FFS! Angie Nixon just STOMPED her opponent despite being outspent 17 to 1. She earned the nomination and the voters’ trust. She should have nothing but support from the Florida Democratic Party right now. Get it together.

Sure, winning Cuban voters with your socialist pitch and Repub voters by campaigning across Florida with Bernie Fucking Sanders is a great strategy! Don't tell her anything, she has her primary voters. Trumpers hate Vindman, but the nice black lady socialist is cool. Leave her alone to win/lose it.

A private phone call about tactics doesn't mean lack of support. There would be a case for D party lack of support if prominent elected Ds start attacking her in public. Winning a primary means absolutely in terms of winning the state. Nothing at all.

I think we should ban use of the word "socialism" during campaigns because it means something different to every person and is a red flag to many. It doesn't communicate, just causes confusion. So just discuss policy ideas and R corruption and forget about whateverthefuck "socialism" means.

Establishment Dems are proving themselves to be the problem. They would rather lock us into a failing status quo that enriches them, then allow for serious change that addresses the needs of the working class over the donor class.

They only want to switch the color from red to blue, like they always have. They don't want any changes in governance. Socialism might take a lot of the corruption away, and they do not want that The old guard, red or blue, governs to fill their own pockets, not to help the people who elected them

Stop telling the voters what they want. The voters told you! Why did Nixon and El Sayed win despite huge discrepancies in spending? Why is Mamdani kicking ass in NY? Because we want fighters for the American people and Mamdani has shown what can happen with a functioning govt for the people.

Nicky has done absolutely nothing for Fl beyond whining. Angie has earned, and was given, the right to expect support for the Fl Dem gatekeepers.

Regardless of who won that primary this was going to be a Dem ceiling of 44% vote for Senator even in a Blue year. Best chance is for Gov against Donalds with high negatives. Jolly needs a Black Jewish Latino coalition but FL Dems have not been able find Socialist messaging defense in 10 years

My mom wanted Nixon to win, she didn’t think she would (she’s lost a lot of hope over the years) but was pleasantly surprised that she did. If boomers showed up for her…wtf are we doing??

What do they want her to do, recant her beliefs for the General Election?! What do they think would happen then? She’ll lose the same voters she needs to turnout to win in. She needs to make the case, that the DSA is not a one size fits all, and that socialism is just leveling the playing field.

Let the voters know that she is not a communist, and that the only communist sympathizer sits in the White House. Who is penpals with Putin, President Xi, and Kim Jong-un.

My read on it is that Dems are scared that DSA is going to take them over like MAGA did GOP. I don't see that at all, though. They are keeping the Overton Window from shifting further and further to the right. They are where much of the energy is. Fresh ideas are good and needed, especially now.

This proves my thesis that a docile, satisfied culture (we’ll call them the sheep) are easily bought off by promises of future reward, while pissed off culture (we’ll call them cats) just do what they do and can’t be influenced by lies.

Well, Nikki is the ONLY Democrat to win statewide office in Florida since 2012 (and personally unselfishly helped my campaign in 2018). Republicans outnumber Dems there, you have to reach the independents and marginal Republicans to win. Will be tough to do, hope they figure it out.

Outside of one FU rally what has Fried done? And amendment three & four failed under her watch? She’s been on my useless list awhile now. Angie is gonna be Senator in spite the WEAK FL DNC

What everyone forgets is that in projections, she actually beats the Republican. Her competitors in the primary did not. She is actually not just more progressive, she is more electable. But politicians who serve the billionaires – which we find in both parties – find progressives threatening.

If anyone can screw this up, it’s the Florida Democratic Party leadership. We were so thrilled to see her win, support her 100%, but that enthusiasm was tempered with knowing what dumbas*es we’re dealing with in the party.

The voters want progress. The establishment wants status quo. I’m super stoked about Angie Nixon. I just have the feeling the donor class of the Democratic Party would rather kneecap a progressive candidate than throw full support behind her.

The Narcissism of Small Differences. This is why democrats lose. FFS. Rally around the winner. She earned the votes. Anything else is unacceptable. These kinds of stories will always leak out and hurt the candidate. Good job, idiots.

I don’t understand this? The primary is over. We should all be getting behind Nixon, forward her message as far and as loud as we can and fight the noise we are going to be hearing from her opponent’s camp. We need to live in reality here.

The Florida Democratic Party is useless. When I lived there they couldn't even get a candidate to run for Congress in my district (Tallahassee)

Nikki Fried and the other corporate-owned Dems are the reason Florida has been solidly controlled by the GOP for 30 years. They want gala fundraisers, wealthy donors, glossy mailers, and endless phone calls. Angie hit the streets and earned the votes. And f*ck Mr. AIPAC Vindman.

The Democratic Party is just diet Republican. They'd rather hand victory to a Republican than advocate for the working class...but they'll totally steal the credit for a democratic socialist's policies once they've won. The same thing happened with Mamdani.

Notice Webb doesn’t call for Fried to resign or face any consequences. He doesn’t even name her. Her corporate donors are his boss. “Get it together” is the most he can offer for criticism. Vague and meaningless. Fake.

This highlights 1 of the huge differences in “parties”, 1 fully supports the candidate’s the people choose regardless of how good or bad they may be while the other can’t even agree on when protests should be held. Democrats must unite and support the candidates of choice or we will give it away.
