The Florida Democratic Party is the most disorganized inept of all the state parties. Trust nothing anyone representing it says.

After Texas.

I don’t blame the Texas party, this is the kind of shit they have to deal with: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-redistricting-map-2021-republicans-sued-gerrymandering/

Texans win by any means necessary, but cheating is always preferred, and it’s a lot easier to cheat when you’re the incumbent.

Florida Republicans don’t bother because they learned they could just change it after the voting is done in 2000.

Semi-related question: is anyone else suddenly getting Brooks Brothers ads in podcasts? Or is it just me, because I mentioned the associated riot during the Florida recount a week ago?

Texas Democrats are actually doing an ok job. That state presents an unbelievably hostile environment to operate in. Florida Democrats continue to internally elect and promote corruption and incompetence, rewarding failure and encouraging ignorance.

Gusano Cubans will never vote anything but the most fascist conservative option available, and Trump already has a majority of both white male and female bloks in florida… And that’s without mentioning the corruption in FL’s government.

I think Floridas a terrible play, the only state they shouldn’t sleep on is AZ as it shows in so many winning electoral combos for the Reps

I don’t disagree but making the republicans spend money in Florida also prevents them from spending elsewhere.

No, there is infinite money in Florida, they own the state and half their finance class claim residence there to dodge state taxes and the screwed up laws.

Don’t ante up in rigged games, stay out of the south, it’s their ground and they want you to fight there where they can cheat.

That’s right, Senator Rick Snot and Governor Ron DeathSentence have Florida’s entire healthcare budget to steal on campaigning. The Senate seat might be in reach but the electoral votes aren’t forseeable right now, so money should be spent accordingly.

Well I don’t live there and I haven’t been through the south for over 20 years so I’ll take your word on it. But I don’t like to give anywhere I believe in a full ticket run and maybe a serious run at Florida by the top of the ticket can’t win but could help turn some purple districts a bit more blue. And the Presidency is worth much more than the podium unless she’s got the house too.

Some recent polls put florida at only trump+2 or trump+3 . There’s a rather realistic case where polling error underestimating dems by 2% or more could make it a tight race

Polling errors over estimating republican by that much have happened in the past. In 2012, republicans were overestimated for president by on average by 2.5%

Doesn’t FL also have an abortion ballot initiative and a recreational cannabis ballot initiative this election?

They’ve also killed a bunch of old Republicans because of the anti-vax thing.

They import them faster than they die, even with Covid.

The main thing though is that anyone who says they know how Florida is going to turn out, is lying. No one knows, so the best strategy is to let Trump fail rather than put effort into beating him there. He’s already pissed off the Haitians and women, goad him into pissing off the Cubans and let the chips fall where they may.

Miami-Dade Democrats want more DNC funding diverted to them.

I doubt it’s in play, but even so it’s probably not a worthy bet unless the map looks super wonky blue.

Play the smart game, never send money down south unless you’re sure, that’s how blue always loses.

Remember when Clinton decided she should dump millions in Texas and then decided to blame everyone except her campaign for losing?
