Hoosier Bro?

2018-01-07 21:51:52 UTC

Someone else interested in this

2018-01-07 21:52:01 UTC

kk

2018-01-07 21:53:26 UTC

So what's your main motivation

2018-01-07 21:54:28 UTC

2018-01-07 21:54:33 UTC

hello

2018-01-07 21:54:35 UTC

hey

2018-01-07 21:54:38 UTC

hoosierbro here

2018-01-07 21:54:40 UTC

are you HoosierBro

2018-01-07 21:54:40 UTC

ah

2018-01-07 21:58:46 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:00:05 UTC

True

2018-01-07 22:00:16 UTC

@MAGAnon did it make you admin

2018-01-07 22:00:22 UTC

Yes

2018-01-07 22:00:26 UTC

It's my first time actually navigating discord

2018-01-07 22:00:30 UTC

OK

2018-01-07 22:00:38 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:00:44 UTC

that's fine

2018-01-07 22:00:46 UTC

All good

2018-01-07 22:00:53 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:00:59 UTC

here's what I have so far

The left has been salivating to take back congress in a โ€œBlue Waveโ€ 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 โ€œBlue 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.

2018-01-07 22:01:50 UTC

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

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

2018-01-07 22:03:01 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:03:03 UTC

(everything I wrote up last night before bed)

2018-01-07 22:03:05 UTC

nice

2018-01-07 22:03:09 UTC

definitely

2018-01-07 22:03:23 UTC

2018-01-07 22:03:34 UTC

everything I wrote up last night on the Issues

2018-01-07 22:04:15 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:05:27 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:12:27 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:12:55 UTC

Emphasizing that first point is key

2018-01-07 22:13:05 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:13:35 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:15:45 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:17:07 UTC

there shouldn't be too much folders in it

2018-01-07 22:17:13 UTC

let's not make it a headache to navigate

2018-01-07 22:17:21 UTC

any ideas on how to structure it?

2018-01-07 22:17:39 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:19:02 UTC

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)

2018-01-07 22:19:24 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:19:28 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:19:29 UTC

hmm

2018-01-07 22:19:33 UTC

sure

2018-01-07 22:19:51 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:20:19 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:20:48 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:21:14 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:21:31 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:21:48 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:22:25 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:22:58 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:23:26 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:23:54 UTC

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?

2018-01-07 22:25:19 UTC

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

2018-01-07 22:26:20 UTC

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

what kinds of files are they

2018-01-07 23:39:30 UTC

2018-01-08 01:32:29 UTC

hello

2018-01-08 01:32:35 UTC

Hi

2018-01-08 01:32:48 UTC

So when are the midterm elections

2018-01-08 01:33:06 UTC

November 6, 2018

2018-01-08 01:33:10 UTC

primaries earlier

2018-01-08 01:33:22 UTC

what's your state

2018-01-08 01:33:26 UTC

Florida

2018-01-08 01:33:39 UTC

make sure you vote Bill Nelson out this November 6

2018-01-08 01:33:44 UTC

I used to live in Orlando

2018-01-08 01:33:50 UTC

what part are you from

2018-01-08 01:34:03 UTC

In the libral part near Miami

2018-01-08 01:34:47 UTC

your house race might be tougher, but ousting Nelson is definitely doable

2018-01-08 01:39:31 UTC

I'm out for a bit. Good luck guys

2018-01-08 02:05:50 UTC

It shows that both of my representatives are democrats

2018-01-08 02:48:04 UTC

Alright. I'm back as I can be

2018-01-08 02:48:47 UTC

So I'm gonna go ahead and make channels for each individual state up in 2018

2018-01-08 02:48:56 UTC

For info dumps, news, etc

2018-01-08 02:48:58 UTC

hell yeah

2018-01-08 02:49:24 UTC

you're going to include a link to this discord in every general, then ?

2018-01-08 02:49:30 UTC

sure why not

2018-01-08 02:50:21 UTC

how popular is Joe Donnelly over there in Indiana

2018-01-08 02:51:13 UTC

I live in one of IN's few blue bastions and I think if his opponent is strong enough he will lose

2018-01-08 02:51:17 UTC

why?

2018-01-08 02:51:23 UTC

just wondering

2018-01-08 02:51:35 UTC

I live in NYC. Gillibrand seems unbeatable right now

2018-01-08 02:51:56 UTC

Schumer got 70.6% in 2016

2018-01-08 02:52:05 UTC

what's funny is that he got 1 million more votes than Hillary did

2018-01-08 02:52:24 UTC

it makes me wonder if there were any who voted for Schumer and for Trump

2018-01-08 02:53:06 UTC

only 2 million people voted for the Republican senate candidate, while 2.8 million voted for Trump

2018-01-08 02:54:15 UTC

Indiana democrats are not the uber-progressive city slicker Hillary types. (We went Bernie) I think the majority of blue collar classical dems went Trump, honestly. The progressives/lefties in our state don't like Donnelley for being too moderate of a democrat. He's pushing hard for the remaining Union democrats to back him but even so, I think he will get voted out unless our final Repub candidate sucks

2018-01-08 02:55:38 UTC

and once you leave the few blue strongholds in the state, no one likes him

2018-01-08 02:57:32 UTC

makes sense

2018-01-08 03:01:58 UTC

you have a tough one in NY

2018-01-08 03:02:05 UTC

yeah

2018-01-08 03:02:11 UTC

best case is getting more in the House

2018-01-08 03:02:13 UTC

my congressman used to be Anthony Weiner

2018-01-08 03:02:20 UTC

ohfuck

2018-01-08 03:02:29 UTC

I'm a former leftist

2018-01-08 03:02:34 UTC

I was a fan of Weiner back in the day

2018-01-08 03:02:50 UTC

my current congressman is this Asian lady

2018-01-08 03:02:52 UTC

what made you change

2018-01-08 03:04:28 UTC

I became libertarian-ish with leftist sympathies in 2012 because Obama was a disappointment and the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality appealed to me more than the "whine for more gibs" mentality

2018-01-08 03:04:54 UTC

then the rise of cancerous SJW/feminist bullshit in 2014/2015 and Obama's support of it, made me say sayonora to the left for good

2018-01-08 03:05:15 UTC

I think the divide and conquer of occupy wall st. was a big wake up call for many leftists

2018-01-08 03:05:25 UTC

a lot of people here in NYC vote Democratic because they're minorities whose families raise them that way, and a lot of them actually don't even hate Trump

2018-01-08 03:06:12 UTC

the only ones who stir up a lot of shit about him are white shitlibs and blacks with anger issues and young hispanics who prefer saying 'Latinx' instead of Latino

2018-01-08 03:06:37 UTC

I switched when I learned about basic economics

2018-01-08 03:07:40 UTC

I live near Trump's childhood home

2018-01-08 03:07:47 UTC

I went here this past summer and took a pic

2018-01-08 03:07:55 UTC

heheh cute

2018-01-08 03:08:18 UTC

it's a quaint little neighborhood in the far eastern side of Queens

2018-01-08 03:09:14 UTC

it looks like any other American suburb, except that the most powerful man in the world used to grow up there

2018-01-08 03:09:35 UTC

(assuming you consider Trump the most powerful and not some Rothschild)

2018-01-08 03:09:36 UTC

so I'm a little drunk and I typed "pennsylvania" in google to make sure i spelled it right and the top news story from 4 hours ago is that one of PA's police chiefs got arrested in a child sex scandal sting. FUCK YEAH

2018-01-08 03:10:07 UTC

oh yeah, we should include (Pedophilia / Child Abusers) in the 'issues' section

2018-01-08 03:10:27 UTC

if you tie the Democratic party to child abuse, they're fucked

2018-01-08 03:10:33 UTC

trafficking

2018-01-08 03:10:50 UTC

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if there are more child abusers in government than in the Catholic church

2018-01-08 03:11:00 UTC

after all, the government is more powerful than the church at this point

2018-01-08 03:11:16 UTC

it makes sense that it's smarter for a child abuser to be in government

2018-01-08 03:14:54 UTC

ok so I think I made rooms for each state up in 2018

2018-01-08 03:15:15 UTC

technically every state is up, because House races are every 2 years

2018-01-08 03:16:53 UTC

true

2018-01-08 03:17:12 UTC

guess I'll make rooms for every state

2018-01-08 03:40:32 UTC

@TrippyTurtle what nation are you playing in HOI4?

2018-01-08 03:40:43 UTC

I havent chosen yet

2018-01-08 03:40:51 UTC

its a multiplayer game

2018-01-08 04:26:15 UTC

2018-01-08 04:26:30 UTC

The Germany player is not following the server rules

2018-01-08 04:56:00 UTC

this is from a retardedly leftist magazine, but worth looking at

2018-01-08 05:28:52 UTC

If we take all 36 seats and retain all our own, we will have a total of 277 seats to 158 Democrat seats, which will enable us to pass pretty much all of President Trumpโ€™s agenda if the Senate races go well too.

2018-01-08 05:31:03 UTC

I like how this thread has survived all day on pol. It's got a lot of eyes on it, even if they don't all reply.

what's up

2018-01-10 01:07:45 UTC

2018-01-10 01:07:52 UTC

though there's only 5 people in this Discord so far

2018-01-10 01:07:55 UTC

Jumped in from /pol, working on the current dem beliefs and stuff that we were talking about in the thread

2018-01-10 01:07:59 UTC

2018-01-10 01:08:01 UTC

Ohio

2018-01-10 01:08:15 UTC

2018-01-10 01:08:21 UTC

I'm the OP of the current thread

2018-01-10 01:08:31 UTC

and the guy who made the first general a couple days ago

2018-01-10 01:08:46 UTC

Sweet! Give me some time to research what I can and I'll post it here

2018-01-10 01:08:57 UTC

Nice NIce!

2018-01-10 01:09:46 UTC

The reason I mentioned it was because we shouldn't let people forget what happened after that election

2018-01-10 01:10:04 UTC

And during the rally's either

2018-01-10 01:11:43 UTC

definitely, I like your enthusiasm

2018-01-10 01:11:52 UTC

by "that election" are you referring to Alabama

2018-01-10 01:12:11 UTC

No I'm talking during all the rally's for Trump and his election.

2018-01-10 01:12:50 UTC

Right after the election there was a lot of antifa stuff and sjw crap going on that people should be reminded about on a constant basis

2018-01-10 01:13:04 UTC

Heading into the midterms

2018-01-10 01:15:24 UTC

I'm gonna grab something to eat, I'll get back to you on here.

Mabye we can change it to War Room General after the midterm elections

2018-01-11 02:30:38 UTC

And how about organizing the state channels into catergories of their regions

2018-01-11 02:33:07 UTC

@TrippyTurtle yeah, we can consider changing it to War Room General

2018-01-11 02:33:22 UTC

in regards to reorganizing the state channels, let's wait until we have more people in this general

2018-01-11 02:33:44 UTC
