i just mocked him the other day for running fourth out of five (because he’s Bernie’s boy) but I like him nonetheless

Well, he’s leading by 1% with 73% of the vote in

If he wins we’re looking at a new era of democratic politics in Florida because he’ll crush desantis

Buck seems to be confident he can

If he does, what does that say about the narrative that a Sanders backed progressive can't win in conservative states/districts running on a progressive platform?
what do you think? Can Gillium win this fall?

How many "Sanders backed progressives" ran for governor this primary season?

Yes, a populist progressive message resonates well with independents and conservatives alike

Stacey Abrams - Georgia - Won Primary
Ben Jealous - Maryland - Won Primary
Abdul El-Sayed - Michigan - Lost Primary
Andrew Gillum - Florida - Won Primary

Having a couple of billionaires throw you millions when you need it most helps too, right?

Andrew Gillum gets another $650,000 from billionaire donors Soros, Steyer

It doesn't matter. Gillum isn't going to be corrupted by that money. Just because he accepted legal donations from a big corporate leader doesn't mean he will corruptly give Soros value in return. Right @Padawanbater2 ? Can we finally agree on this?

Q: how did this happen? where did he come from? -joe scarborough

A: the whisper campaign held at 7-11, publix..if i only got one person to vote, i was successful because that person told another, then another told another..there were no teevee ads for gillum, there was no money just grassroots all along..i split a $27 donation between jealous, abrams and gillum.

voters now KNOW it can happen if they show.

I think there is a massive blue wave coming but I'm worried that the system will be hacked and votes changed along with gerrymandering and democratic voter registration purges and all the rest of the GOPs dirty tricks.
'what if's' are self defeating. It invites paranoia. tim canova did his own exit polling challenged DWS and Snipes..the court agreed..so what happened? the ballots got shredded..we got our answer. it's up to the powers that be to bring them to justice and if they won't? they get voted out..uh buh bye:mrgreen:
