People are celebrating over Republicans having minimal loses in the House and how great this is compared to the historical average. It doesn't even really matter. Those seats will be shook up in another two years. Democrats had a massive strategic victory last night. Two million felons in Florida now have voting rights and this amendment passed with a 70% majority. That means almost half of Republicans voted for it.
Just to put into perspective how massive of a strategic victory this is for Democrats, if just 1% of felons voted in Florida in 2016, Florida would have went to Hillary Clinton. Democrats in Florida are going to be working for the next two years getting felons registered to vote and making sure they get ballots. Last night, Florida went from a purple state to solid blue. Republicans that voted for this amendment just handed the state over to the Democrats on a silver platter. They handed Democrats the governorship in next elections, the Senate, most House seats and the state legislator.
This is Republicans fucking everything up again for an extremely short term gain of winning a few seats that'll be promptly lost in the next cycle. Say goodbye to Florida. It's gone forever.
Democrats just got two million potential voters for free in a state where election margins are less than 100,000 votes. Calling me a nigger for pointing this out to you isn't going to change the fact that Florida is now a blue state.
Felons are Redpilled about society. Many become conservative and start earning their pay.

>2 million No.
>guaranteed blue state Again, no.
Florida population: ~21 million Votes cast in 2016 election: ~10 million
There are MILLIONS of potential "new" voters for either side. The felons getting the right to vote certainly isn't "a good thing" but to claim that the state is now solid blue and nothing can be done is patently false.
>double posting smug anime girls this does magically give your argument more merit, sad!
Stop being retarded. Felons are mostly non-white and non-whites vote Democrat. There are legitimate counter-arguments to OP's post, this is not one of them.
>inb4 Vox Vox is propaganda, but their numbers are accurate even if the conclusions they try to push with those numbers are false.
the only cope here is you who jacks off to anime and hentai because you're an incel who probably will never even hug a woman while i bang a new one every week

it's because we need to get back to our roots. the phrase that was ushered in before the era of paid shills and bots, before trump. it has been lost from our vocabulary; this golden treasure of a phrase. the jew fears this battlecry the most:
Yes, potential. If two million white South Africans were settled in Florida and given citizenship you would be jumping with joy of the new arrival of potential voters. Felons being given the vote is the same thing except for Democrats. Not every one of the felons are going to vote. But 10%-30% will. Even if only 1% voted that would be enough to flip Florida.
Matthew Turner
Before the election i predicted that no matter what the outcome people will claim it was a loss. Even if the house stayed red the fact that it didnt become solid red would be spun as some sort of backlash against trump.
The true picture is that despite two years of heavy anti-trump propaganda they did worse in the midterms than you would historically expect to happen automatically with out any real effort at all. They fought and struggled for the barest of minimum wins.
While it would have been hilarious to see the fallout of the house staying red its honestly just pathetic that democrats are considering this any kind of a victory, and you know they arent. The party leaders are probably panicking right now.
William Thompson
This.. I used to run with a bunch of criminals and all of them would be like fuck voting how is that making illegal money? Going to a gubmint building to waste time I could be selling? Nope. I'm glad someone understands this here
Angel Murphy
I'm happy the dems won the house it means their base has to shut up and stop rioting
I forgot one very important bit of information. Florida is the most critical battleground state in the country. Every vote there is worth its weight in gold especially considering how narrow the margins are there.
>party of zionists fucks over their base Imagine my shock.
Grayson Reyes
>Seeing a lot of coping on Jow Forums Yeah, I see a lot of Dems trying to post template threads as well.
Andrew Sanders
>if just 1% of felons voted in Florida in 2016, Florida would have went to Hillary Clinton He doesn't know.
Austin Williams
nah Trump could of won without florida. the rust belt will vote for him again
Carter Ortiz
I never would have guessed that Florida is a critical battleground state, you got me there.
Landon Hughes
NOW you're thinking with portals
Juan Mitchell
>it doesn't matter we can now stack the courts without bullshit delays. including the supreme court. this matters a great deal.
Oliver Thompson
it's florida, yeah a lot of the blacks are felons, but there are just as many white felons in florida.
dont underestimate florida's crackers
Josiah Phillips
Honestly a ton of the felons who WOULD vote would be lots of white people who beat their wives or got in a bar fight. They ain't voting Democrat
Matthew Price
truth, and preventing immigration reform is going to be the democrats top priority for the next 2 years. the result will be a blue texas AND arizona in 2020. at that point republicans winning anything of value will be mathematically impossible. too little too late friends, too little too late
Asher Cook
>2 million potential voters >Only 100,000 required to swing state Criminals aren't monolithic, enough will vote to make a significant difference to a swing state.
Colton Phillips
don't forget that most criminals are minorities and will vote accordingly, florida is blue now
Jordan White
>implying dems will be as energized in 2020 >implying reps won't be more energized in 2020 to vote for trump >implying the same thing didn't happen to Obama even though he lost 60 and Trump lost 30 babby's first midterm
Dylan Torres
>first there was obama >then blacked (.) com >now voting write restored for 2 million criminals in america's wang the nigger era of america is upon us.
You're that faggot that pretended to be a cuban that voted for the nigger right?
Benjamin Hill
This is actually an interesting question. Are they allowed to vote from prison? If they commit another felony is the right revoked again, then another waiting period begins? It seems like a big mess lol.
Angel Reyes
what got passed is that those who have served their time are now allowed to vote So no. If they are in jail, they can't vote. If they commit another crime, they can't vote. So it might not be that big of a deal
Brayden Davis
>tfw the wording for restoring felon rights was wored vague as fuck and had no mention of the word "felon", "previously convicted", or "criminal" in the wording. Typical bullshit wording to obfuscate the real intent. Don't be surprised.
Also I thought it was supposed to be a blue wave. Did you mean this puddle we have on the floor this morning?
