We need to get ready for the 2026 elections. The GOP is going to play all kinds of bullshit games, so let's build an impenetrable blue wall that can't be destroyed.
Step one: Make sure everyone is registered. Confirm with local election board this week! Once you have done that, post this checkmark:

Florida and Texas are turning blue. Rapey McBonespurs has damaged the GQP for a generation or more.

District 14 is a FL state district that seems to reflect gerrymander fail. Proud to have been one of the 5 votes that kept the recount at bay.

Trump's only campaign promise that he actually delivered on was uniting the country.

Against him.

So encouraging to see normal people winning because they want to help their communities.

No amount of gerrymandering, ice agents or the “save my ass act” is going to STOP what is coming.

Saying midterms will be a bloodbath for republicans is starting to look like a massive understatement.

I’ve lived in Florida my whole life. I remember when we were a solid Dem state. But like every party that becomes a monolith & stops caring about normal citizens troubles, they lost. And Dems never recovered here. Hopefully this is a new awakening. If Dems here can learn that lesson they’ll succeed

ATTENTION DEMS:

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. COMMON SENSE CANDIDATE...UNION, VETERAN & QUITE SURE OTHER POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES.

GET IT NOW? No skeletons in closet...didn't come out and say (I HOPE) he CAN'T STAND COUNTRY MUSIC in a far South contest.

SEE HOW IT WORKS? Wanna KICK ASS in November?

These are the blue collar people that used to identify with the Democratic Party. They're coming back because they realize Trump conned them and had no interest in their economic well-being. The Dems need to follow through and get the economy back on track.
