I'm a Florida voter now :huh:

Don't vote, don't complain about what happens.

People are free to participate in so far as they are able and inclined to do so.  That they don't participate in one part of the process is not an argument that they should be excluded from other parts of the process.

Like complaining about elected officials when they didn't vote against them?

What did your vote against the trumpster accomplish? You got to register your displeasure? Well, good for you..now be a dear and let others register theirs, too.

Is there a point in there somewhere just dying to get out?

Junior miss.

Suck it up and vote.  On Day #1 the republicunt candidate for governor is already calling his black opponent a "monkey."

No, no, no, taking a hour out of posting to Facebook every few years is simply out of the question. The passengers shouldn't have to put up with that degree of hardship. 

Dear passengers, Trump thanks you.

-business as usual in the sunshine state.

You need to pretend to be a Trump supporter and get them to demand a wall be built isolating Florida from the rest of America.

Most of Florida is only 6 foot above sea level, a lot of it is 3 foot above. So very soon most of the state will be under water and you'll want to keep the Floridians contained.

Better yet follow the ideas of John F Hickory. "We must dig a ditch of hope across Florida, which will flood into a river of freedom".

I became a Florida resident a couple of months ago. Since I've lived here for over two years now, legally, it seemed necessary. 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.

Lol.

[The Grand Nudger]

The trouble with deeply red counties is not that it's difficult to register and vote (some terms and conditions may apply.. )- but that your vote literally doesn't matter. Same problem people are facing all over the place.

Since you'd have to get some dems in to redraw a map, and since your vote can't do that...chinatown.

Then there's the additional trouble of what kind of dems you have to choose from, if you somehow manage to get one in. Southern democrats, by and large....are liberal leaning republicans (to a greater extent than the norm, even).
