    MIAMI — Democrats are sounding the alarm about weak voter turnout rates in Florida’s biggest county, Miami-Dade, where a strong Republican showing is endangering Joe Biden’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state.

    No Democrat can win Florida without a huge turnout and big winning margins here to offset losses elsewhere in the state. But Democrats are turning out at lower rates than Republicans and at lower rates than at this point in 2016, when Hillary Clinton won by 29 percentage points here and still lost the state to Donald Trump.

    One particular area of concern is the relative share of ballots cast by young voters of color and less-reliable Democratic voters. Part of the problem, according to interviews with a dozen Democratic elected officials and operatives, is the Biden campaign‘s decision to discourage field staff from knocking on doors during the pandemic and its subsequent delay in greenlighting — and funding — a return to door-to-door canvassing.

    “We did not get the kind of funding for different vendors who would do that type of work until late in the campaign,” said Rep. Frederica Wilson, a party institution who represents Miami’s heavily Black congressional district.

    I had to go on DuckDuckGo to find this article cause Google is suppressing news. As I said earlier today, my friend in the Broward County Democrats said they were panicked about Miami-Dade, and hey could not find the votes in Broward. They have no ground game, and Trump has a huge one. On Election, Trump voters are going to outvote Democrats 2-1, but now it's looking like 3-1. The mail-in ballot are not being returned, and they are out of time to make up the difference. They even think many of the Democrats are giving Trump some points. FLORIDA IS SAFE TRUMP.

    Don't worry, Biden is going to stop the virus. Just saw it on this morning's news. Those are the exact words he used. How exciting that God has sent Joe to save us! Or, is he the antichrist?

    B-B-But ALL the polling up to this point has consistently put Biden sooooooooooooooooooooooo far ahead of Trump across this entire nation that there is no point in any Trump supporter even bothering to go vote. But NOW we are hearing that these sacred and holy polling companies were wrong again just like they were wrong in 2016. Gasp! It's almost as if those polling companies are working for the political interests of the Dem Party rather than being politically neutral as they advertise.

    Sarcasm mode off.

    They can't be wrong. They corrected their mistakes from last year. Now the bias left leaning manipulative suppression polls owned or paid for by the MSM are for reals this time. Texas is gonna turn blue. Really. It is. I'm cereal.

    What we have went through with the MSM, Social Media, Big Tech, and Public Education with their Orwellian tactics needs to deliver a big loss to the Democrats and then a massive exposure by actual honest people. We need these subversive Authoritarian *******s out of power in our society.

    America was ALWAYS about Limited Government. What today's Left wants is anything but American, and they will use their power in the bureaucracies for tyrannical reasons like what they did with the IRS and DOJ. They need to go.

    Let's hope this is true and they fall short across the nation in a big way. A lesson needs to be learned on a national scale, or we will slide into an Authoritarian dystopia of permanent single party rule by Democrats. I will welcome you all to California at that point. We went from the Golden state to the **** on the street, homeless, tax payers leaving in record numbers, and crime state.

    The robo texts I'm getting suggests it's the republicans who are panicked.

    Multiple times a day, every day, for the last two weeks - "Newt here: Why are you ignoring us? Do you want Biden to win? It's the last day for 5x match. Your $35 can save us!"

    Change the match multiplier, the amount and the name; they all say the same thing - "Don Jr. here: Why are you ignoring us? Do you want Biden to win? It's the last day for 7x match. Your $18 can save us!"

    Rinse/repeat - about 15-20 / day.

    I've easily blocked 150 numbers at this point.

    LOL, automated robocalls/texts can't panic, they are not human, they are computer programs LOL ;)

    It's when humans run around with their hair on fire screaming "Oh my god, we are underperforming in Miami-Date county, we are going to lose" - that's panicking,

    That is how they have been fun raising for the whole election. It's no an indicator of anything. The Democrats are playing catch up in Florida. Too late. Here, try this:

    'We’ve got to stop the bleeding': Democrats sound alarm in Miami
    Party officials in Florida’s most populous county are sweating weak early voting turnout among several key groups.

    MIAMI — Democrats are sounding the alarm about weak voter turnout rates in Florida’s biggest county, Miami-Dade, where a strong Republican showing is endangering Joe Biden’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state.

    No Democrat can win Florida without a huge turnout and big winning margins here to offset losses elsewhere in the state. But Democrats are turning out at lower rates than Republicans and at lower rates than at this point in 2016, when Hillary Clinton won by 29 percentage points here and still lost the state to Donald Trump."



    "“We did not get the kind of funding for different vendors who would do that type of work until late in the campaign,” said Rep. Frederica Wilson, a party institution who represents Miami’s heavily Black congressional district.

    Wilson said the good news is that Biden’s running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, is working with her on a turnout event for this weekend geared toward young Black men. But the veteran congresswoman said there are still skilled operatives in her district who excel at turnout work who have yet to get approved by the campaign, a puzzling delay for an operation that raised a record $363 million the month before.

    “I screamed. Hollered. I called. I lobbied from the top to the bottom,” Wilson said of her efforts to get turnout operations started in the community, including sending written proposals to Biden’s campaign and having virtual Zoom meetings with his advisers."

    Trump has to win Florida to win re-election. Whether he does or not, I have no clue.

    That's odd. I've gotten two texts from the Trump campaign asking for three dollars, and one text from from the Biden campaign asking me to remind three people to vote for the left. I texted the Biden people back that I was reminding anyone who would listen to vote for Trump and ignored the Trump texts. I'm not donating to politicians. That would be like donating to NFL or NBA players.

    Clown Biden can't run a campaign yet he's going to magically stop the virus.

    More bad news for Plugs, in Philadelphia he's significantly behind Hillary's '16 showing. Was in PA last week, Trump signs outnumbered Biden 5+ to 1.

    Yeah. I have no idea what sort of list I'm on. My husband has gotten three in total. I get three before noon.

    These are what I've blocked since noon today.
