Toss some money at it and remind women in Florida that even if they get the abortion initiative passed, if the Republicans win, they will ban it nationally.

If anything, Trumps ego to win the state he now calls home will make him spend way too much money there.

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 the media thought Hillary could win Florida and she still got absolutely trounced there? Dems would be straight up stupid to spend a dime there.

Never ante up to a rigged game. The south is as crooked as it gets.

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.

It’s the FL JV GOP

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.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago

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.

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.

Orrrrrr… VOTE ANYWAY

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?

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 4 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 hours ago

They indeed do

This appears to be paywalled.
