Pizzo’s announcement is just the latest blow for Florida’s beleaguered Democratic Party.
I can’t imagine how tempting it must be to walk away from the backwards, hick states and leave them to their own devices…
Sadly, that would cause suffering to untold innocents. No child chooses to be born to ignorant, shitty parents, but they’ll be swept up in the damage done
I’m damned if I know what the solution is
This isn’t the fault of democrats. It will take the public adjusting and they might just need to suffer a bit to get there.
The Dems are still a shit party, just slightly less shit
This has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the Democrats own failures. Florida is home of AIPAC Democrats like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, known for kneecapping Bernie in 2016 & for her other corruption. Democrats didn’t offer the people in Florida anything unique compared to Republicans.
Those of us in the civilised world see the Dems as part of the problem
Their policies are awfully right wing. The Overton window in the US is just shoved so far right that people claim the Dems are left-wing, when they’re most certainly not
And, when the Dems were later sued for rigging their primaries, they argued in court that it was their right to do so.
We don’t have democracy in the US. We have rich, soulless bastards play-acting as opposition.
Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are not serious candidates. They’re not going to make the country better, instead will introduce a whole set of other problems. These candidates gain power by votes as a form of protest. In a hypothetical, going to fascism from liberalism to communism does not improve the country in a weighted average, instead it will get worse. I have a hypothesis as to why democrats can’t dominate Florida. That is, tax and spend policies does not work in Florida. It is a low tax state, probably for good reason, because much of the state is in a hurricane zone. It has a semi-retirement atmosphere. You would be paying high taxes on top of housing costs if you implemented a New York style taxes. Florida style taxation is tax things that are tourist related, to keep taxes low for the rest of the locals.
walk away from the backwards, hick states and leave them to their own devices
Done and done. Fuck em.
I was born without my consent. I do not have the resources to leave this hellhole state for another 4 years. I have been forced to act nice around literal confederates at my job when they want to literally kill me.
Have empathy, please?
Don’t mind him. I feel for you there is always help. My country is very welcoming to immigrants tho is not first world. I’m sure you can get some help in the meantime too. Don’t lose faith.
There are too many innocent people in those states who are already suffering
I can’t abandon them because they are surrounded by arseholes, as tempting as it is
