The Florida Democratic Party is the most disorganized inept of all the state parties. Trust nothing anyone representing it says.
- The Florida Democratic Party is the most disorganized inept of all the state parties.
  After Texas.
  
  I don't blame the Texas party, this is the kind of shit they have to deal with: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-redistricting-map-2021-republicans-sued-gerrymandering/
  Texans win by any means necessary, but cheating is always preferred, and it's a lot easier to cheat when you're the incumbent.
  
  Texas Democrats are actually doing an ok job. That state presents an unbelievably hostile environment to operate in. Florida Democrats continue to internally elect and promote corruption and incompetence, rewarding failure and encouraging ignorance.
- It’s the FL JV GOP

Gusano Cubans will never vote anything but the most fascist conservative option available, and Trump already has a majority of both white male and female bloks in florida... And that's without mentioning the corruption in FL's government.
- Orrrrrr… VOTE ANYWAY

I think Floridas a terrible play, the only state they shouldn’t sleep on is AZ as it shows in so many winning electoral combos for the Reps
- I don’t disagree but making the republicans spend money in Florida also prevents them from spending elsewhere.
  
  No, there is infinite money in Florida, they own the state and half their finance class claim residence there to dodge state taxes and the screwed up laws.
  Don't ante up in rigged games, stay out of the south, it's their ground and they want you to fight there where they can cheat.

Miami-Dade Democrats want more DNC funding diverted to them.
I doubt it's in play, but even so it's probably not a worthy bet unless the map looks super wonky blue.
Play the smart game, never send money down south unless you're sure, that's how blue always loses.
- Remember when Clinton decided she should dump millions in Texas and then decided to blame everyone except her campaign for losing?
  
  Exactly, they'll flirt with you like crazy.
  But only till the checks clear.
  
  Don't say that out loud or you'll summon her.

Some recent polls put florida at only trump+2 or trump+3 . There's a rather realistic case where polling error underestimating dems by 2% or more could make it a tight race
Polling errors over estimating republican by that much have happened in the past. In 2012, republicans were overestimated for president by on average by 2.5%
- Doesn’t FL also have an abortion ballot initiative and a recreational cannabis ballot initiative this election?
  
  They've also killed a bunch of old Republicans because of the anti-vax thing.
  
  They indeed do

Toss some money at it and remind women in Florida that even if they get the abortion initiative passed, if the Republicans win, they will ban it nationally.
If anything, Trumps ego to win the state he now calls home will make him spend way too much money there.

Remember when the media thought Hillary could win Florida and she still got absolutely trounced there? Dems would be straight up stupid to spend a dime there.
- Never ante up to a rigged game. The south is as crooked as it gets.

I don’t know, you make a lot of good points and I do like your plan. I just dislike being wrong on the internet.
So if I sign up to your newsletter will you accept that as my admitting your probably more right then I am?
Seriously thanks I appreciate the posting.

This appears to be paywalled.
