DeSantis is trying his best to attract the attention of the MAGA crowd. Obviously power is his preference to doing what is good and right for Floridians and our economy! Will be glad to wave bye bye to DeSantis at the end of his term!!
I really think the pandemic, those who got it and have lasting effects, were left with brains of a snail. Brains that have zero logic and can follow the worst kinds of bags of cells like DeSantis and Trump..and his other butt smooches. You see the 5 year old in ICE custody yet?? Breaks my heart.
I wish it was that easy. We're a already gerrymandered. There is no reason for my district boundaries to be drawn like that except that they were very obviously including this predominantly white neighborhood to offset the historically black area of town. Our votes won't count. And the last 2 times I have contacted an elected official, I have gotten a response stating that they had checked and I was not a registered member of their party. Apparently they only represent the people who voted for they.
Sigh, no surprise. Good news is that Drumpf is going down faster than a sinking ship. Sane people wising up will realize that they’re all the same 🧟♂️🧟♀️
The general failure of our political system is that only 10% of the population or less actually benefits from these kinds of imperial adventures as in Venezuela. Tax policy is even more egregious. In my youth, I assumed that Republicans were the party of the owning class and the Democrats were the party of the working class. How this duality changed into a duopoly is a matter for political scientists; still, this vote in Congress might see a reemergence of a true Democratic Party. Then, oligarchs like DeSainthood can gerrymander all they want, but the working class will vastly outnumber the oligarchs and their minions.
Yes. I think a legal challenge is inevitable. But since DeSantis is putting this off until March/April there won't be much time before the August primaries, which could complicate matters.
You know what one big problem is? It is that a person could ask her/himself, “How do I know what I hear or read is the truth, is accurate?” It’s a hard question, I think. And the answer seems to be “faith.”
Brilliant analysis connecting that tied House vote to what's happening in Florida. The math here is pretty stark when 41% of voters control 71% of representation. I've seen gerrymandering studies before but this level of distortion is wild even by modern standards. The timing with the midterms makes sence too since tight margins like that 215-215 vote mean a few strategically redrawn districts could genuinly shift the whole power balance.

I won’t be waving, but I will be pointing a certain finger at him as he’s leaving
lol yes that too!

What can we do as residents of Florida to stop DeSantis from changing the congressional districts this year?
For starters, spread the word. I'm sure there will be legal intervention as well.
Help educate Floridians to stop them from voting for democracy haters!
I'm trying. Spread the word!

DeSantis is a crook too just like his half brother dump Trump both Republicans who care nothing about anybody but themselves and their wallet

Can't a lawsuit be filed, stating that redistricting for political purposes is prohibited by Florida's constitution
? I'd think any registered Florida voter could file. Isn't there an attorney out there willing to head this cause? 🙏

Democrats have to win the mid terms...get DeSantis out and Trump impeached once again and keep ICE out of Florida.
