    Seems like a far more obvious comparison is Cuba, he doesn’t want to say that because US Cubans have relatives in Cuba.

    Pretty hilarious how all the Desantis fluffers have gone radio silent.

    If DeSantis had just locked himself up in the governor's mansion and kept his mouth shut, he'd be polling 15 points higher and would have millions of dollars to spend.

    Trying to take vote by mail away? Aren't Republicans the ones who expanded it years ago because it helps their elderly voters? Clown party.

    What a racist dog whistle. And from my community, not that that would surprise anyone that knows the community



    “I was born on Buffalo when it was Buffalo,” she likes to say, referring to the days when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was known as Buffalo Avenue.

    Hope Tampa throws that corrupt DeSantis hack out of office. But I have my doubts. The Florida Democratic Party is so inept.

    Andrew Warren needs to declare soon if he's going to run again. The fact that he's hesitating makes me worry. But Hillsborough County itself is still pretty blue. And went a bit red last time but it feels like that was just an aberration or at least I hope.

    Warren announced he is not running. That depresses me

    I can attest from being very involved that they are incredibly disorganized. A lot of it has to do with the fact that the money and the numbers are all located in South Florida. However, Jewish South Florida candidates are never successful statewide because of anti-semitism. Obviously you'd love to have a Bob Graham if such a thing could exist in these days.

    The party has tried to find the moderate I-4 corridor candidate, but Jim Davis, Bill Mcbride, Alex Sink, and Charlie Crist have not worked. You can make critiques out of each one as a candidate. But the record remains. And some were touting Jane Castor who might have never understood as being a good candidate. But that's obviously a dead letter now

    I imagine he sees no point in running when the Fuhrer can simply remove him at any time because of politics.

    This isn't really a DeSantis issue, but it's absurd how poorly structured our tax scheme is here:
