It’s Florida’s population and the fact that it’s a swing state. We really need to get rid of the electoral college. I love how the same voters in Florida that vote for candidates that bail out Florida will vote against any measure to provide broad subsidies like universal healthcare or education.
Of course, it just so happens many Florida voters are over 65 and done with education and already have taxpayer funded healthcare (Medicare), and get nice taxpayer subsidies on their flood zone homes (NFIP). But why extend that courtesy to the rest of the country.
