I don’t see that in your comment at all but ok. My bigger point was the state isn’t swinging left, it’s continuing its shift to the right, that longer term change is just being masked by a temporary left electorate that came out this year.
Reading this as a permanent realignment is wrong-headed. This is one election where the electorate punished an extremely unpopular president. It’s unlikely we see another democratic win like this for some time.
What this tells me about Florida is that it is a far right state now. It’s about as red as South Carolina, Mississippi, or Montana. In an election where republicans aren’t as hated it will not be close.
Thank goodness the Benevolent Socialist People’s Censors are here to protect us simple minded workers from such dangerous counterrevolutionary information we would not understand. 🙈🙉🙊
Sure if you have the infrastructure and topography to do so. But this adds to the cost.
The problem is everyone always compares solar alone to nuclear in this comparison it looks really good. However when you include the cost of storage, it doesn’t look as good.
The analyses I’ve seen suggest that we will need to build at least some nuclear to achieve the fastest and cheapest decarbonization.
I’m not denying that democrats won in 2026. Jesus people are so ignorant about how politics work it amazes me. This one election is not a trend. It’s a reflection of a specific mood among the electorate, reflecting the conditions that exist here today. It does not mean that Americans have suddenly become philosophically left overnight. You have to look over several years to see those types of changes. This is literal snowballs prove climate change isn’t real level logic.
Could this be the beginning of a seismic shift where things never go back right again? Anything is possible but that seems extremely unlikely. Trump is unpopular so 2028 could also be a pretty blue electorate but beyond that I expect reversion to the mean.
Florida did not move left as much as the rest of the country. Again, this means, setting aside this one election, that Florida over the long term is continuing to become more conservative over time.
