Florida

My name is Bob Lynch. I am a white guy from Irish immigrant descent who is running in a 90% Hispanic district. The Florida Democratic Party classifies districts like mine as "Minority Access" Districts. This means that the demographics of the district is a minority majority. None of the party leaders had a problem with me running because I am a relatively affluent straight White man.

Oil Can Harry by Nancy OhanianYesterday, in a complete about face, while campaigning in Jupiter (FL), the Trumpist regime announced a decade-long ban on oil drilling off the coast of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

Last night I got an extraordinary e-mail from Alan Grayson. I don't think he sent it to anyone but me and I decided not to send it to anyone else, not even Adam Christensen, whose new video is directly above. This was Grayson's e-mail; you can read it at the same time Adam Christensen does:

I’ve been an angry man since the age of sixteen. That was when I read Lloyd deMause’s newly-published The History of Childhood, an inquest into the realities of growing up that minced no words about society’s ingrained habit of victimizing children to serve the implacable ends of adults.

A lot went into Markey's big win over Kennedy in Massachusetts Tuesday but Climate Change and the Green New Deal-- co-authored by Markey and passively supported by Kennedy-- was probably the single biggest factor. Perhaps, come November, it will be as big a factor is one of the most Climate-threatened states, Florida.

"Fargo" Revisited by Nancy OhanianIpsos has a new poll out that they took for Axios. It has doom for the GOP written all over it. Despite Trump's protestations that it's all a hoax to get him, 58% of Americans now say they personally know someone who has tested positive and a growing 22% say they know someone who has died.

In 2016, Trump won Florida's 29 electoral votes by beating Hillary 4,617,886 (49.02%) to 4,504,975 (47.82), a 112,911 margin for the Orange Menace. Numerically the key to making up for that margin involves 3 things:

On Friday, the Tampa Bay Times published another stinging indictment of the venal and incompetent Florida Democratic Party in the form of a question from top state Senate candidate Kathy Lewis: I can lift Biden and flip state Senate.

On Tuesday we had some significant victories in the Florida primaries, especially for Florida legislature candidate Angie Nixon and for FL-03 congressional candidate Adam Christensen. Angie's district is so blue that she doesn't even have a Republican opponent in November. Adam's district... well, it's pretty red and gave Trump a 16 point margin in 2016.

Hard-fought wins in north Florida last night-- Angie and AdamI get sick of repeating it so frequently, so I can imagine if you keep hearing it, you must get sick of it even more, but I'll say it again-- if the Ohio Democratic Party ceased to exist (which would be a really good thing for Ohio Democratic candidates)-- the Florida Democratic Party would be the worst in the country.
