“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.

“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

    Didn’t recognize that name at all. After reading his wiki I recognized that he was one of the Georgia run-off Senate races. Maybe he’ll do some stuff and gain some popularity in the future. From what I saw in wiki the only thing he has done so far is vote with the party and help get a college re-accredidated. The reason his campaign was somhighly funded was because he was running in one of the most contested races in the country that was flooded with cash from all over.

    I’m very glad he won, but also would someone who barely won their district really be a great possible push for a national candidate?

    Also, “not a huge supporter” and have now posted him as a name/possibility all over the thread lol… You campaign for him? Are you him?

      Because just saying:

      Biden himself said there’s over 50 other options.

      Just gets me Biden supporters doing their best owl impressions until I start blocking them for sea lioning.

      Which it’s probably time for by now.

      I mean, by the time the fifth person asks the same question instead of scrolling down… I don’t think I’m gonna be missing much. Especially since I edited Ossof into my top reply now.

        You’ve said the same thing five times and you’re surprised you’re getting the same response five times?

          What?

          You really thought I was talking to all the people who kept asking:

          Who?

          I gave the same answer each time…

          I just don’t understand how someone wouldn’t have understood that
