It's been that way for twenty or so years. Each time we have someone who could do it they end up moving on their own political ambitions. We are in a bad spot in Florida. Our issue is organization.

I like Crist. Voted for him. He is my representative. The Crist of today is worlds different than the Crist of ten years ago.

Any Democrat right now is going to struggle against DeathSantis. It's not about the person. It's about the organization.

Additionally, someone best get into Dade County to figure out what the f is going on. The Proud Boys are turning the youth of the area against us, there was no real investigation into the clearly shady vote there in the last election, and we have taken the area for granted.
