I honestly don’t think Florida’s a swing state anymore. Since desantis took office and designated it an anti-vax safe haven during covid, I think it swung much further right. This is probably a waste of resources.
You got a dip shit like DeSantis whose War On Woke cost Florida tax payers millions for nothing. And you also have dipshit pedo Matt Gaetz who is proud to pay for underage sex workers and still has a job.
Flipping will just unwind Florida's BS to circa 2015 and will take years of recovery before they can rebuild.
On the other hand, designating your state full of obese and old people as a COVID haven has one pretty serious drawback.
You are incorrect, FL is swinging further left exactly because of DeSantis and abortion and book bans and education and even Disney. Jacksonville demonstrated the Dems can win in what everyone mistakes for a red region.
Normally I would agree, but with the GOPs attacks on women’s rights and Florida taking it to an extreme, I do believe there is a path to victory there for Democrats.
Florida is not a swing state. It’s red. Vox did a good video on the why.
