Well they definitely ain’t the largest blue cities NYC, LA, and Chicago are all much larger and blue.

“Jacksonville leans slightly Republican by roughly 8 points: about 46% of voters vote Democratic and 54% Republican.”

At least according to best Best Neighborhoods, they did go for Angie Nixon though. Tampa is 53% from the same source.

And according to ConservativeMove.com Jacksonville and it’s suburbs is one of the better spots if you want to move to a more conservative city in Florida https://conservativemove.com/liberal-cities-in-florida/

Jacksonville is one of the country club meccas, and Tampa is where all the conservative old folks go retire. Both those usually indicate a conservative lean but it is much closer than I assumed

Edit: I was also wrong they were the biggest in the country, that title goes to Phoenix, a city that should not exist and is a monument to man’s arrogance

I was fully ready to be a doomer about the dems being feckless before all the results came in, then thing folks are missing is that what just occurred happened in the face of a billionaire spending half a billion dollars trying to buy an election and it didn’t come close to working.

I’m not saying it’s all over but the shouting but that’s a dramatic shift and actually undercuts the power of massive campaign donations. Politicians will now have to consider that when both designing their campaigns and accepting donations.

What just happened proves that spending the most money doesn’t win elections anymore at least not like it once did. Missi-fucking-ssippi has a black democratic senator in the face of all the spending done by the wealthy and big business. That’s a paradigm shift

Tampa and Jacksonville are probably the two biggest red cities in the country ain’t they? At least historically

Yep the corruption must be prosecuted and rooted out or this was all for nothing. And while it’s now unlikely that Trump will be physically able to run a third time the people that have been using him to enact their ghoulish dreams will still be around if they are not dealt with

^this

The most unbelievable part of this is that Elon even enjoys ice cream, he probably thinks it makes him look gay

Which won’t happen until long after they’ve collapsed or been acquired

I bought a fucking laptop with 16gb of ram and a touchscreen for barely more than that in 2015

As a Georgia native and 35 year resident, fuck you Kemp, you’ve done maybe two good things right in your miserable sniveling existence and this is one half of that total. I will give you that’s it’s more than I ever expected out of you though so that’s something

It’s almost an info hazard but the Behind the Bastards on this pile of shit is a good overview of the whole tragedy

Hawaii I think?

Don’t worry the ATL got you

I really and genuinely hope you’re right. I’m tired of this shit, just been left too cynical to believe until I see

I’m not the poster but have similar reticence to thinking a blue wave will fix things. It’s orders of magnitudes better if Trump doesnt have the stamp of of approval and I hope for a monumental blue wave. But I don’t much faith in the DNC as an organization to do much more than play defense, which again is much better, but could also easily lead to more frustration that drives people back to the GOP in 28 without meaningful progress on key issues that desperately need addressing

It’s a very weird position to be in to actively hope your powers of observation have failed and you have lost your mind to paranoia, and then receiving the “good news” that you are in fact sane but reality is nightmarish

I feel your pain, not only about women’s rights, but I’ve been screaming about everything for a decade and continually told I was crazy.

To quote another famous predictor of catastrophic failures, “Boy do I hate being right all the time”

If we’re lucky we’ll be the ones that die 15 minutes after. A much longer more painful death awaits everyone else

Good, I’m hoping this spreads far and wide

I wouldn’t get excited, I work in that tech space and at least in the Us and Canada strategies of major grocery stores is increasing self checkout options as well as AI surveillance. If the bubble pops that may change but it’s not deterring anything from the c-suite this far

If he can he will
