The Official Ron DeSantis Gavin Newsom debate thread. Thursday Nov 30

As if Biden v Trump wasn't bad enough...are these two the best our country can muster for the future? This is all we got?

Man, we deserve whatever garbage we get.

Be that as it may, the official death rate in FL was clearly higher. IF Faux presented the data "correctly" at all, I believe it should have said AGE-ADJUSTED.

Anyway, stopped watching this about an hour ago. Death Santis seemed like he was winning but Newsom was having some fun getting in jabs about his dismal polling in the GOP race.

The half hour or so that I watched seemed incredibly biased, but I am a proud Californian.

California deaths per million from Covid 19 = 2,680
Florida deaths per million from Covid 19 = 4,297

Florida deaths per million from Covid 19 = 4,297

Yep, like I said they BS'd the stat to make Floriduh look good.

Of course Fox News viewers will believe the graphic. FL did better than some of the redder states, but they certainly weren't exceptional at protecting residents.

Didn't bother to watch. Seems Pubs are very obsessed with "stuff".

Gavin Newsom delivers the final blow to Ron DeSantis' 2024 ambitions

California Gov. Gavin Newsom not only stood up for his state but made a great case for Joe Biden on Fox News

One of the most jarring aspects of the debate was that throughout, DeSantis kept bizarrely talking about feces. That's right, feces. This is actually an old right wing obsession going back to the civil rights marches, the Vietnam war protests and most recently Occupy Wall Street. There are always tales of rampant public defecation and they can't stop talking about it. DeSantis seems to have a particular fetish about this feces problem as illustrated in this bizarre moment:

Not on X and I don't know how to paste a link without sign in as I have NEVER had one.

California deaths per million from Covid 19 = 2,680
Florida deaths per million from Covid 19 = 4,297

IIRC, the excessive death difference is even bigger.

Likely because the bigger cities enacted local mandates and are in general more liberal.

DeSantis trying to smile is crazy unsettling.

Reminded me of this...

California deaths per million from Covid 19 = 2,680
Florida deaths per million from Covid 19 = 4,297

In June 2021 the FL department of health stopped reporting COVID statics.

DeSantis’ health officials to disclose withheld Florida COVID data in settlement

Florida's Department of Health has agreed to release previously withheld COVID-19 data as part of a settlement with a government watchdog group. Additionally, the department has agreed to publish detailed COVID-19 data on its website for the next 3 years.
