The Florida Aristocratic Party

A lesson for Florida Dems
The Florida Democratic party has been more like the Florida Aristocratic party with elitist state chairpersons like Allison Tant and Stephen Bittel.  Paying lip service to neutrality in the governor’s race while quietly promoting  former Gov. Bob Graham’s daughter would be another in a long history of costly unforced errors by party elders. more
Florida Democrats need to take a cue from events in Alabama and Tampa or they will have learned nothing and likely never will.

Tampa's Dark Ages

 Tampa City Councils first reading of the "bathhouse" ordinance: an outdated law used to target the lgbtq community in the 80's now weaponized against sex workers, trans folks, people of color and undocumented folks.
---
This ordinance is being proposed as an anti-human trafficking law, but it serves only to arrest victims and further harm these vulnerable communities. here

Questions For Alma Gonzalez

Ryan Ross and us want to know
1. Why did you want to prevent Stacey Patel from winning? You could have just declined the nomination, but you also directed others to vote for Terrie.
-----
2. Do you stand to benefit from Terrie Rizzo as FDP Chair in a way you would not if Stacey Patel had won?
-----
3. At which point did you decide to change your view of who should be FDP Chair and what recent conversations and factors affected your decision?
-----
4. Do you feel that you let your supporters down and will you be writing a statement of explanation to them?
-----
5. As late as 24 hours before your declination, you were actively promoting your endorsements from politicians and organizations. Have those politicians and organizations reached out to you and asked why you sought their support and immediately withdrew from the race after receiving it? If so, what did you tell them?
-----
** I welcome critical engagement. I think we need to be informed about the inner workings of our party. Transparency should be more than a buzzword. here

David Straz's Self-Serving Operatives

The sweet smell of money is an aphrodesiac to political operatives whose main focus is to sell hope to a hopeless candidate, not trying to elect the poor schmuck.
-----
I talked to Straz at his open to the public spaghetti dinner Sunday at the Italian Club in Tampa.  Outside of a couple of media people, it was south Tampa socialites mixing with longtime political grifters. 
-----
But there’s a ton of money at stake for these operatives who have to do nothing more than stroke the ego of a 75-year-old elitist who supported Donald Trump and propagandize to the gullible.  
-----
Three city council members have sold their political futures in backing the farcical Straz candidacy: Yolie Capin, Frank Reddick, and Guido Maniscalco.
