Proposal: In addition to the DNC, consider The Lincoln Project to unseat fascist Rick Scott

The fascist Rick Scott has to run again in 2024 for his Senate seat. Of course, the DNC and other Democratic organizations both local and national will work to unseat him.

Also consider, please, The Lincoln Project (TLP). Fascist Scott was one of the Senators who voted to retain Trump in the impeachment trial. TLP has stated many times that Scott is one of their targets, eventually. By voting to disenfranchise the voters of PA, he is now more prominent on the TLP radar.

Fascist Scott voted to disenfranchise the voters of PA: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/politics/lawmakers-end-republicans-effort-to-subvert-the-election-in-an-early-morning-vote.html

Those senators voting against the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania were: Josh Hawley of Missouri, Ted Cruz of Texas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming and Rick Scott of Florida.


For whatever reason, he did not vote to disenfranchise the voters of Arizona: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/politics/lawmakers-end-republicans-effort-to-subvert-the-election-in-an-early-morning-vote.html

Those voting against the results of the election in Arizona were: Mr. Hawley, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Tuberville, Ms. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Marshall and John Kennedy of Louisiana.


I know TLP is not universally popular here, but so far they are actively working for the small d democratic cause. The second they turn against President Biden or the Democratic Party, I will publicly renounce them.

For whatever reason, Rubio did NOT vote to disenfranchise AZ or PA. For once he did the right thing.

5. I started donating to them during the campaign season, and I am continuing to do so.

As far as I'm concerned, they're the good guys and I will support them unless they turn on us. IF they do, it won't be soon.

They have vowed to bring down all the people who supported and enabled tRump. That will take a while. Then they want to return to being the true opposition party (no longer the party of tRump.).

I wasn't able to donate to them, but I gave a big donation to Biden. Thank God he won.

I might prioritize my future donations to TLP, since they can say and do things that the DNC cannot do, for purely political reasons.

First we must get rid of Desantis and Rubio. Which will not be easy. We need 20 Stacy Abrams in Florida!

If she's anything like her dad, we will be well served.
