Dem Gubernatorial Candidate David Jolly Shares Socialist Positions: Trans ‘Rights’ for Children, Crushing 2nd Amendment

Democrat gubernatorial candidate David Jolly is sharing the top of the ticket race with Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Senate candidate Angie Nixon in Florida, and despite acting as a moderate Democrat, Jolly shares many of the same positions as DSA.

Jolly – a Republican turned Democrat – has attempted to position himself as a moderate Democrat, but that is anything but the case. He has openly said he wishes to apologize to the world for Florida’s “culture wars” and sided with disgraced former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci during the pandemic, fleeing Florida to hide in restriction-laden Pennsylvania while hurling insults at Gov. Ron DeSantis for championing personal freedom.

While he does not formally consider himself a member of DSA, Nixon – the other big ticket race in the state – is an actual DSA member, despite denying that she is a socialist.

Regardless, Jolly is in good company, as he happens to align with many of the positions promoted by socialists.

Charlie Crist tops him. Been R, D, and Independent. Of course, Crist is a nut, so there’s that

My favorite line was Marco Rubio calling Charlie Christ an opportunist in a debate. Now this guy is all over the place. Too many voters gotta be ok with no core values.

He definitely shouldn’t stand a chance in Florida, but....

Was it really less than 10 years ago that state almost elected a racist homo crackhead as Governor? Yes.

Has Florida come a long way since then and become one of the best states in the union thanks mainly to the fact that they elected the guy who ran against the racist homo crackhead? Of course.

Byron Donalds has a decent congressional record and should be a decent Governor, but he is far from universally popular within the GOP and he gives the Democrats a lot of ammunition to hammer him with (in 2026 they don’t even require a very large hammer). Donalds may still win fairly easily but he is only up right now by about 5 points.

If he doesn’t screw it up, which is hardly guaranteed, Donalds will prevail. And every thing which Jolly does to energize the left should harm him with those in the middle.

That equation doesn’t work everywhere (we’d like to think it surely DOES work in Texas, but hold that thought) but it damn well should in Florida. Jolly doesn’t have to be the nutjob that James Talarico is, in order to alienate sane voters. But Donalds does have some baggage a la Ken Paxton and that’s why he didn’t even get 50% in the primary though none of his rivals were even close.

From 2019–2025, Florida gained about 2.3 million people through net migration—approximately 1.8 million from other U.S. states (domestic) and 0.5 million from other countries (international)—plus about 1.45 million births and minus about 1.38 million deaths, for a total population increase of roughly 2.37 million people.

“””Democrat Florida gubernatorial candidate David Jolly”””

Old Florida joke:

A Republican, an Independent, and a Democrat walk into a Tallassee bar, and the bartender says: Hello Charlie (Crist)

today’s version-— Hello David Jolly.

Another whi&&er, deliberately promoted to the Judas Goat so Democrat 'election consultant' mercenaries can launder hundreds of millions through guaranteed loser candidates re: Amy McGrath v Miotch 2020 & Charles Booker v Miotch successor Andy Barr, 2026.

That 9-figure grift dark money, after making the 'consultants' and their associated DC law firms multi-millionaires, is then funneled back to MB operatives like smell-Sayad.

There is a unified viable solution to this problem.

Jolly should state his first action in Office would be to declare everyone under 18 a ward of the state. He could then also declare prostitution legal and rent the children and teens to Democrat perverts and Muslims and pocket the cash.
