Something I’ve always wondered is: why do the FL Dems in particular suck so bad? FL Dems constantly choke in elections and I always hear how much they suck, but is there a particular reason why they do so much worse than other swing state Democratic parties. Anyone care to inform me?
So two things, right? The demographics just aren’t as good as they look on paper. The state is aging faster than many other states. This used to not be a problem but now many pensioners think they’re competing with younger people for federal and state benefits. The other thing being that a lot of people who are “Hispanics” aren’t really Hispanics. A lot of Cubans have blonde hair and blue eyes and they generally look Italian. I was talking with an old coworker on Facebook about this the other day.
My guess is that if the issues in Venezuela become a problem for the GOP, or that God forbid, there are fewer people retiring or even reaching old age, that probably Florida will start voting somewhere between Colorado or New Jersey.
Or it could start voting like Ohio or Missouri if everyone just starts living forever and/or there is this shift in the Mestizo community that it’s their personal responsibility to “marry up” or whatever and maybe their Grandchildren will pass as “white”. Those kids can pretend to be like Elizabeth Warren and just say they are 1/8 or 1/16 American Indian or something.
Maybe this sounds like I don’t like old people or that I’m racist or whatever but Florida just sucks. I love the climate and there’s a lot to do but the average IQ down there is in the low 90s. But yeah.
I guess saying that most old people, especially boomers, are selfish and that some people don’t care that they are discriminated against or claim that they are and they like it when they are not is wrong.
