    Quick shout out to left-wing folks living in the red states pictured. Seeing these other states flip while yours stays red is probably seriously disheartening.

    Keep up the good fight those of you living in places like Florida.

    And Angie Nixon would probably have won her Florida Senate election if not for the Dem leadership refusing to support her in an extremely close race.

      I had the misfortune of living in Florida until recently and there was no real indication it would be that close. Polling and precedent did not make it seem competitive. Now the state is clearly competitive again.

      It wasn’t all that long ago that the Dems didn’t send funding to Georgia. But once they saw a path they started to up the funding and campaigning. They will likely spend more in Florida next time, and voter engagement will increase. People are encouraged to go vote when they think it’s close. Hopefully this election proves to everyone that every state is in play now.
