Pretty confident you could swap out the name 'Florida' with any of the 50 states and your statement would be true. Why is it an exception if it's true in Florida?
Because there is more to quality of life than the economy. My point is that you can vote on outrage on non-issues because the state caters to your needs while leaving thousands of others behind.
Again this applies to every state. What my kids are taught in school is not a non issue for me, it's pretty much the issue. I will always vote for things that put my kids first even if that regretfully negativity affects others. I won't ever feel bad about that. Everyone will always have different priorities and core issues and that's fine. That's the beauty of democracy, everyone gets to consider their priorities and cast a single vote. No one's opinion is worth more or less than anyone else's.
Sorry, it does not. Many states focus on improving conditions for their poorest citizens, for historically marginalized citizens, and work to improve access to systems that make people's lives better.
>What my kids are taught in school is not a non issue for me, it's pretty much the issue.
Sure, and Florida is moving away from teaching useful things.

These policies don't put your children first, they put you first. They exist to make you feel better about the thing the right-wing media has convinced you to be outraged about.
Assume you are just going to ignore the fact that Florida is only ~51% white and he won Hispanics by 15 points? Or are Hispanics not counted as minorities in this narrative?
"Sure, and Florida is moving away from teaching useful things."
This is news to me as I review my kids homework with them every night and it seems to be full of useful things like math, science, reading comprehension, geography, etc. Its almost as if you are being fed a false narrative from wherever you get your information from and then you believe it...
Florida is just moving away from teaching sexuality to young kids.
As far as blaming everything on right wing media, I have voted Dem my entire life prior to this, every single vote I've ever cast. I'm mid 40s. I voted Dem on the federal level while voting Rep at the state level this last election. I don't think I've ever watched a complete segment of right wing media on TV or online in my life. I arrived at my opinion by observing how California has endorsed schools lying to parents regarding their kids sexuality and am against that.
What if instead of assuming that everyone that votes differently than you do is a poor misguided easily influenced idiot and instead you actually try to understand that they just have different priorities than you do. Everyone is trying to just do right by their family and you will get much further and be happier if you focus on the 90% of things that most of us have in common rather than attacking and insulting over the 10% that we disagree on. This attacking and denigrating of different political parties is weakening the country.
Or you can continue to be smug and condescending. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and superior to others. Your call. Based on your post history in this thread, I think we both know what you will choose.
