I still can’t believe the people of Florida elected Scott. What a creep. Bill Nelson is a good, good man. When I lived in Florida, Nelson was my state representative and representative in Congress. Florida will live to regret this
Trust me, we worked hard here in FL to try to overcome the baked-in GOP voter suppression et al. No one’s more depressed about all this than me.
But I do remember when I moved here in 2014, with a midterm election coming up, that more than half of the races for state office were GOP unopposed. That’s how far the Dems here had sunk. Four years later and at least we’re competitive, including a black progressive in a southern state.
And here’s a small bright light: Nikki Fried won in the recount. Ag Commissioner is no small potatoes, folks!
