Major South Florida hospital reporting 526 people with #COVID19 today. Source there tells me they expect that number to hit the 800’s any day now. They topped out at 650 last summer. 99% unvaccinated & majority under 50. This is all on
@GovRonDeSantis

1. If Word Gets Out, It's Going To Increase His Support

The more people that die, the more Floridians like DeSatan.

4. Bullshit. He did not win by much.

Covid is all anyone in Florida is talking about. In my area even without mandated most are masking back up and I’m not in a blue area.

DeSantis is in a bad spot. I know at least 5 republicans who have or recently had Covid. One in the ICU for over 5 days. A good friend was the only in his house vaccinated. His entire household except him got it and his wife was real sick for 6 days. Still not fully recovered. He is a non religious republican. Somewhat moderate did not vote for trump but Republican down ticket. He is really pissed at all the republicans including the governor.

The Governor either back tracks and pisses off the crazy base or doubles down and makes everyone else mad. I think at this point he has to double down and hope people forget this by next November.

But right now with the right candidate he could be beat. If for no other reason that his voters are dying off like crazy.

Florida is not Alabama or Mississippi.

I’m not predicting he will lose next year. It will be tough. But people are not happy at all now.

5. Isn't Charlie Crist Going To Run Against Him?

I have no faith in the vast majority of Floridians to do the right thing.

The fact he can be so fucking oblivious to the death all around him, and yet, like you said, "it will be tough," shows how pathetic things are there.

6. Nikki Fried is the other high profile Democratic to announce so far.

Neither are great candidates in my opinion but Fried is the first state government Democratic candidate to win in almost 20 years. She’s our Agriculture secretary.

Plus Val Demings is running against Rubio. We will have good African American turnout. She is a great Democrat and good candidate. She can win. The trump base hates Rubio.

Don’t give up on Florida forever. Our problem is the hundreds of thousands of Midwestern upper middle class white folks who retire here every year. You’d have to see their massive developments to believe it. They replace our dying off old white republicans. And they are 80% conservative.

19. What happened to Gwen Brown? I haven't been keeping up because all I hear is

Chain Gang Charlie and Nikki Fried. Neither of them will beat DeathSentence by enough votes to win.

[obamanut2012]

21. Who is Gwen Brown?

I live here, and don't recognize the name.

[Kingofalldems]

8. Ahh. Trump can't be accountable for his crimes.

And now DeSantis can't lose.

Should we give up?

[retread]

20. Floriduh "reelected" Skeletor and then "elected" it to the Senate. Given that history my

guess is the Democratic nominee will need at least a 5 point lead to win.

Give up? No! Choose a nominee that can actually win? Yes!

2. This clip of DeSantis didn't age well (bragging about Florida's numbers) from June 2020

10. The Democratic gubernatorial candidates should use this footage in their ads. Floridians will

appreciate being reminded about what suffering Floridians and their children have endured, and should vote accordingly.

It's not unheard of for Floridians to vote in Democratic governors.

[SergeStorms]

14. Well, now Florida is worse than New York.

In so many ways, except the weather. New York doesn't have hurricanes though, so there's that.

DeSatan is just another lying, loud-mouthed republican piece of shit.

18. +1, If we can't demonize this Rick Moranis looking mutha f****a we need to quit

7. Some billboards needed at major highways into FL...Welcome to DeathSantis Land...Good Luck!!!

[Ilsa]

9. Is DeathSentence withholding state health dept stats,

and only letting them get published every few days instead of daily? I may have heard this on tv today.

[JoanofArgh]

17. Yep. I check the numbers for each

state on Worldometers every day and starting a couple weeks ago Florida started coming up blank every couple days

[Wounded Bear]

11. Lead, follow, or get out of the way...

12. As much as I hate the MFer, it's just not on him. It's on all the fucking idiots who refuse to get

the vaccine. He could be as stupid as he wants but it would mean nothing if there weren't idiots that listened.

It's on them all. They are ALL responsible.

15. Can you imagine if there is a major hurricane (or two) that makes landfall in Florida before the

season is over? The last thing Florida needs right now is a natural disaster on top of their Covid epidemic.

16. this wave is different - for the 1st time, children are now seriously impacted

Even republican parents have to take care of their kids first. Never once throughout this pandemic were there so many hospitalized children, and they can’t get vaccinated.

[obamanut2012]

22. Kids are being intubated and dying

Newborns and infants are getting it.

That is the difference, and school is starting next week. His stance will not play well when ten or 20 kids a day die, when week-old babies die.
