Two special elections coming April 1st. FL - 1 and FL - 6. Both are House races.

Less than two months away. Time to get our heads back into the game.

1. It's Floridahhhh!

Propagated idiots will go for Magats again.

2. Florida's 1st Congressional District is Matt Gaetz's old seat, the reddest district in Florida.

Florida's 6th, Michael Waltz's old seat, who resigned to become Trump's National Security Advisor, is more flippable, but given recent voting trends in the district, it would be an uphill battle. "The district contains over 525,000 registered voters, of whom just over 39% are Democratic, while slightly more than 41% identify as Republican." There are a lot of so-called "Independents" in the district who mostly vote "R." Dems haven't done well there for years.

3. Yeah, the 6th won't happen. 1 will be tough.

[Think. Again.]

4. ANY election is worth our very best effort!

5. I assume only people from District 1 and 6 can vote

[Tickle]

7. Correct. There's one in NY to

I hear that's in a heavy Republican district

[PhilosopherKing]

6. They should run Independents

Who run on Progressive platforms. People like Progressive policies. The Democratic label, not so much.

8. A couple of thoughts

Understanding both republican districts, I can’t help but have my first thought.. can we trust the result? The other, there may be more people feeling that what is happening now is NOT what they voted for.

To me, there’s only one thing we can do, Fight as if our lives depended on it. Plaster social media, call the office of whomever is running, and tell them you’ll donate for them to
-make ads,
-for FB,
-for Instagram,
-for YouTube,
-for streaming services,
-for AM Radio,
-for college radio,
-for mainstream media.

Tell them to get reach out to their local supporters and have them write letters to their town papers

Tell them you want town halls,
Tell them to contact online media to cover these
and go camera in hand-
town to town
one town one night,
the next town the next night.

There’s very little time, and no time to waste.

It’s no joking matter anymore, they need to pound the pavement, roll up their sleeves and fight!
