“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.
“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.
Yeah it would be really nice if there was a D that folks liked… I’d love to see a landslide election. But those days are gone I’m afraid.
THO… has there been a Democrat or Republican in the last… 50 years that folks really liked?
Maybe Obama… But other than him…idk
Yeah, both parties seem to just be running on “I’m not the other guy” recently, and it’s getting old (though admittedly the Republicans have been running on it a lot harder). Obama was the last candidate to be nominated on a platform that tried to make the case for a future.

I’m not a huge supporter of the guy, but he’s young, progressive, really popular with the youth, and just raised more money for his Senate run than any other politician in American history.
Sounds like he’s going to be president anyways eventually, why wait 30 years before it’s “his turn”?
Like, remember all the talk about the Georgia runoffs and no one expected Dems to win?
Ossoff is one of the Dems that won that
Didn’t recognize that name at all. After reading his wiki I recognized that he was one of the Georgia run-off Senate races. Maybe he’ll do some stuff and gain some popularity in the future. From what I saw in wiki the only thing he has done so far is vote with the party and help get a college re-accredidated. The reason his campaign was somhighly funded was because he was running in one of the most contested races in the country that was flooded with cash from all over.
I’m very glad he won, but also would someone who barely won their district really be a great possible push for a national candidate?
Also, “not a huge supporter” and have now posted him as a name/possibility all over the thread lol… You campaign for him? Are you him?
Because just saying:
Biden himself said there’s over 50 other options.
Just gets me Biden supporters doing their best owl impressions until I start blocking them for sea lioning.
Which it’s probably time for by now.
I mean, by the time the fifth person asks the same question instead of scrolling down… I don’t think I’m gonna be missing much. Especially since I edited Ossof into my top reply now.
