    This is from yesterday, In Jacksonville, in response to the racist that killed three people in Dollar General, then himself.

    If 1/2 those people voted, he wouldn’t be governor any longer.

    Making DeSatan uncomfortable and drowning him out with boos is great and all, but what really would get to him? Losing an election.

    The turn out in the 2022 election in FL was a pathetic 50%.

    Cue up the endless excuses of why people can’t vote, and yet 7.7 million people were able to, so clearly it isn’t impossible.

      I don’t know the situation but voter suppression does exist. I think in Texas Republicans specifically targeted blue voting areas to limit the number of polling places creating multi hour wait lines, while red areas were minutes. Add in early and mail in voting restrictions and many people are disenfranchised.

        Fucking vote anyway. My vote doesn’t matter and I showed up early just to kick Trump while he was down.

            “Genuine hardship”? People fucking died for this right. During the Civil Rights Movement people in Montgomery AL voluntarily walked to work for a year instead of taking the bus. And that was just for a different seat!

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycott

            Do you think walking to work in the Alabama summer was a hardship? They fucking did it on purpose to make a point. All you have to do is bring a chair, some food and drinks, and a phone. The longer you wait, the bigger point you make.

              They consider it a “hardship” to wait a few minutes to an hour to vote, all while these same idiots would have camped out overnight a few years ago to be the first to get an iPhone or Playstation. Boo-fucken-hoo people in this country aren’t willing to lift a finger to help themselves, but they are the first to go out in the streets and protest the day after an election if Trump or DeSatan won again. Somehow there is no time and it a massive “hardship” to vote when it counts, but they sure find the time after the damage has been done.

                Sometimes people have to wait multiple hours to vote which might lead to them not being able to get to their jobs or their children in time. In elections where I’m sure a lot of them feel like their votes won’t make a difference. I suggest one tries to imagine why people could be impacted differently than oneself in certain situations before finding reasons to criticize them.

                  It isn’t taking hours to vote for a governor election. I was in and out in less than 3 minutes. My county still flipped DeSantis but we were close. DeSantis seems unpopular now, but when he won Florida last election he painted the whole state red. Even typically blue counties like Palm Beach went red. He seemed untouchable.

                  I get almost aroused seeing him fail so hard.

        Well you’re not going to do it sitting on your ass in your mommy’s basement, just like voting ain’t gonna happen there either.

    The cut off that lady who said something along the lines of “Don’t boo, bullets don’t have a party!” What a bullshit statement.

    YOUR POLICIES CAUSED THIS! THESE DEATHS ARE ON YOUR HANDS!

    About. Fucking. Time. I’ve spent the last decade watching people openly talk about establishing a white christian ethnostate in America and the supposed “opposition” response was to make sure to be polite and to assume good faith. Fuck that. This dude is proud about how he wants to kill me and everyone like me. He moved to that level, let’s engage him on that level.
