Southeast Florida, Palm Beach County, Broward County, and Miami Dade county are heavily Democratic. That represents a bit over half the voters in the state. But gerrymandering has fucked that majority.
Does anyone remember the 2000 election that Al Gore won because of those three counties? Well, turns out the Republican Supreme Court said, fuck off, appointed George W. Bush as president and then said that their reasoning could not be used again, anywhere, for any reason.
Don't knock Florida. It is a blue state being fucked by a Republican legislature and a governor whose electoral majority is questionable due to thousands of "lost" votes.
Everyone likes to laugh at "Floriduh." How about some sympathy. After all, we are a state that is occupied, abused and ruled by a Republican minority. "Occupied" is the operational word. Think of Paris during WWII. Many of the French joined the resistance. But what they could do was limited until they were liberated. So here's a cry for help. We need a Democratic president and senate to pass laws to liberate us from the tyrants who call themselves Republicans.
