Republicans picks up a Senate seat and retain the governor mansion. Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum concede. They said that Republicans will destroy democracy. |
After a grueling recount and mishandling of ballots, the Democrats have conceded to the Republicans. The governor and senate race are over. The recount is over and its declared that Republicans won the election.
Andrew Gillum and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) have conceded to their races.
Gov. Rick Soctt now Sen-Elect and Gov-Elect Ron DeSantis won playing dirty politics. They managed to dog-whistle and fear monger throughout the entire campaign.
Florida a prize for both Democrats and Republicans. Like Ohio, many presidential candidates need the state of Florida to win the White House. Republicans managed to make it more harder for Democrats to win Florida and Ohio with their wacky gerrymandering and dirty gutter politics.
Gillum who managed to outraise and outspend DeSantis would have been one of the first African American governors in the South. He and Stacey Abrams were defeated by Republican tactics where they purge voters, destroy ballots and use racism as tool to win.
59% of white women voted for Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott in this election.
94% of Black women voted for Andrew Gillum and Bill Nelson in this election.
The racists win. Rick Scott leaves the governor's mansion for the Senate. Ron DeSantis leaves the House of Representatives for the governor's mansion. Florida's dirtiest politicians won on racism. |
Democratic turnout was high. Even in the wake of numerous mass shootings, that stupid "stand your ground law" and the "hurricane", Republicans managed to win the Sunshine state.
Even former Republican lawmaker and MSNBC contributor David Jolly said that DeSantis and Scott played dirty politics. He left the party because of Donald J. Trump and Republicans acting like a bunch of morons.
Gillum who will return to Tallahassee will have to listen to this asshole who claimed his city is crime-infested. Yeah, the dog whistle. Tallahassee is a majority-minority city and DeSantis will have to reside in the governor's mansion.
On his concession speech, Gillum said that he will work for all Floridians.
"R. Jai and I wanted to take a moment to congratulate Mr. DeSantis on becoming the next governor of the great state of Florida. This has been the journey of our lives."
DeSantis on his part thanked Gillum and promise to work with him. He wants "unity."
Yeah, fucking right. He will continue his partisan bullshit.
"This was a hard-fought campaign. Now it's time to bring Florida together."
I am fed up with Republicans. I am sick and tired of Republicans doing what they do best. We need to get to work. We need to motivate Democrats out to the polls. We need to remind ourselves that progress is work. We will work hard to repress Republican policies. We will reject conservatism/racism/libertarianism and stupidity.
Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams' loss hurts. But it's best to dust ourselves off and try harder.
Republicans can't win on rural white voters for much longer. They can't win on just the White vote.
So we need to get to work.
