Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Nobody likes republicans in south Florida except for the few weirdos and fucking losers.

The polls are STILL a bunch of shit

I’m happy the D line is going up, but the truth is, nobody knows what’s gonna happen.

Note, even if she is unlikely to win the state, she could force them to campaign there a little and divest resources from places that are leaning blue. Nobody wants to take a "safe" state for granted after 2016.

I get the idea of forcing Trump to waste resources in Florida, but really, the state has just been getting redder, and we don't want to repeat the Hillary playbook.

Shore up support in the actual battleground states and the weaker "lean Dem" states (e.g., New Hampshire). 270 is all you need.

Did you see the article about Kamala Harris at The Villages? She got a good response. And no state is pure red nor pure blue. People change.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 3 months ago (8 children)

She has had good turnout in events but don't let that fucking fool you. Florida is mostly republican but not like 90% - you can find plenty of die hard liberals in the state.

I'm not saying it's impossible but don't hold your fucking breath.

We voted for Obama, twice. Florida is more purple than most believe.

50% of those republic voters found out that SCOTUS intends for them to make babies, fetch sandwiches, and shut up about their opinions.

The percentage of women who are cool with that is vanishingly small.

I wouldn’t be so sure.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I think you'll depressingly find the number of women who are okay with it is surprisingly large - the GOP is basically embracing tradwife bullshit at this point and it seems to still get the majority of conservative women.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I agree. There are also more and more younger voters. Not saying they are all going to vote blue, but far more of them are.

As a diehard leftie who is unfortunately stuck in Florida for this election season, I will absolutely be voting for Kamala.

Kamala Kamala, Kamala, Kamala Kamala!

But what's the voter turnout like? My brother lives in Florida and he proudly doesn't vote.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Allegedly 77% in 2020 according to the FL government. I assume that's among registered voters though, not all eligible.

Hope so, but he is up +7 in the poll in the article.
