From everything I hear about Florida these days I'm not entirely sure it's not a thought experiment to see what happenes when a place makes literally all the wrong socio-poltical decisions

It's better for the possibility of nothing to happen, then going with the guarantee of horrible shit happening.

Yeah, this was just a primary, so I'm not seeing any real victories. Maybe it's in a district I'm not in, though.

Who cares what you think Ice Cream? Serious question because if more people thought exactly like you, then we would have a much more progressive or left wing government. The majority of Democratic voters (let alone the rest of the electorate) arent interested in that. Refusing to compromise will only prevent these ideas from ever being tried. If you think your ideas are good, dont stop promoting them and they will take hold if they are in fact good ideas.

The same ampunt of people who care about what you or anyone else on a forum board think.

Serious question because if more people thought exactly like you, then we would have a much more progressive or left wing government. The majority of Democratic voters (let alone the rest of the electorate) arent interested in that.

Then why do left wing policies routinely poll great?

Refusing to compromise will only prevent these ideas from ever being tried.

Doing nothing =/= compromise

If you think your ideas are good, dont stop promoting them and they will take hold if they are in fact good ideas.

They are taking hold. The democrats just refuse to push for them.

Hello fellow Jax resident. Yeah, but tbh I doubt Deegans gonna be able to do much with the Republican majority city council as it is. Guess well see.

Bravely beating back progressive challengers so that she could institute a more robust stop and frisk policy lmao. Shit like this is why the left hates Dems.

This is how it's going to happen. Precinct by precinct, district by district and state by state. It's not likely an overnight thing, so "small" victories like these are important.
