**_AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH_**

what now

Florida seat flipped

did you vote?

dude what district was it

HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW

Florida-72, House Legislature

I don't think that's near me, lemme check

I don't live in the district

ugh

it's a 5-point shift,

so not _that_ bad, but still

a loss

So was it a swing seat pretty much?

Trump won here with 52% of the vote

sort of

That's swing

rip my optimism

Yeah, state legislature situation's not as good as we need it to be, we're still in the "high and dry" mode down there

my blackpilled-self has returned 💊

Besides, +5 is nowhere close the old shit we got, +20, one of them was +50 right?

there's still elections in OK and GA

so let's see

The national GOP is not paying attention at the local level, that's the thing.

The thing is that the GOP is not in full activist/campaigning mode yet, the left is

We've just got to have to make things right at a national level, and then when state legislatures come up, then you'll see straight down the ticket voting

There's two groups paying attention to these elections, us in this discord, and leftists

i've been doing this wrong,

i should be analyzing the local elections by using a line chart to show the swing,

not averaging all elections together

Makes sense, it creates a trend

right

local elections don't predict federal elections,

but,

they do represent trend

They do predict whether one side is getting more popular or gaining traction

right

Now, if I were in control of some huge network of GOP voters and I could organize people to rush to X district when an election is coming, then we'd be able to do something about it

As it happens, that's not our reality, so we've got to take it as it comes and focus on the bigger picture

We still should have the data on state elections though

sadly we don't seem to have right wing online organization like what you see on r*ddit

Yeah, unfortunately we can't send people to knock doors or poster campaign to every election area coming up

/r/BlueMidterm2018 has enough subscribers to the point where for each special election for state legislatures, there's at least one user saying "I live in this district and blahblahblah"

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueMidterm2018/comments/7xe2wa/breaking_margaret_good_has_won_florida_hd72/

Hopefully someday we get that kind of traction and are able to maintain it, but as it stands we can't get knocked off our feet by this kind of stuff

for years, the left has been much more active online than the right

Today I feel like we've got some good info, the idea that Trump is at positive favorability here is amazing, Scott gaining ground and Nelson losing it

@Red Storm (in NYC) yeah and they've capitalized by monopolizing it ideologically

that has been changing with the rise of the 'alt-right' and Gen Z and people getting disenfranchised with the left

but it's still the case that the right mostly consists of people who get their news from Fox and talk radio

Wherever the wind blows, I'll go, but as for right now, let's keep the focus on the national elections, and updating the maga db some more.

Not sure how far @Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ is with the site, but we'll see what we can do when all of our stuff is built

yeah, we really, really really need to get that Wordpress blog up and running

that's the next big step

I've noticed that people have been bringing up "red storm" in other threads on /pol/

so we've already left our mark on /pol/

remember: even if the /rsg/ threads aren't getting many replies at the moment, people are still looking at them and the red storm oriented posts in /ptg/, which makes the idea of a 'red storm' stew in their minds and also makes them think about the midterms more often

Good won more precincts in the district than any Dem in recent memory

Was this a state thing or comgressinal seat?

Dems are getting good turnout, a lot of it seems to be complete BS tho, like with AL. 92% of presidential turnout, and 100% of Obama levels for blacks.

🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

Want to get a thread going guys?

i can make it

little late it seems

i have a suggestion,

every time there is a special election,

we center a thread around it

post maps, candidate info, instructions how to register, etc.

As in like an "/rsg/ x district election edition" format?

yes

Alright, on the day of the election or days before?

one thread before, and then dedicate the whole of the election day following

Okay, not sure how we can get something major mobilized on that short of notice, you may get one or two people who possibly live in the district, then you've gotta figure out if they're autistic enough to campaign for the candidate the day of

more elections in a week

Can you Republican Brainlets vote. Seriously it's like you want America to become like Brazil 2.0. We already lost 36 seats, it's like you fags want to beat Obama's losing record. Fucking vote. Lazy sack of shits. Your lucky you have that old Boomer Trump that will do six or seven rallies in the summer, for you lazy faggots. These are my nuts, I'm done with you loser faggots. Fuck you

We don't have enough traction at the moment, just calm down

😒 ...k

Alright, now, we should have people campaigning where elections happen, but the thing is that we can't have some people drive all over the country and put posters up everywhere, and we also don't have the machinery enough to get a handful of people from each state and tell them to do that for these state special elections.

We just have to focus on getting all of our stuff built so we can get on that track, and meet the influence of places like that blue midterm subreddit. There's only so much we can do right now and getting hopeless is worth nothing.

I really need you to pull through this, ok?

fine 😤

Tomorrow me and @Red Storm (in NYC) will work on this:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJHNeQ9taxwMJlAEKAhTpcM5SnMT2sQExCu5ikv59OonS8eg/viewform

It's something to bide the time, and it's productive

@Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ make sure to give us updates on the blogger, ok

The Red Storm Twitter will get worked on some more to update people on the candidates after it gets unsuspended, and I have no clue what to make of the subreddit to be honest.

That's the agenda to get the ball rolling

@FLanon i had to delay that since the ACA website needed to be fixed, since I finished that this weekend I will get a working site going for Redstorm

@everyone

@Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ Alright, I get there's priorities, good to know we're in progress now on the site.

Anyone know when the suspension on the twitter will get lifted?

Perhaps we could make a new account or something when we're prepared with everything else

lol are you talking about Paul Nehlen?

No, the red storm twitter got suspended temporarily

We haven't even tweeted

K

watch this,

**+3** seats
