Florida man quits post as state Democratic Party chair

[BabyBoomer50s]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Manny Diaz, the former Miami mayor who had pledged to rebuild the Florida Democratic Party after years of losses, abruptly announced his immediate resignation as party chair on Monday amid growing calls for his ouster.

Diaz’s departure came after Florida Democrats suffering some of their worst losses ever, including the re-election of Gov. Ron DeSantis by 19 points over Charlie Crist, the election of a supermajority in the Florida Legislature and the flipping of several counties including once-reliable blue Miami-Dade County.

If your candidate lose to DeSantis, you have a weak candidate indeed. I mean, logically, most people would vote for pretty much anybody who WASN'T DeSantis, unless the Democratic candidate was so bad that he would be virtually unelectable. Because I can't imagine anyone worse than a KKK Grand Wizard with totalitarian views actually being elected to office, unless Florida really is full of racist scum (and I have a much more optimistic view of humanity than that.)

EDIT: Just realized this thread is six months old.

He won't win on charisma, but keeping the ranters pissed may be worth some votes from the moderate majority.
