Florida dem turnout is terribly low. The reason is the democratic party is running a republican against DeSantis and a cop against Marco Rubio, so quite a few people are not really motivated to vote for either of them. The party message has been “try to reach out to your republican friends and convince them to vote against fascism” which, loving  at that stupid poo poo.

they actively work to smother any progressive candidates. the local party endorsed a property developer that changed his party affiliation when he moved into my county from south florida over the actual local progressive who wanted to do good things for people instead of just handing all of the city’s money to developers and police.

Stultus Maximus posted:It’s bound to be a factor but determining the extent will require real analysis over weeks and months. After all, Florida killed a lot of their base but the GOP is stronger than ever there. FL is gerrymandered as gently caress with probably one of the worst in the country and the state democratic party ran a former republican and a cop to try to court republican voters instead of doing anything progressive or trying to actually help people. Running on "DESANTIS/RUBIO BAD" but then having nothing but republican plans/goals is not going to drive voters to the polls. A fuckton of democratic voters in Florida stayed home. Turnout was way low, in part, because there was really nothing on the ballot for most people. The house seats were fixed before the election began and they had the choice of a trump backed republican and a republican for governor.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Florida has an olds replacement rate unmatchable by other snowbird states. It's almost like when people turn 60, a new range of hearing opens up, and people are beckoned by this new frequency to seek out warmth and Jimmy Buffett themed restaurants. This is also true. Something like 200-300k people moved to Florida in the past few years and they're overwhelmingly republican while younger people are fleeing FL in droves, but not to the same extent.
