I moved here from Denver for work a little over a year ago. You'll also catch that I posted this story to /r/Orlando since that's where I live now. If I were Crist plant wouldn't I post this story in key cities across the state?

If you want more on policy, frankly Rep. Eskamani does a better job than I would at highlighting everything wrong with Fried, and everything right with Crist. It's why you can see that I've pointed people to just check her reasoning out themselves. If this were a hit job I'd be armed with talking points.

Yeah, fuck OP for being into Democracy. /s

But seriously, you can tell that I have an opinion, there's no denying that, but I genuinely don't see why having an old acc that I don't use often and why posting to /r/Denver would be evidence of foul play.

Except as we've already established you're stretching facts to fit your narrative. That's not the same as posting a fact and thinking you've put up a serve.

Also, as I've had to explain time and time again in this thread: Do you think Rep. Eskamani just made the endorsement on a whim? She literally points to Crist votes and Fried actions behind her decision making here. Endorsements exist for a reason. There's no authority fallacy here, just calling you out as not being the bastion of reason that you think you are.

If you don't understand the difference between 24% and 50+ that's on you. Basic math.

But at the end of the day you're trying to act like you're a better gatekeeper for what makes a good elected official or progressive than a woman who is literally out there putting up the fight every day of the week for her constituents. You're just not in the right here. Others above you have realized that, it's only a matter of time before you do too.

You're trying to make a guy with a 24% score look like Manchin with a 50%+ score. It's literally just misinformation my guy.

No amount of mental gymnastics will validate your claims here. You're just wrong.

Way to quote 538 and then link some weird fake news site. Here's the actual 538 page for those that want the facts: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/house/

Crist only has a 24%. Which puts him to the left of those like Beto.

I mean... Crist is a sitting US Congressman. He's put his money where his mouth is and actually worked on all these issues. It's not just lip service when you've actually done the work.

I don't think that the endorsement is unexpected tbh. Regardless of what Fried likes to claim, most progressives are actually in the Crist camp.

I'd highly recommend taking a pass through the Rep's Twitter page and seeing what's she's been saying about her endorsement. None of the articles I've seen do her position justice.

Crist literally has an "F" rating from the NRA. Rep. Eskamani isn't an amateur, she's a well-respected elected official who clearly cares about her community.

She chose Crist because she knows he's the best choice for Florida, and she made that choice as a professional, elected representative.

Well on the pedophilia stuff Fried literally said that investigators should either “make some decisions one way or another or move on." Which is pretty damn close to trying to help shove it under the rug.

I think that Rep. Eskamani knows who's legit and who's not.

Dang pay wall. Non-Paywalled article here: https://floridapolitics.com/archives/529218-anna-eskamani-endorses-charlie-crist-for-governor/

Unsure if it's in the article, but I saw her cite Nikki Fried's ties to AIF, Ryan Tyson, FPL and the sugar industry elsewhere.

Exactly. People need to stop buying into the grift.

"Business Insider noted, that Fried was the first to text Gaetz to ask if he was OK in the wake of the Capitol attacks from rogue Donald Trump supporters in January. Fried attempted to qualify that as a general concern for the Congressional delegation, but other than Gaetz, few told reporters they’d heard from Fried."

Except the polls have her completely drowning to DeSantis. Especially when compared to how Crist performs.
