I haven’t had the initiative to go check on my own, but I wonder how the #Persistance weirdo who was literally Gay For Trump has handled the singe biggest Republican elector defeat since Watergate? Did he spin it into a “well, look at this one seat Republicans flipped red—AND ONLY THIS SEAT, IGNORE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY!” or has he slipped into depression over it?

So since I’m not even American maybe I haven’t followed this enough but why is AOC the second coming of socialist Jesus?

Is it just that she is young, smart and progressive or do we know more about her?
(All those things are very good things)

Please don’t read anything into this besides curiosity. I’m not questioning anything about her but it’s like there’s a lot of people saying AOC for president and that she’s the country’s future.

There are lots of Democrats who say socialist things. They are also all millionaires who live in gated communities and get massive donations from big corporations. AOC says socialist things and happens to not be a millionaire who gets massive support from corporations, so people tend to think she actually believes in what she says instead of just being the same old corporate stooge politician.

Broward County is too dumb to vote.

Seriously, if Alachua (perennially drunk) and Collier (illiterate swamp people) can figure it out the elderly New Jerseyans that populate Broward have no excuse.

Florida will be mostly underwater and uninhabitable in due time as a direct result of their voting habits. That is going to be their punishment.

A hand recount isn't all ballots, just ones that have markings the machine couldn't interpret.

Well Florida was always gonna be a happy bonus, none of us should have expected Nelson to pull out a win.

But with how much Scott kicked and screamed you'd think there was something hiding in the hand recount but I guess not.
