And they voted like that margin for orangeturd
WTF?

Florida has a tradition of voting for Dem policies on the ballot while simultaneously voting for the politicians who oppose those policies.

Yep. I believe in 2018 people in Florida voted overwhelmingly to give felons the right to vote once they had completed their prison sentence. But they also voted for Ron DeSantis and other Republicans who have fought voting rights for former felons since they took office. Totally contradictory, not that most Florida voters seem to care.

But abortion and legal weed both failed in Florida, reportedly…soooo…wtf?

Didn't they need 60% to pass?

They actually both won a majority - the abortion referendum by a large margin - but in Florida it needed 60% to pass. So the large majority didn't matter.

I wouldn’t say under 60% is a large majority.

They failed despite winning a majority of the vote. The last numbers I saw on abortion has 57% in favor, 43% against.

I guess that’s subjective. I consider a 14 point margin to be a large majority.

All council of state races besides Stein are razor sharp.

Kamala running 3 points behind Jackson and Greene. Not looking good.

Yes.

And? Bottom line, it failed. Floridians knew the threshold. 43% or better said fuck your rights.

On an issue as basic as a woman’s right to choose, it’s obviously not a large majority

Stein is our next governor.

BFD

NC has the WEAKEST governor in the US.

 

[rodoheel]

Trump is building a working class coalition of people from all races.

Yep. And his economic policies will fuck them all over equally. FAFO I guess.

Yeah, if Stein wins but Morrow and Bishop and some other GOPers win and he doesn't have veto power over the legislature it's still going to suck, although there's no doubt it's still far preferable to having Robinson as governor.

 

[ColdBlueSteel]

I guess I would defer to the actual people in those minority groups who are tilting more Republican than they have in the past. Ask them I guess.

Wait what? Explore the other sides point of view? WTF man?

 

[CarolinaFever]

Jeff Jackson and Dan Bishop basically tied. Same with Mo Greene and Morrow.

What the fuck is wrong with people?

Tons of blue area votes out still.

Sarah McBride won her seat in Delaware

Why do we have so many rules to let the loser win?
