IIRC Angie Nixon said she is running again for the same seat in two years. The term is only 2 years long because it is replacing Marco Rubio.

    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.

    This meme perfectly captures my mood down here in NW Florida. At one point the Senate and Governor races were neck and neck and I had hope.

    OP: You can add Mississippi in there if the D candidate wins. They're ahead by 34 votes ATM. And no, I didn't leave off a zero.

    Hand recount. Don't trust Florida of all states given their history.

    Yeah with how easy it is to arbitrarily invalidate ballots for having a non-matching signature, there are no fair elections down here.

    Oklahoman here feel the pain. Got excited for second when our Dem governor was in the lead, but then saw only 11% reporting. Oklahoma fuck just loves to disappoint. Fucking dumb fucks around here.

    Actually, Florida your still did well it was very close and looks like there were some changes in state legislature that might make it easier in 2028.

    That's just a ploy to get Elon Musk to move again, this time to FL, before November 2028.
