How did florida become a shithole btw? As a european for a long time i thought florida was a hotspot for queer culture.
From what I hear, it's left wing in the big cities, right wing everywhere else. And the electorates or whatever they call them are Gerrymandered so that the right wing areas have more voting power than the left wing. Basically the local government is doing everything they can to keep in power, shitty or not.
Don't quote me though. I'm an Aussie and it's only my probably biased opinion.
Why do you think people gerrymander? Do they get money for it?
Seems strange to me to go into US politics to then to be anti democratic.
They get power from it (and money), that's enough reason for many to be anti democratic
