“DeSantis will not win the general because Trumpers will not vote.”
BS. I will vote against the democrat. If that means voting for DeSantis, assuming he some day becomes the republican candidate for president, I will vote for him.
By all means, you should do what your heart tells you.
But you should also know that the 2020 "election" was proof-of-concept [can we steal an election in everybody's faces, and shout down those calling vote fraud?], and the 2022 "election" was an engineered election [let's manipulate the outcome to get the results we want!].
In 2022, they wanted to squash the Red Wave - crush the apparent retaking of the Senate, and blunt the House takeover.
Mission accomplished!
Remember - they only have so much money to create ballots. Hence, they pulled all the vote fraud money out of Florida [Florida lost nearly a million Democrat "votes" from the 2018 "election"] and spent it buying US Senate races.
They didn't have enough to cover the House races, which is why you saw the "leakage" in New York and California. They were relying on unfunded local fraud, but the country is redder than we think.
The Dems lost the Long Island House seats, and they didn't retake ANY California House seats from the Pubbies.
The Republicans actually picked up a couple of the new California House seats from the Census redistricting.
