I can't imagine how tempting it must be to walk away from the backwards, hick states and leave them to their own devices...
Sadly, that would cause suffering to untold innocents. No child chooses to be born to ignorant, shitty parents, but they'll be swept up in the damage done
I'm damned if I know what the solution is
This has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the Democrats own failures. Florida is home of AIPAC Democrats like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, known for kneecapping Bernie in 2016 & for her other corruption. Democrats didn't offer the people in Florida anything unique compared to Republicans.
Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are not serious candidates. They're not going to make the country better, instead will introduce a whole set of other problems. These candidates gain power by votes as a form of protest. In a hypothetical, going to fascism from liberalism to communism does not improve the country in a weighted average, instead it will get worse. I have a hypothesis as to why democrats can't dominate Florida. That is, tax and spend policies does not work in Florida. It is a low tax state, probably for good reason, because much of the state is in a hurricane zone. It has a semi-retirement atmosphere. You would be paying high taxes on top of housing costs if you implemented a New York style taxes. Florida style taxation is tax things that are tourist related, to keep taxes low for the rest of the locals.
