“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.

    What do you mean? It’s harder to justify improving the political situation in coastal states because of global warming?

      No, he means literally, it’s physically difficult to stand

      Because the coast is sinking

      Um. Florida’s coastline is literally dredged back from the ocean onto the beach by heavy machinery nearly every night. The state is slipping into the ocean so fast, the local government is literally clawing it back in impotent denial.

        Ok, so we aren’t worth the effort because the collective shittiness of everyone on the planet is destroying the coastline. Cool. Fuck you. I didn’t choose to be born here and I can’t afford to leave. I’m glad there’s people like you out there that are so quick to flippantly dismiss the lives of 21 million people

          That’s not how I interpreted their comment. It seems to me that they were making a statement about the broad political climate of Florida being somewhat of a lost cause, using the example of ineffectively trying to stop the ocean from reclaiming the land while simultaneously railing against efforts to combat climate change.

          You specifically are not the problem, but a majority of your neighbors are. The problem isn’t going to be fixed by national political forces, y’all need to organize and fix it yourselves.

          “Flippantly dismiss”? Ironic, while you do the same to 2,610,726 Floridians in your juvenile tantrum. FFS, Florida’s population has been above 21 million people for over five years, you nonce.

            The census info from 2020 puts the population at 21.78 million. I’m not going to scour the web for realtime population updates for a fucking comment on the Internet. And if we’re going to be that pedantic, your numbers are wrong too. 25 people are born every hour in Florida. Better hope those numbers you pulled are up to date!

            My juvenile tantrum? Thats hilarious coming from some dipshit that came in from nowhere to hurl insults at me and insinuate that I’m a sexual predator. Just wanna be angry cause I got a number wrong? Does your diaper need changed too? Is mommy weaning you off the teat and that’s why you’re grumpy? Fucking pathetic
