To be fair, Florida almost passed it with 57%. The only reason it didn’t pass was because Florida requires a 60% majority to pass a measure.
This is statistically in line with every other state that passed a similar measure.
It sucks it didn’t happen, but that is still an incredible display of progress in Florida.
I think the time has arrived for party diversification. If the DNC wants my vote back they’ll need to earn it back. I have thrice voted for them to avoid a Trump Presidency, and 2/3 of those attempts were unsuccessful.
No longer will my vote be held hostage by the people that will squander it. From now on I vote for who I want, not against who I don’t, since it apparently doesn’t matter anyway. At least this way I vote on my own terms.
Bernie is too good for us, we need someone like him with a shot at gaining popularity for policy stances not backed by one of the large establishment parties.
Seriously, if he’s got 2 months before being king FUCKING DO IT NOW.
