Val Deming's does not have name recognition in Florida. We need some billionaires to help Florida

[Maraya1969]

out of this quagmire of GQP insanity. We've got Rick Scott, DeSantis and Rubio. Can't get much worse than that.

Please spread the word and ask for help. Florida's waters are becoming horribly polluted, our manatees are dying because the grasses that they eat are dying.

Here is her website asking for donations.

1. Florida & Texas Are Lost Causes

I think the Democratic Party would be better served by spending their money elsewhere. The majority in those states will Never support a Democratic candidate for the higher offices, and with the exception of FL with Obama, for the Presidency.

There are states like GA & AZ where there is at least a chance to win races or garner Electoral votes, and our limited funds should be directed there, and let states like FL do their own republican thing.

3. By my numbers, Florida isn't a lost cause

I can understand feeling like Florida is a lost cause, but your comment is harsh. Since California is so democratic, would we be better served by using funds where they are needed, to improve our margins, rather than wasting them on places we will win? I don't think so. Let's be optimistic.

There were 9 states in 2020 who had results based on 49-51 %, and Florida was one of them.
If any of them lost and gained 2 points the results could change. We need to try in ALL of these states, to maintain and increase our voters. In some we won and some we lost, some we won back.

State, % of vote D/R
AZ 49/49
FL 47/51
GA 49/49
MI 51/47
NV 50/47
NC 48/49
PA 50/48
WI 49/48

FYI: TX 46.48/52.06 (we'd need to gain and them lose 3% to win Texas, but with effort we can hopefully make inroads.)

And in my opinion, these are the 10 states are might really be a lost cause, no offense to anyone who lives in one. I won't type the numbers, but each went for tfg with 60%+ vote, Dems were as high as 37%.

Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wyoming.
Got the numbers from Wikipedia.

I live in NC, where we have a Dem governor but R senators and voted for tfg, but I'm in a very red region. Sometimes I feel like it's a lost cause here, but I still fight the good fight.

2. What's Bloomberg up to these days?

Perhaps he'd be willing to assist this effort. Someone should ask him.

There does need to be an effort made, for sure. Glad it's underway.
