Actually, Florida your still did well it was very close and looks like there were some changes in state legislature that might make it easier in 2028.
This meme perfectly captures my mood down here in NW Florida. At one point the Senate and Governor races were neck and neck and I had hope.
OP: You can add Mississippi in there if the D candidate wins. They’re ahead by 34 votes ATM. And no, I didn’t leave off a zero.
If it makes you feel better, the margin was 3%, better than polls, and that was against some really heavy tomfoolery from the state supermajority and governor. It’s one of the worst states for oppression right now.
So… despite the outcome, I’m proud of Florida Dems, I don’t want them to give up. Nixon was a hella cool primary choice, too.
Yeah but fuck Chuck Schumer and the rest of the AIPAC gang for leaving Florida out to dry and focusing on Mississippi.
I’m writing my Senator today, we can’t have Schumer as leader. He’s got to go.
I already wrote to my senators about Schummer and representative about Jeffries.
They already showed what they are capable, if they are selected all of this will be wasted.
Totally, although if anything money and party backing didn’t seem to stop people in some races. I bet we see a democratic Florida within the decade if momentum holds or Congress does something about Citizens United or other things that corrupt the system. But that’s somewhat wishful thinking.
We’re gonna keep trying down here! Given the circumstances and how intense voter suppression is here, I can’t really be that upset that resources were diverted for Mississippi, but it would be pretty nice to not be completely left out in the cold the moment we get a DSA candidate through the primaries.
Dade county having almost 20 polling stations get moved last minute is incredibly shitty
It was 0.1% difference at one point
Honestly it gives me hope and it’s weird we finally get to show just how purple every state really is, though.
IIRC Angie Nixon said she is running again for the same seat in two years. The term is only 2 years long because it is replacing Marco Rubio.
Glad to see the perseverance. I’m rooting for her.
She damn well should, we need her in the federal government
Oklahoman here feel the pain. Got excited for second when our Dem governor was in the lead, but then saw only 11% reporting. Oklahoma fuck just loves to disappoint. Fucking dumb fucks around here.
Hand recount. Don’t trust Florida of all states given their history.
Chad demands a recount!
Yeah with how easy it is to arbitrarily invalidate ballots for having a non-matching signature, there are no fair elections down here.
Well that would be a cute reason to reject it all you need to rebuke that is the person to certify with a witness, my state just does that automatically when you check in.
That’s just a ploy to get Elon Musk to move again, this time to FL, before November 2028.
Don’t forget about Tennessee! We’re keeping Squidward company!
I think everyone believed Tennessee was going to keep Squidward company
I had hopes for Pearson, they gerrymandered Memphis so hard his potential district literally stretched to the Nashville suburbs.
Florida is looking kinda swingey this time
dint some seats in florida go to Dems this term. should it be Tennesee, since miss Marsha blackburn is likely to retain her seat.
They did and the races were pretty close,most on AP were ~3%.
With enough money and the correct candidates Florida might be in play in 2028 provided the dems don’t collectively step on their crank
At least they elected a black democratic Governor.
Nope, Florida elected a black Republican governor. And he’s a real piece of shit too.
Super Trumpy. He was one of the leaders in the inter-GOP fight, on the pro-Trump/anti-DeSantis side. I guess at least it wasn’t Fishback’s Nazi ass 🤷
Mixing it up with Georgia, unfortunately.
