This is definitely what Dems in disarray looks like.

Nikki Fried is in charge of the Florida DNC. Angie Nixon is the new Democrat Senate nominee for the open Senate seat in Florida. Apparently, these two are not getting along. There is allegedly lots of yelling.
Florida's new Democratic Senate nominee, Angie Nixon, and the state party's chair had a heated conversation Friday which included a yelling match about the impact of socialism and the challenges of campaigning in a red state like Florida, three people familiar with the conversation tell Axios.
Why it matters: The conflict exposes the fault line in the party between the progressive base embodied by Nixon and the establishment represented by the state party's chair, Nikki Fried.
- Democrats already face an uphill battle in their effort to unseat Republican Sen. Ashley Moody. An escalating war of words between Nixon and Fried complicates efforts to unify Democrats.
Zoom in: Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who won the primary in a shocking upset over Alex Vindman earlier this week, expressed frustrations to Fried that she had not received sufficient help from the state party.
- Fried, in return, warned that Nixon's ties to the DSA could give an opening to the GOP to attack her, sources told us.
According to two people who spoke with Nixon, both she and Fried yelled at each other over the course of the call. Another person who spoke to Fried said the chair did not yell but was yelled at.
There are hardly any Democrats left in Florida. They certainly can't afford to be fighting like this. Womp-womp.
OHHH! I just know Angie turned that lady every which way but loose on that call 😂 https://t.co/0trCXXPXso

Oh, to be a fly on the wall.
Maybe the woman who won her primary with an impressive coalition should be allowed to run her campaign the way she wants 🤷♂️ https://t.co/KyXiASTLki

Absolutely! The Democrats should let her do her thing! Go full commie and really tell the people how she feels.
She’s trying to save you, you can expect exactly 0 cuban support running on socialism. https://t.co/t0m0gRjkJr

Crazy how all the people who fled Communism really hate Communism. Who could have guessed?
Nikki Fried needs to tread carefully. She probably didn’t want Angie Nixon to win in the first place and thinks she can dictate things. She can’t. The FL Dem Party has been getting their teeth kicked in since she took over and Angie Nixon is now bringing new energy. https://t.co/xNXaPJ5E0E

Actually, they should let Angie run all the Democrat campaigns. She knows how to win, after all.
idk if a dem senate flip in florida is even plausible but one thing worth noting is that the florida democrats organization is not only incompetent but also peak zog and deeply anti-black and will very likely function as an active impediment rather than a support structure. https://t.co/TwUhuh8zBH

The Democrats are deeply racist. That's so true. They have been since the days of the KKK. Literally, no one should vote for them.
