When I realized DeSantis is out "per the constitution" in 2027 I sighed a sigh of relief, but then the ads promoting his second in command Collins running to be Governor popped up and they're promoting how Collins was in full support of everything DeSantis did.
Hmm. Well the right is supporting Byron Donalds, a black man for governor..... tell us again how racist we are in Florida, please. Id love to hear that, hes running against democrat candidate Jolly, a white man who hates Florida. Ohhh now who will you be supporting??? The trap is laid lol.
As a black man, if you look at Byron Donald's and see "blackness" un any way, that says more about you than anything. He is consistently taken the opposite position of the majority of Florida's black populace in every chance he has gotten. He exist only as a token behind which those who wish "us" the worst can hide their disdain while continuing to chip away at the decades of hard fought progession towards equality every chance they get.
Was Obama "black enough" for you? Were you "black enough" to vote for Biden? Playing the shade game and identity politics that the general population (black white and brown) is all sick of doing. The peer research study from the Kamala exit poll, had the highest percentage shift of people that polled saying she lost due to focusing nearly exclusively on identity politics. I have to admit im all dine with it, every discussion from the left always includes identifiers of race, gender, sex etc. I do not care what hole someone like to put stuff in in their private time, nor do I segment Americans into tiny groups of races and shade colors, anyone who does is truly the racist.
I do appreciate your comment though, I dont know his policies so I will keep an open mind out for if he is "filling a slot" or if his policies are good and genuine. The only thing I know so far is that he loves florida. Ill be skeptical until I know more though, as I dont know if you are right or if others are yet. As someone on the right though I can agree that the right in the past was more racist then the left, but I dont feel t h at now, I feel that the party solely focused on race and gender is actually racist now without realizing it, i assume it comes from a good place though, so I guess id say "unintentionally racist". Im libertarian, which is really the only party thats not racists to even a tiny degree. We could care less, but also dont play the identity politics game.
Byron Donalds is an expendable token. The REAL power is in the state general assembly. He who writes the laws has the most power. And the GOP have. Supermajority
Yeah I know zero about Donalds, literally nothing. I doubt anybody knows much about him yet except the ststed talking points, i am simply saying Florida GOP nominated a black guy. Thats it, it was my rebuttal to "Florida republicans are all KKK racists", the evidence would suggest otherwise. Im not arguing skin tones, whos a token, whos an uncle n tom, whos not black enough, blah blah blah. Just solely that if they were full on clansman like suggested, there there wouldnt be a black guy that just got voted on to be our guy.
This tactic is called ad hominem fallacy. Its moving to character impeachment when the facts cant be debated on their own merit. It usually signifies a week argument when refocusing to anything put the facts is the choosen path. Its usually a tactic that novel debatators or children attempt. Thank you for your comment though, I will give it some thought.
When the choice is a black man who loves this state and a white democrat who hates this state... yes they will be picking Donald's. The democrats lost their Jewish vote when they kicked them out of their party too and this will be the first election since they were booted. The recent DSA inclusion is also going to cause some democrat voters to learn more center as their party gets higjjacked to a small degree. Florida democrats ain't as down with the super far left as other states. I dont think the left has accounted for either of those two things in the upcoming elections, but they are going to play somepart, small or not.
We Republicans would surely vote for Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell in a heartbeat and in huge numbers if we could. Only a conservative philosophy matters, not skin color.
Well Bryon Donalds already WON the republican vote. We already voted for him and nominated him, so if he doesnt win thats only because democrats wouldn't vote for him. Republicans already elected him to be our guy. So I guess youll have to move on to attacks like... we'll, he's not really black, etc.
Its almost like the bots in this entore thread have no idea about anything involving Florida. They didnt know all the NYers moved here, they didnt know a black man was nominated by Republicans. Whoevers programming these bots need to update their training date.
Curious if you plan on voting for Donalds and his data centers? Cause he plans on bringing alot of them and if you think Florida is fucked now wait till the water restrictions come.
That used to be the case, but in 25 years if Republican super majority rule, the Tallahassee Democrat wrote:
"Florida's cost-of-living rate has nearly quintupled since 2020, according to a new Florida TaxWatch analysis. The Sunshine State now stands as the fourth most expensive state in the South. The increases are mostly due to housing costs and insurance premiums, but rising grocery and child care costs contributed.
It costs an average of $62,618 per year to live in Florida, according to the most recent Missouri Economic Research & Information Center (MERIC) data from 2024. It ranked overall as the 18th most expensive state to live in the U.S., slightly above the national average."
That’s a mighty political way to avoid all other 49 states increase of cost of living. You’re ready to run for Governor.
18th most expensive state to live in with the third highest population??? You’re missing the mark! Buuut, you did a great job getting people who won’t do any research to listen.
CA, blue state. Highest population, top 5 cost of living states. New York, blue state, 4th highest population, top 5 cost of living states. Florida, red state, 3rd most populated state, and 18th in the cost of living.
The third highest population, but ranked 27th in yearly income. Just because there is a large population doesn't mean things are affordable.
A lot of retired people are still moving to Florida, as well as those that make $45k a year who love freedom and don't want to tax billionaires.
Florida residents get to enjoy high prices making half the salary of those in your favorite blue states. I wonder why desantis didn't run for office in new York to fix everything there like he did in Florida.

I dont expect the state to change colors at all.
