The only other two states in which I've been a registered voter are New York and California. Voting seemed SO easy compared to now... or even two years ago when I was so sick, I couldn't be bothered to even send my absentee ballot to CA.
I pay close attention to news/ current affairs, but everything is just so... mired in Trump and his bullshit, that I can't seem to figure out the best way to think things through.
Can anyone help a woman who's always, fairly comfortably, voted in states and districts that didn't consistently hold up to her *mild* leftist leanings; who now lives among... well... a very good number of people whose views (or something??) cause them to completely dismiss a different idea as soon as they find out it might be different? The left-leaners here tend to stay quiet, while the righties (or whatever they are now) spout their shit. Since I work in FOH at a restaurant, that's where I have to hear it, and I also have to bite my tongue painfully. I'm looking for a new job, but I can't be guaranteed much of anything here.
I'm just a little lost, and I'm not really sure how to approach this whole voting thing here.
If you live in a deeply red county in FLA it wouldn't hurt to contact your local democratic office to get help. Take this shit seriously. Try contacting @FlaDems (Florida Democrats) If you are having or feel you are going to have a problem registering and voting.

I'm a non-voting Floridian.
Why? Look I live in a deeply red county in my state, but I don't give a shit. Change does not happen by sitting out and giving up. Montana has a democratic governor. Oklahoma has also had a democrat in the past as gov. My state NC has turned more purple but was for decades a deeply red state. Fla like Ohio and Penn and Michigan are all swing states. YOUR VOTE MATTERS no matter what part of Florida you live in. Currently you have a fucking dickhead Governor who has fucked up Florida over environmental issues, red algae, and has turned the state into a shooting gallery.
VOTE unless you want America to become a third world dumpster.Don't give 45 8 years. Don't let the GOP let billionaires continue to fleece the rest of us for their bad gambling on Wall Street.
