Speaking as someone from one of those awkward In-the-South-yet-not-Southern areas (Central/South Florida), the system won't change unless things go completely to hell or someone forces it to. The Democratic party in this state is a punchline and the state government is on GOP lockdown despite Florida often swinging blue in presidential elections. The entire system is hosed and unfucking it will require a great deal of force.

Florida would probably turn into a blue state without much effort if we had an actual Democratic party in the state. I've been to supposed conventions for it in this state, and it's a bunch of suspicious old men who have no interest in genuine progressive ideas or putting in any actual effort. The GOP dominates Florida by default, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar situation in other Southern states.

computer parts posted:There's a massive brain drain in any red state's Democratic Party because you can get an easier job quickly if you have talent and are willing to move. Florida is a major swing state, in my experience as a Floridian, because while the state government is on GOP lockdown the actual Florida population stops being overwhelmingly conservative from Orlando on down.
