A Florida area known for being a "hotbed of Trump support" is reportedly seeing a bump in enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.
As Trump and Harris gear up to face one another in November's election, each candidate has made an effort to make inroads on the territories typicall.....
Wear diapers if you have to (I'm serious. I guarantee the wait times in republican run areas is going to be atrocious long), stay in line (if you are in line they have to let you vote by law), and #VOTE!
This makes for a good headline but it should not stop you from voting. It was indeed a nice turnout for Harris at The Villages, but that place is not only a cesspool, it is a fucking ginormous cesspool. That group is tint compared to the overall population of that shit hole.
SOURCE: I split my time between Wyoming and Florida amd my Florida home is unfortunately just a few exits of I-4 away from that fascist lemon party.
People are enthusiastic to vote when the party listens to them.
The party had it ass-backwards. "Vote for us and maybe we'll do what you want. But we both know we're not gonna" generates no enthusiasm at all. To the contrary, the longer that voting yields the same disappointing results, and the more that people see that the party isn't interested in anything other than preserving an untenable status quo, the more that this messaging results in apathy and resentment.
"Fine. We'll do what you want." HAS generated enthusiasm.
Look, it's great that she's doing well but I hope that she won't do what Hillary did and actually believe she's got a snowball's chance in fucking hell to win down there and screw over herself and America by trying to win over a place that's a pipe dream.
I'm not going to believe Florida flips, but man, stranger things have happened. Imagine what happens if that happens? Or somehow Texas or something. GOP would fucking lose it.
(But yes, let's not get crazy, she's not exactly winning every poll. I just like to wonder.)
I’m hoping she can at least turn some of the red districts of red states purple, flip the already purple areas to blue, and then the blue districts (urban areas) will stay blue.
Far right Florida isn't as red as people think. DeSantis barely won. He had to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of black voters to win by a sliver. Then he rigged everything to make sure he'd get reelected the second time.
Don’t forget we now have to ask for mail in ballots yearly if that’s your thing. (Edit: I mean in Florida, also, we can check to ensure ours has been counted. Check with your county’s elections to see if you can sign up online or if you have to go in person or whatever to sign up for mail in ballot.)
I get them and just turn them in at a polling location especially because the best I get on election day is I don’t have to stay too long after students leave.
