I totally understand the sentiment but...

There are a lot of dedicated Democrats in Florida and we have a decent chance to turn this state around, if not now, then in the near future but we can't do that if we've drowned.

In fact, the results of this election just might surprise some folks because more than a few Repugs are sick of Trump and MAGA so they'll stay home or vote for Kamala.

Besides, it's a beautiful place which is why so many well off citizens have moved here even if their ego and ideas on how they got that way are sadly misgiven.
