I'm one extra democrat vote in Florida that wasn't there last time.
Right on, man. Give 'em hell.
No. Give them affordable healthcare. Give them tax reform. Give them housing. Give them education. Give them peace.
Improve their lives and give them a reason to not just vote for the 'R' on the ballot. Worst case, you'll improve your own life...
Everyone having those things seems to be what republicans imagine hell is.
You mean, drag them into the 21st century kicking and screaming while they hate and curse you?
Yep.
So...give them hell?
Who do you think is preventing those things‽ It's not democrats who keep trying to dismantle the AMA, it's not Democratic governors refusing funds to feed kids, it's not democrats acting all 4th Reich like! They have tons of issues and in a different world I would be calling out their shenanigans but right now way way waaaaay to much is at stake.
They should hit Texas hard. Margins for victory get smaller every cycle and millions of registered voters stay home every cycle.
Yeah, I agree. Florida is kind of a lost cause right now because of all the more conservative retirees moving in all the time. Texas is at least getting bluer.
There's been a lot of Republicans leaving states with Democratic governments for Texas. They tipped 2018 for Cruz, while Beto won the native Texan vote.
The Florida DNC is full of double agents. That’s why it can’t ever not fuck itself over. Florida is a top state when it comes to under handed bs.
It’ll be interesting to see how Debbie Powell campaigns against Rick Scott. Her early messaging is pretty weak, and her team is obviously trying to tie her in to the abortion amendment that might make the ballot (which is probably a mistake).
But there’s a lot to dislike about Rick Scott, so they have room to grow into a coherent message. Which would be a nice change of pace from the Florida Democratic Party, which can never seem to get out of its own way.
She faces very long odds in general, but especially given the party migration that’s happening in Florida the last few years. Here’s hoping she can put up the good fight and make Rick actually work for it for a change.
If their senate candidate is as bad as fucking charlie crist was for governor they'll never win in florida. That election was a shit show
Yeah, when I lived in Florida NONE of the races had good Democrats. They weren't even Democrats half the time: Crist was a registered Republican until 2010. Fuck I'm glad I escaped that shithole.
At least it’s not that bad this time. No idea how she’s gonna go over in Miami, which may prove to be a weak spot depending how her campaign sells her, but at least she’s not quite as weak as Ol Chuckles.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But that means President Joe Biden’s party’s top opportunities to play political offense in Senate races are coming in America’s largest reliably red state and a onetime quintessential battleground that has moved decidedly to the right in recent years.
Dallas mother Kate Cox made national headlines when she was recently forced to leave Texas to terminate a non-viable pregnancy after Republican officials argued she didn’t qualify for an exception to its near total abortion ban.
Montana Sen. Steve Daines, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the party’s campaign arm, said “the Democrats, we know, are going to dump millions of dollars (in) out-of-state money to buy those two seats” in Florida and Texas, but he believes Scott and Cruz are strong incumbents.
“Debbie Mucarsel-Powell clearly doesn’t want Floridians to know that she fully supports the Biden agenda that’s devastating Florida families,” Scott campaign spokesman Jonathan Turcotte said, referring to issues including inflation and an influx of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Some folks say a Democrat can’t win in Texas and I say, ‘Well someone like me was never supposed to make it this far anyway,” said Allred who was raised by a single mother, played linebacker in the NFL and was a civil rights attorney before flipping a Republican congressional seat in 2018.
The Democrats’ Senate campaign arm is including Texas and Florida in an investment worth at least $1 million on research and communications staffers across nine total states tasked with highlighting potential weaknesses of the GOP candidates.
