  that was along time ago. clearly they need to find people that actually connect with the voters
context: the fact that DeSantis won by almost 20 points while running a campaign rich in bigotry and full of promises that he will work to make sure the right people die(trans kids, PoC, the unvaxxed) should be a horrific wake up call. The state is more or less a 50/50 purple state according to polling, the Democratic party might want to try to craft a policy message that actually lands with the the average voters in FL. as crazy as that sounds it just might work. >
  
  I still can't believe who they ran for governor.
  It's like they didn't want to win. >
  
  no shit, I don't know a lot about FL politics but Crist seemed like a dubious choice. >
  
  Just as bad or worse here in Texas >
  
  i'm not sure, Texas Dems seem to actually try, not as hard as I'd like them to, but it looks from a distance like they almost have their shit together. it looks like the party has completely given up in FL. >
  
  They could start by not running Charlie Crist in every single statewide election. >
  
  They'll need to run folks rather to the right of Crist, for sure >
  
  Good luck with that. When was the last time they made a headline in a Florida news source. >
  
  Have they considered not running Republicans for Governor? >
  
  Crist has been a solidly liberal Democrat for the past 7 or 8 years. Blaming the fact that he was a Republican before doesn't really make sense. Especially since he almost won in a red wave year (2014 governor) as a Democrat
