If it makes you feel better, the margin was 3%, better than polls, and that was against some really heavy tomfoolery from the state supermajority and governor. It's one of the worst states for oppression right now.

So... despite the outcome, I'm proud of Florida Dems, I don't want them to give up. Nixon was a hella cool primary choice, too.

    Yeah but fuck Chuck Schumer and the rest of the AIPAC gang for leaving Florida out to dry and focusing on Mississippi.

    I'm writing my Senator today, we can't have Schumer as leader. He's got to go.

    Totally, although if anything money and party backing didn't seem to stop people in some races. I bet we see a democratic Florida within the decade if momentum holds or Congress does something about Citizens United or other things that corrupt the system. But that's somewhat wishful thinking.

    We're gonna keep trying down here! Given the circumstances and how intense voter suppression is here, I can't really be that upset that resources were diverted for Mississippi, but it would be pretty nice to not be completely left out in the cold the moment we get a DSA candidate through the primaries.
