Is Florida really a swing state anymore? It seems Georgia and maybe NC are the new battlegrounds. I’ve lived in all of those states and it has been interesting

  Well, it's currently a "must-win" for Republicans that's reasonably close, so first and foremost they won't be the ones to upset their chances at all. In the last election, it wasn't razor-thin like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, or NC, but if the Democrats lose a few of those then they need the next runner-up like Florida. Florida was Democrat in '08, '12, and only lost by 1.29% in '16. With Republicans winning Florida by 3.36% in 2020, maybe Cuba's best chance is for Florida to actually be a lost cause to Democrats so that they go ahead with dropping the sanctions. Although, Democrats won '08 by 3% and still flipped the other way, so it's very possible to consider it fair game. If true, I've discovered why voting for your opposite choice could be a valid option if you care about a specific issue like this.

  No, it isn’t. The Florida Democratic Party is the equivalent of a 2-15 team in American football. Zero talent, zero bench, zero promising newcomers, to first order.
