Hoosier Bro?

Someone else interested in this

kk

So what's your main motivation

hello

hey

hoosierbro here

are you HoosierBro

ah

Really just that we need to start talking about this. Primaries are around August and elections in November. Not a lot of time.

True

@MAGAnon did it make you admin

Yes

It's my first time actually navigating discord

OK

Sorry if I'm a little slow to respond. Juggling tasks, divided attention at the moment

that's fine

All good

let's come up with a new version for the copypasta for the general thread

here's what I have so far

2018 Midterms / Sea of Red General -- /rsg/

The left has been salivating to take back congress in a “Blue Wave” ever since their stunning defeat in 2016. We are going to make sure that it results in a Red Storm where they lose even more seats in the House and Senate.

The left has clung to the idea of a “Blue Wave" in order to give themselves hope - hope that they can bring more radicalized refugees to the United States so that we may suffer what Europe is going through, hope for an even greater souring of race relations so that even more neighborhoods are looted and burned to the ground, hope for more power for feminists to ruin your careers and industries and livelihoods, hope for more political correctness to strangle our freedom of speech, hope for more power to the establishment media to attack us for thoughtcrime, hope that they can take down President Trump - who is our hope at reversing the damage they've done over the past few decades. We are going to make their Blue Wave falter in the midst of a Red Storm.

actually, change the "Sea of Red General" part to "Red Storm General"

actually, I have most things saved here

also, here's everything i have so far on the Democrat candidates

I'm a PhotoshopDesignFag so I can help make infographics and pretty lists. I think turning some of those lists into images can save space and prevent that wall-of-text from happening

(everything I wrote up last night before bed)

nice

definitely

nice

everything I wrote up last night on the Issues

hmm, one important section that should be in every general thread is a todo-list section that any anon can work on

Yes, and info about signing up/registering to vote. I know this from personal fuckups in the past.

hmm, we also should come up with a section on why people on /pol/ should care about this, like the following draft I' just came up with.


>REMINDER that most political power in the USA isn't in the Presidency, it's in the Congress. In many ways, this can be even more impactful than Trump becoming President

>REMINDER that a Democrat congress can fuck up everything we've achieved in 2016, and they definitely will try their best to. You can bet that they will seriously try impeachment.

>REMINDER that Trump's victory is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If we fuck up now, we may NEVER get another man like him in government in our lifetime

Emphasizing that first point is key

Trump's agenda can't become a reality with a Blue congress

With a Democrat majority in the house and senate it's more likely they can impeach

oh, and let's work on the megaupload link tonight

there shouldn't be too much folders in it

let's not make it a headache to navigate

any ideas on how to structure it?

I'm thinking the first overarching folder should be "2018 Midterms"

then split it into "Congressional" (all memes/info related to congressional races) and "Gubernatorial" (all memes/info related to governor races) and "Democrat" (all memes and info related to the Democratic Party in general) and "Republican" (all memes and info related to the Republican Party)

2018 midterms -> folder for each state -> Congresseional/Gub

and split the Congressional folder into "Senate" and "House"

hmm

sure

I also think we should include general folders for the Democrats and Republicans

I'm not sure what the statistics are, but many people just vote for the person with the preferred letter next to their name without doing much research on the candidates themselves

in a way, it's not just candidate vs candidate (though the qualities of the candidate definitely matter for many voters), it's party vs party

the Democrats have a well-oiled machine when it comes to getting out the vote

they have buses and cars that take voters from low income minority areas to the polls

they probably guide them in filling out everything in the voting process

in the Alabama election, 92% of of Hillary voters turned out for Jones, while less than 50% of Trump voters turned out for Moore

if the Democrats didn't have such an efficient GOTV system, they probably wouldn't have won in Alabama

Yeah, especially now more than ever regarding the party v party

what's interesting is that you can view the numbers as pretty consistent. The amount of people who voted for Hillary compared with the amount of people who voted for Jones is pretty close. Maybe you can treat that as some sort of constant?

in comparison, 71% of Hillary's voter amount went to Ralph Northam (in Virginia)

only 66% of Trump's voter amount went to Gillespie. Seems pretty similar. I think a lot of NoVa (well-to-do white and asian) liberal voters don't need GOTV efforts to vote

Long high level overview of MI US House of Rep elections.

Last two are the important ones
