Desantis looks nervous!

Being next to a black guy would do that to him.

Oof. That's tough.

[Badger]

Desantis keeps referring to Gillium as "Andrew" whereas Gillum refers to Desantis as "Congressman"

🤔

DeSantis is probably desperately holding himself back from calling him 'boy'

[Badger]

I had literally nothing on me but a cigarette and a lighter when I got mugged....mainly because I knew Tallahassee is a crime ridden city. I’d like to see you go into Frenchtown. You’d walk out of there with a MAGA hat if you spent an afternoon touring that neighborhood.

lmao

"Spend an afternoon with those people and you'd turn into a Trump supporter"

Why is it that one would turn into a Trump supporter if they developed some racial animus?  🤔

Sanchez really revealed himself there huh?

"Revealed"?? Sanchez has been an open book for years to anyone who pays attention.

[Devout Centrist]

I cannot believe Gillum is leading this Race with the Policies he proposes. That guy is a joke.

If I've learned anything from 2016, it is that the pollsters are all full of hooey.

Sorry to say, Sanchez, but I have a feeling that you're gonna get a nasty shock come election day.

I'll literally eat a MAGA hat if Gillum actually wins this.

I'll hold you to your promise.

Look, if I’m wrong about this, I’ll gladly do it.

I'll alert the paramedics

We saw the future President of the United States debate tonight.

I don't even care. He should run in 2020.

Look at the comments on this MAGA youtube channel that posted the debate

Voted this morning and good lord was it a geriatricfest if Ive ever seen one. I had to wait in line because none of the old people could hear their names being called.

Anyway voted Gillum, Nelson, Crist, Shaw, Fried, Cross, Diamond, no on retaining any of crook Scott's judicial appointments, no on all ballot initiatives except 3, 4, 9, 13

They don't call us God's waiting room for nothin'. Especially in Crist's district. I was a teenager there.

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

I have to admit that I was completely wrong about this race. I thought that the old retirees and rednecks in Florida would lead DeSantis to victory. However, Andrew Gillum is really a phenomenal candidate and even some MAGAts have to admit that.

I wish that I could remove my vote in this poll. However, Floridians will the make the final and actual vote on November 6th.

lmbo I just logged in to post that I voted, and that it looked like a geriatric ward. I saw some young people leaving as I was coming in, but inside, it was 55+ but mostly 65+.

Not too surprised I guess, given it was like 12:30pm. Early voting is really stupid in this county. It is only 8 - 4pm, which seems designed for retirees and really inconvenient for people that still work. The only viable days for working people is either lunch time or weekends (unless you get off work early or go in late).

It never occured to me that the early voting hours happened to coincide with hours where nobody under 65 y.o. would be able to find time to vote. I only saw 2 people younger than me at my voting location and the place was packed.

DeSantis pulls out of editorial board meeting with Florida papers.

It's Florida man. Florida is one giant retirement home.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I vote no on all Judges on principle.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

So is it possible Democrats take the state House and are able to pass Medicaid expansion?

Senate is quite possibly - House is pretty unlikely

[KingSweden]

I vote no on all Judges on principle.

If practiced consistently this is a reasonable principle to maintain, judicial elections are reprehensible

I’m to the point where I agree. I’m not convinced the other D’s in the field are capable of fighting back against Trump effectively.

Gillum/Spanberger 2020?

[junior chįmp]

Also @Mondale: you didn’t vote for Ring for CFO?

Im sure i did...i just dont remember all the candidates names

She also has a name like a children’s book character.
