so

that's 1 of each

*for

Okay, don't mention voting in front of your mom, in front of your dad go right ahead and remind him

Unless you're sure she'll vote R this time around

also are the imperators admins/owners and such? (as in the people who're in charge of server partnerships and such)

alright, i'll do that

@Red Storm (in NYC) is the owner of the server, I'm in a mod position

I plan to do that, however, knowing my mom, she'll probably plan to vote anyways

ah alright, i'll dm him about that though

Then try swinging her, taxes are usually what makes moderates swing

na economically she won't budge

also I doubt she'd take advice from her kid lmao

one of the problems with winning over women is they don't like trump's character, generally

true

my mom has quite the grude against donnie, unfortunately

my dad is 50/50 on him

I wonder if my mom would like Trump if she was still alive. She hated him as a celebrity but so did I

Trump is polarizing. Some women hate him, some women love him for the alpha male attitude

I think she would because he cares about normal people. I couldn't stand him as a celebrity but I really like him as President

My ma wasn't into him very much but she came around eventually after enough discussions

Women tend to come around with their husbands, usually are softer on politics, but will still vote if they're asked

that's why single women have such a major liberal tendency

@everyone Styxhexenhammer666 is having a chat with Shiva Ayyadurai

Excelllent

he is a very good candidate

i did a lot of anti-monsanto activism in the day

We should get the reddit decorated http://jdmcreator.byethost5.com/lab/redditgenerator/?i=2

Great idea, you in charge of it?

i have access

ill see about decorating it

maybe make a banner

there must be some good templates

yeah, definitely make it look nice, aesthetic is important

gimme dat tl;dr

In CA the top two people in a primary go to the general

so its possible that the top two could be two Republicans since there's so many Democrats running it would split the vote among them

whoa

In districts that are currently republicans at least

we should keep quiet about this

In this case, we could push the most obscure candidates in the district w/ sockpuppets, that way we can pave the road for this to happen.

Yeah exactly

If the gop approves this monstrosity— a repudiation of the President’s position on the core issue he was elected on— the party deserves to die. And rest assured, it will

Who is supporting it in the house?

And the senate

8 GOP Senators

No House GOPers

Do you have a list of who they are?

Senator Rounds, Senator Isakson, Sen Alexander, Senator Collins, lisa murkowski, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, Cory Gardner

Flake's seat is the only R on that list going up for reelection this year, and that issue has already been taken care of.

Trump'll veto it if it gets passed, I doubt the House'll pass it

18 days until DACA (hopefully) dies

Yeah, we definitely have to work on that

remember,

the GOP candidate won UNOPPOSSED last time

The incumbent resigned on a scandalous basis, that depresses the party's population, same thing happened in my district in '06.

Stabenow explains vote: “I’m just not a supporter of sanctuary cities.” Says “better way to do things”

Stabenow could be more vulnerable than we think

huh

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 you think that will make her vulnerable to progressives not voting for her because of that ?

no, i'm suggesting if she were to vote against her own party like that then she must be seeing insider polling that shows her vulnerable against moderates and conservatives

insider polling is something only they can see right?

ye, it's when they pay for it

I wonder if they're even more accurate than the ones we see

I wonder if Stabenow is swingable party-wise? Is this her only conservative position?

as far as I can tell, yes

@FLanon @🎃Boo-ton🎃 are we in agreement that 'based black man' John James is the best candidate for the GOP nomination for senator in Michigan

pretty much

probably, he has a good rap w/ Detroit business, which could be helpful

Stabenow will no doubt win in that area, but making the margins close could be key for a victory

The veteran stuff's also helpful

He's a fresh face, pretty decently down the line on the issues, vet which is always helpful, a businessman from Detroit, and on the other side you have a tired incumbent who's been elected in the same state for decades. The anti-establishment angle could be helpful, and with the anti-sanctuary position that Stabenow's taking, if we can divide the Dems and make Stabenow look like a "Trump collaborator", MI can be a victory.

What's that Pennsylvania seat looking like?

tough to know

lemme check

not much polling on it

Lou Barletta is our guy in that race, and with Trump's endorsement of him, he's pretty much guaranteed to win the primaries, we just need to push him for the general election.

How do we get people out to vote?

On an individual basis, it's a damn big state

We can push for the Amish to vote by showing the degeneracy the Dems are pushing

I know someone earlier said they can't vote, that's not true, most don't choose to.

How can we increase Amish turnout?

If you want to work for Barletta's campaign, you can probably rally some of them to vote.

Their voter rate is currently about 10-15%, which is small but shows there's room for major potential.

There's actually a group committed to getting them to the polls: http://www.amishpac.com/

If we can get them to become more of a fixture in PA and OH elections, they'll become irreversible red states.

They were mainly active during 2016, but the fact is that we can definitely get the ball rolling if we push more people to vote.

If you have the spare time, work for Lou's campaign and try getting the ball rolling on this, it's a very important race.

Other than the Amish, generally the news of the new jobs and coal mines in PA should be a talking point.

Alright. What about North Dakota/Montana? We got any good candidates to potentially donate to in those?

In ND, apparently the current at-large Representative for the state is considering a run at the moment, in Montana I'm not sure of our candidates over there.

I know in Michigan we have John James, but do we have any good people in Minnesota or Wisconsin running?

MN is a mess at the moment, small field of candidates for the elections in both seats, there's more focus on the special election.

And on the Montana question, our guy for that state is a Matt Rosendale.

What's his claim to fame?

He's the auditor of Montana, and wants the wall built
