Or was it always that way? :astronaut-2: :astronaut-1:
It makes sense that Florida is full of climate change deniers because you'd have to to justify living in a place that's about 5 feet above sea level on average
Obama not being what he said he was, followed by Trump winning pretty much sealed the deal. Bernie performed pretty decent in all the red areas Obama won, and might've been able to win the state in 2016, but once Trump won and DeSantis realized how popular the MAGA shit was, that was it. Libs, in their typical fashion have moved farther to the right into the space republicans have made for them with covid and everything else going on. And this current election, with Black Lives Matter embossed Rainbow Flags on their lawns, thousands of them happily voted for a fucking cop. So yeah, things are fine here.

I'm only on this site to ctrl+f my name every day rlly
Remember there were protests against the vote counting in FL during the 2000 election.
I doubt the language of “battleground state” existed as nothing more than the name of the media circus show casing the gradual Ls that stacked until newslibs processed it as the new normal.
Disney World, EPCOT and Miami

This place has always been The Heart of Darkness
The Latino voters got more affluent and ditched the Democrats. So much for "demographics is destiny"
Weren't they always affluent? Every rich Latin American right-winger I've ever known ended up moving to Miami.
Oh that population grew, for sure, but I think that a lot of Latinos that voted Democrat in the past, and weren't the descendants of Cuban slave owners, switched their party affiliation
They moved on and decided NC was the TRUE one true purple state despite republicans running unopposed for like multiple years in a row in a ton of areas :powercry-2: :vote:
NCs cities are pretty blue, but the gerrymandering here makes it completely worthless.
You'll have a metro area of a couple hundred thousand represented by someone 80 miles away living in a 2000 pop town. It's fucking hilarious
Yeah. Keep in mind. DeSantis barely won. That being said, things have shifted in four years.
The point is for them to make the "battleground" somewhere that is completely right-wing so the Democrats have cover to say more racist stuff and promise more evil policies and reject good policies because you have to appeal to the moderate hell-spawn.
it's like texas, which is now and always will be on the verge of purple because that's what gets the libs to send cash money
Beto's gonna win this time, I just took out a 2nd mortgage on my house to support him and you should too! Blue wave 2036! :vote:
Eh pretty much, it was purple back then because both sides were similar enough that you could get away with being vague. It was never blue though. It was Miami Dade and a few other clutch counties.
