I want to add something else about why I think this is such a great idea. Let’s take the state everyone loves to hate—Florida. Please don’t remind me that Republicans outnumber Democrats here—that’s part of the point. Because even though we are in the minority, there are still over 4 million Democrats here.

I want to add something else about why I think this is such a great idea. Let’s take the state everyone loves to hate—Florida. Please don’t remind me that Republicans outnumber Democrats here—that’s part of the point. Because even though we are in the minority, there are still over 4 million Democrats here. Do we just throw our hands up and say “Oh well, Florida is red now so let’s just give up”? My point is that if we don’t have a strategy for cultivating new Democrats, we’re screwed. And there are enough of us here to get involved in the way Ron suggests.
I'm old enough to remember when Florida was blue. I'm a 5th generation Floridian and was always proud of my state until J.E.B. Bush was elected governor and the right wing takeover began. If they could take it, we can take it back. We need to change our methods and begin to do more of the outreach and networking ALL year long, as is outlined in this article.
I like your idea. Soon as we finish grieving, take a break, time to reset and get to work. We really need to get involved. Maybe contact your local DNC and see how to do this for a start.

I am so with you!
