The Desantis campaign for Governor of Florida is the epitome of Republican hypocrisy

How ironic that Desantis, who is desperately trying to make Floridians believe that Andrew Gillum is corrupt, is the same sick fucker who idolizes one of the most corrupt persons in the history of this planet, Donald Trump.

What is so worrisome about all of this is that the media is reporting that Gillum's lead has diminished and the race is too close to call now. Give me a fucking break. How many times in recent years have we seen races across this country where Democrats held commanding leads for almost the entire duration of their individual campaign runs, only to see their leads mysteriously vanish in the waning days of their campaign? Let's keep our fingers crossed that another Florida fix is not in the making, not just in Florida but in so many other vital states as well. GOTV!!

Some show Gillum well ahead. They want a horse race and don't care about anything else.

Correct.. they want to jin up the "race" cause that sells... The "us vs them" mentality.. The sports model of competition gets the advertisers and the money... Follow the money....
How many uncontested opponent races do we hear about?
Right....... little to none...

In a very safe area. I've noticed DeSantis is pulling small crowds at his appearances so let's see how many Trumpkins come out to wade in the bile and cheer the fascists.
