It's about an even playing field

But is the government really the way to do that? That seems extremely authoritarian. Why not do it from the ground up

Get people to support the cause in making new social media platforms

The issue is that social media is a field which encourages consolidating into a few organizations.

If someone wants to speak with you over social media, it's just unwieldy to have 500 different ones and update them all regularly.

And also "beating up businesses" is not a fair assessment of what this does.

It doesn't cost them a cent.

Yeah, but that doesn't give you a justification to weaponize the bureaucracy against them.

It's inherently anti-free market

We're using their product

Their service that they created and provide

The free market isn't always a good thing.

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the sake of the general public.

It's a lot better than corporatism

Or socialism

And I never said it was always a good thing

That's debatable if it's better than corporatism

But this doesn't seem like a justifiable scenario for more government control over he economy

Of course it is

Social media is the de-facto public field of engagement at the moment, all that power shouldn't be in just a few hands.

I'm not willing to argue the merit of entire economic systems atm, let's stick to social media.

What happened to our private server?

check your dms

actually, this is what happened

it got replaced with the new one

Ok

You know what I don’t get

If Ohio is so competitive, then why is it that since 1992, the Democrats haven’t controlled much in this state except between 2006-2010 cause we all know why?

anywho. lets's not ramble on here in the midterm section

BREAKING: NEW MISSOURI SENATE POLL FROM MASON-DIXON:

CLAIRE MCCASKILL (D) 45%
JOSH HAWLEY (R) 44%
UNDECIDED 11%

It's gonna be a close one!

It's already close

which means one or the other will have a lead in the last month

Another thing, not too many people know who Hawley is yet, McCaskill is an incumbent senator

this is true

_Most_ Missourians don't have any idea who Hawley is

New Morning Consult State polls

@FLanon Florida: 0 Net Trump Approval

oh boy FL the mega centrist

North Carolina: 0

Indiana: 1

Georgia: 5

Texas: 4

Missouri: 5

Arizona: -1

Ohio: -4

> Ohio is that bad

Lol no

Nevada: -6

North Dakota: +10

It's probably just Cleveland and Toledo pulling Ohio leftward.

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 lol it shouldn't be hard for the R nominee to get enough of that 11% undecided, assuming that poll is even legit

@Rhodesiaboo the argument I've seen leftists give for Sherrod Brown winning is that he is a "real populist" and that Trump only got a +8 margin in Ohio because he campaigned as a populist

do you know who your parents are supporting for the GOP nomination against Brown? I think Gibbons is probably the better candidate in comparison to Renacci

Damn it, Mandel

HOLY SHIT

@FLanon

@Deleted User

what?

elaborate

oops wait

@Deleted User probably Gibbons, I haven’t asked.

MO Gov. Greiters vows to fight on despite accusations with legal assistance of AG Hawley

hmm, wonder what effect that will have

not a good idea to drag Hawley into a sex scandal like this @FLanon

if he gets exonerated or something, maybe it'll be a plus

So glad Paul Ryan’s retiring

Who do you guys think will replace him as speaker?

@Allergic a lot of people here are naming Steve Scalise

not only is he ideologically uncucked and has fame for being shot, he's currently the Majority Whip

probably has the highest chance

Sweet I’m cool with scalise

No announcement yet?

at the risk of sounding like a 72D bill mitchell-tier idiot, it's interesting that trump's spent days bloviating about syria & russia considering he always talks about element of surprise... if he wanted to actually harm them, he's sure given em a lot of warning to prepare for it

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 more like 72D Red Storm (NYC: Founder) tier ubergenius

Scalise definitely has the edge to succeed Ryan, in large part to that shooting last year.

He's a decent guy, and definitely would implement the Trump campaign agenda better than Ryan ever would.

That's one down, one to go. McConnell will be gone after 2020.

And yeah, Trump suspiciously did give Assad and Russia ample time to prepare for any attack.

just putting this out there

It has also been 56 since the AP report stating that Trump would make a decision on Syria in "24-48 hours". He certainly is giving a ton of time for this to happen.

I would expect bombings certainly, but there will be no dead Russians, and a high possibility of a low Syrian casualty number.

the game's not over yet

this is all extrapolation

keep braggin', slanty-eyes. In the end, I'm always right @Deleted User

the redder, the more Whites in the state feel uncomfortable with the thought of living around Black folks

I wonder what causes the anomaly of New Mexico?

wait......Virginia is redder than montana?

what?

No black folks in NM or MT

hmmm

It's funny. most of my neighbors actually black

hmmmmmmmmm i wonder why

it seems as if living near blacks makes you hate them

🤔

rly makes you think yes

that does seems to be the connection

that must be why places like vermont are cucked

they support things like blm

cause its like all white

I have a theory

if only they were exposed

if Blacks moved into Portland, Oregon,

Oregon would flip red in a year

^^^

they shouldn't be exposed by importing them en masse over there, of course

we have the internet, this can be demonstrated by different means

of course not

thats one of the reasons i got redpilled

i used to live in a super white area

then i moved to california and got cuturally enriched

Washington conducted a study that really confirms this,

In Boston, one of the most white and liberal cities in the country,

they surveyed some regular white train passengers,

and asked them if they supported a path for legalization of illegal immigrants,

and they overwhelmingly said yes

then, WaPo sent two Latinos to go on the train for a few days and speak Spanish the whole time,

a week later,

they surveyed the same regular white passengers,

and suddenly they were against amnesty

I used to think latinos and whites were the same

when i lived in a majority white area

since they assimilated

and when i mvoed here

very interesting analysis

i heard spanish on a constant basis

do you have the link?

different culture

yes hold on

the accent is always what killed me

here

hmmmm

we could culturally enrich the liberals

I credit @Walter Johnson for finding this

whenever I hear them talk they always have this fucking obviously foreign accent that makes me want to fucking jump off a building

back in HS

I'm not sure how I feel about Mexicans.......because two of my best friends are Mexican (With some Japanese)

but its still better than them shouting in a foreign language

This confirms my theory that exposure to Non-Whites shifts them to the Right

i have some good mexican friends

it does more than any political argument or debate you can make

but i can only get along with a super minority of them

yep

a bunch of them were born here

it's easy to assimilate them when they are a very small portion of the population

WHY DO THEY HAVE THE ACCENT

or the instagram bio

Western Florida is a good example of this @FLanon

and they talk about how much they love mexico

the places they live are more similar to mexico than they are to the US

this is why I advocate for the revokation to jus soli

parts of california are identical to mexico

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 an example of what exactly

making it easy to assimilate them?

right

nonono sweetie

I don't think so

well, the ones I know have American accents, they don't even speak Spanish....or even look very mexican

^^ those are the ones i knew back at my old state

some of them looked mexican

but they behaved like a normal american

It's funny, they prefer to identify more closely with their Japanese heritage than their latin

eventhough they're more latino than Asian

La Creatura

But I do know some latino trump supporters apart from the people I just mentioned

One of them has been called a traitor for voting for him #TollerentLiberals

hey gringo hand them over

@Swamp Killer that gif makes me wish Gonzales has her gun free zone violated if you know what I mean

they go on to cry about constitutional right to privacy

and they want to infringe our second amendment rights

gtg ttyl

A communist lesbian hipster skinhead who has probably never even held a high power rifle is lecturing gun experts on gun control

And she’s a bully

It will be interesting if the effect occurs in the UK

there's a solid case that the UK and the US are closely knit when it comes to political events

for instance, about the time Reagan became to power, Thatcher was elected,

when Brexit was successful, Trump shortly after arises

but that be could be a negative too

^^^

remember Britain's last election?

yes, labor had a massive gain

Labour flipped a CRAP ton of seats

I'm worried that could be a forebearer for November

it may be

the circumstances may change, who knows really?

It might be

But it could be for the same reason,

the youth vote

In the UK, Young People turned out like never before

And now there are reports from Drudge about how November could see the same thing

There's a poll showing,

that 53% of voters 18-29 are almost certain to vote

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

and of the 53%,

they're prepared to vote Democrats by a 55-25 margin

What’s the positive spin on Ryan retiring?

Nothing really

Because he's going to serve out his term

if he retired immediately,

we could ram through Trump's agenda in these next months

Make Virginia Red Again

my positive spin is that he's retiring at all

@FLanon watch your tongue

we could get Speaker Pelosi

and you'll miss Ryan

at the very least the well on our side wouldn't be poisoned further

My dream is for Virginia to return to a conservative libertarian state

It's up to the GOP at large to get their numbers up to retain the House.

What if Instead Of Speaker Pelosi it was speaker Ryan, Tim Ryan?

Trading Ryan for Ryan

haha

@R E P T I L E better figure out how to flip those White Surbanites in Alexandria

I think that ship has sailed a while back

in any case, we can get suburbanites and independents

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 True, even where I live is SUPER blue

that is up to Trump's action, really

One whitepill,
