Fellow Floridians: stop voting for Republicans if we want a f**king competent government!

Because we should trust the Florida Democratic Party to bring competence?

Oh, we won't always get competency with a Floridian Democrat, but the chances of doing so are certainly WAYYYY f**king higher than getting it with a Floridian Republican.

Absolutely not! But people get the government they deserve. Is a significant subset of the FL electorate capable of parsing a complex political issue? Are they capable of paying attention and deciphering the optimal outcome? Probably not. Which shouldn't exactly come as a surprise !

I think it's generally accepted that the MN DFL is one of the most effective political parties in the nation. However, they have the luxury of appealing to people who actually read newspapers and follow current events. Until the political culture of FL changes, y'all will be stuck with an endless series of incompetent banana Republicans.

Say what you want about the FDP but Florida Democrats in the Senate, House, and Congress are well liked no? On the state level the GOP has controlled everything for so long that you can't blame Democratic politicians for the state's failures can you?

Their congressional delegation includes Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Alcee Hastings, and Donna Shalala. Not a good group there.

Donna Shalala (& others in the delegation including Stephanie Murphy, Ted Deutch, Frederica Wilson, & Debbie Mucarsel-Powell) are all well-liked by their districts. Just because you don't think they're good doesn't mean they're not well-liked.

Compared to the human dumpster fire that is Ron DeSantis?  Yeah, probably   Admittedly, that's more of an indictment of DeSantis' incompetence than anything else.

This, of course, is where it has to be brought up that the Democratic candidate who DeSantis  beat has since been forced to leave public life after being caught earlier this year on a crystal meth binge with a male escort. It has been an eventful 2020 for Florida politics.

And yet his LG still would've handled COVID-19 far better than DeSantis.  So could a three month old wheel of cheese, for that matter.

Yeah, this right here. Let's be real, everybody: if Gillum's meth problem had still happened in the event that he won (which is a big if, given he says his downward spiral started as a result of his loss), Chris King - & not Gillum - would be Governor right now.
