run because it's trending in our direction. Even though it seems useless now, our foot has to stay on the pedal.

This isn't about just the Presidential elections but Senate and House elections as well. If we don't invest to expand our footprint, we'll thin majorities of 1 or 2 seats will be our future.

The national level.
