    If 1/2 those people voted, he wouldn’t be governor any longer.

    Making DeSatan uncomfortable and drowning him out with boos is great and all, but what really would get to him? Losing an election.

    The turn out in the 2022 election in FL was a pathetic 50%.

    Cue up the endless excuses of why people can’t vote, and yet 7.7 million people were able to, so clearly it isn’t impossible.

      I don’t know the situation but voter suppression does exist. I think in Texas Republicans specifically targeted blue voting areas to limit the number of polling places creating multi hour wait lines, while red areas were minutes. Add in early and mail in voting restrictions and many people are disenfranchised.

            “Genuine hardship”? People fucking died for this right. During the Civil Rights Movement people in Montgomery AL voluntarily walked to work for a year instead of taking the bus. And that was just for a different seat!

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycott

            Do you think walking to work in the Alabama summer was a hardship? They fucking did it on purpose to make a point. All you have to do is bring a chair, some food and drinks, and a phone. The longer you wait, the bigger point you make.

              They consider it a “hardship” to wait a few minutes to an hour to vote, all while these same idiots would have camped out overnight a few years ago to be the first to get an iPhone or Playstation. Boo-fucken-hoo people in this country aren’t willing to lift a finger to help themselves, but they are the first to go out in the streets and protest the day after an election if Trump or DeSatan won again. Somehow there is no time and it a massive “hardship” to vote when it counts, but they sure find the time after the damage has been done.

                Sometimes people have to wait multiple hours to vote which might lead to them not being able to get to their jobs or their children in time. In elections where I’m sure a lot of them feel like their votes won’t make a difference. I suggest one tries to imagine why people could be impacted differently than oneself in certain situations before finding reasons to criticize them.

                  It isn’t taking hours to vote for a governor election. I was in and out in less than 3 minutes. My county still flipped DeSantis but we were close. DeSantis seems unpopular now, but when he won Florida last election he painted the whole state red. Even typically blue counties like Palm Beach went red. He seemed untouchable.

                  I get almost aroused seeing him fail so hard.

    The problem with delighting in DeSantis’s humiliation is that there isn’t a Republican to root for in his place.

    If DeSantis fails… we get Trump, or Vivek ramoswami, or Mike Pence, or Chris Christie, or any of these other ghouls.

      No one gives a fuck about DeSantis, including his base. The only relevant GOP candidate is Trump. It’s absolutely impossible anyone else wins the primary unless drops out, gets disqualified, or dies.

      They can all be booed.

      DeSantis is not better than trump. Is just as pretty and childish. He seems less volatile but equally dangerous. Let them know they are not wanted. If trump got boos from the start, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

      Alright, hear me out, I hate him for how capricious he was but Christine is heads and shoulders above the rest of those clowns. He would actually be competent in the job.

        I’m a new jerseyian and I’d never thought I’d be rooting for Christie but here we are. I would one hundred percent take him over any of the other republican candidates.

          I have some Jersey roots and I’m feeling the same… It’s amazing how remarkably terrible the GOP have become that Christie starts looking good.

          He still doesn’t have a chance in hell…he’s not nearly as racist, bigoted, or Q’d up enough for the crazies that vote R.

            I’ve been saying for years Christie would have been far better than the other Republican options in the 2016 election. At the very least, in the past, he worked with Democrats to achieve things. Which, of course, is why he’d never get the support of the Republican party.

            I recognize he’s not a good person, but of the Republican lot in that election, he was probably would have been the best President.

        Because he is a RINO who made his career running things instead of fighting cultural war bullshit.

        I still don’t want him as president.

        Pence enabled Trump’s presidency more than any of them. He was with Trump every step of the way until the very end.

        His sole act of defiance was that he bravely … didn’t participate in a coup?!

        And even after that he has pledged to support Trump for the presidency AGAIN even if Trump is convicted.

      It’s just Trump. None of the others in the primary are even close. There are really two things to be concerned about:

      1. Enough people vote for Trump even though at this point he’s probably been sentenced, which I thinks is pretty unlikely given that he already lost to Biden and incumbents rarely lose. The ones that lost in the last 40 years have been Republicans.
      2. Vivek. He’s enough of an outsider and flips like Simone Biles. He’s also the most reasonable counter to the primary argument against Biden - age. That said, in a general I really doubt he’s got a real shot.

          Yeah, I think you’re right. He just over-performed in the last debate, and were republicans at all logically consistent he’d probably be their pick and I think he actually has a shot at winning over some independents and Dems that aren’t paying attention. That said, Republicans obviously aren’t consistent and that slipped my mind for a sec lol.

        My prediction: Trump wins the nomination, and DeSantis starts his own party and siphons Republican votes, ala Ross Perot. (Or the reverse, Trump loses the nomination and starts his own party and siphons R votes.)

    YOUR POLICIES CAUSED THIS! THESE DEATHS ARE ON YOUR HANDS!

    About. Fucking. Time. I’ve spent the last decade watching people openly talk about establishing a white christian ethnostate in America and the supposed “opposition” response was to make sure to be polite and to assume good faith. Fuck that. This dude is proud about how he wants to kill me and everyone like me. He moved to that level, let’s engage him on that level.
