yeah i'll meet up at <#409496887482384385>

my estimate for right now

hmm, in a 222 majority there could be enough republicucks to stop some important bills

@O.W. von Diez Welcome !

what state are you from

Hello, I'm in NC.

nice, do you know who your local congressman is

and are you registered to vote

Certainly registered to vote, have been for 10 years. I'm not sure who the current congressman is, but more than likely a cuck because there isn't news about him.

@O.W. von Diez

What is the primary concern for right-voters in NC?

@Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ Honestly, we are an agrarian state, so farm rights, anti Monsanto stuff, "leave us alone" mentality for most rural areas, but it's a steep dichotomy as our cities are pozzed and we have a tonne of universities.

There are a lot of small National Socialist groups here, but also commie activities too, like Megan Squire who teaches at Elon is the ANTIFA Intelligence officer for the whole country.

perfect

lets get the lefty on guns and ties to monsanto (likely through Obama and his FDA pick)

plaster images of her with anti-gun quotes

and get the fear-factor to motivate locals

NRA does this very well

People love guns here, and it's easy to pander to the leftist vote here based on environmentalism.

Monsanto could be a good angle

i mean for turnout

Isn't that what that indian in mass is trying?

yep

there are several repubs running against Monsanto

we should talk about killing off corporate welfare

and forcing monsanto to compete without handouts

Yeah there's a lot of backhand bullshit that gets done with these companies

Oh yes, Virginia Foxx and Ted Budd, Republicans, but cucks. Virginia has held it for a long time, she needs to be removed.

But I think I could even convince the hippies to vote against Monsanto.

ill be back, ill shill the inv more. ill also make you guys a banner with a perma link on it to use in your generals

great

Awesome.

speaking of which, @Red Storm (in NYC) do you have the discord link in the OP copypasta?

I think the Discord link changes every day

@Extra Crispy welcome!

What state are you from

NY

huh

3rd one from NY

nice

NYC or LI or Upstate ?

which district

Im on the complete other side of the state from NYC

falls

I live in erie county

@FLanon

https://discord.gg/8HhFFCf

here's a link that will NEVER expire

@Extra Crispy lol, can you see the Land of the Leafs from your house ?

if I drive down town, I can

lol

NY district 26 or 27?

your representative is that lady right

I dont pay my reps much mind, so I have no idea

https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

I'm only here because AyeExEye invited me

nah my rep is Brian Higgins

@Extra Crispy https://ballotpedia.org/Brian_Higgins

Yeah looks like Erie is polarized in congressional districts

https://ballotpedia.org/New_York%27s_26th_Congressional_District_election,_2016

yeah

Higgins won with 74.6%

ye

my county is fucked in a lot of ways

that's not gonna happen

the other rep is an R

not to mention there's alot of illegal immigration coming from Canada

https://ballotpedia.org/New_York%27s_6th_Congressional_District_election,_2016

my local congressman is this chubby young asian chick

https://ballotpedia.org/Grace_Meng

lol

@Extra Crispy what are the illegal immigrant leafs like

there's a lot of mexicans who just flee to canada and come back through here

lol wtf

as well as lots of weird foreign nationals who just overstay visas

ffs we need a wall on both sides

I think there's also human trafficing issues going on too

though its all quite under the hood

cities look like shit, smell like shit and are filled with shit

back when the exchange rate favored the canadians, they would often come over from the border to our malls and buy a ton of products, which they would proceed to wear while leaving their trash all over the parking lot so that they wouldn't have to pay any taxes for carrying purchased products when they cross the border

there's lots of blacks who only vote dem here

there's a tax for carrying products across the border ?

It would appear

as in, they get taxed by Canada or the USA?

by canada

Yeah I don't know how we can angle that

it helps us economically, though they just leave trash all over the place

I heard that a lot of people in upstate NY want to move out

is that true for you

weather's terrible

yeah, the weather's utter trash in NYC right now too

I miss Florida

for the most part, yeah I'd been thinking of getting out of here ever since I was little

where would you move to

(probably Florida, kek)

probably to the carolinas to live with family

a lot of people seem to like moving from NY to FL, or from FL to NY

The only weather issue we have down here is being completely holocausted by a hurricane and also humidity

the last hurricane I experienced in FL was one of the ones in the mid 2000s

you guys didn't get hurricanes for quite a few years right ?

what is the demographics of this discord? I mean, where does everyone here come from? Youtube? 4chan? etc

we got irma

meanwhile, we got hit by Sandy, but that was weaksauce compared to FL hurricanes

4chan is how I got in

@Extra Crispy 4chan's /pol/

then I suppose I feel right at home

then @Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ invited a bunch of people from his twitter

I just wanted to know before I started saying things

this Discord is 3 weeks old

everyone came from /pol/ until now

soon the people from /pol/ are going t obe outnumbered by the people from twitter

there's a strangely large population of pol users that surf discord in general

wow its demographic replacement

@FLanon lol

thanks @Ḁ̢̧̡̝̭̀̓̇̈̑yeExEye̼̘̲ͨͬ

lol

aye knows me from beyond twitter though so it's not like im from there as well

yeah, I see

are there any rules*

I haven't really formulated any

no troublemakers so far

don't be a faggot

I don't want to come up with some complicated legal code for this Discord

@FLanon basically

ay

you're probably going to have to at some point since this place will inevitably be filled with people

such as no nsfw, or no illegal content, or whatever

I'll just rely on the judgment of the people I made into mods

>browsing Discord at work

I work in software lol

I will, anyway

I guess there are some fields where you could get away with surfing discord, if even for a moment

how did you all get to know Aye, anyway?

from like...an hour ago

he posted in the /pol/ thread asking if there was a hub

I posted a link to this Discord

then he came in

then we talked

then he advertised a link to this Discord on his twitter

aye's a great guy, he's got plenty of good ideas

nice

he's pretty skilled with photo shoops

this Discord grew more in the past hour than in the previous 3 weeks

Yeah, crazy shit, good things to come

yeah, he made the logo we're currently using

The advantage of having this many people is soon we can finally use our channels soon.

yeah

Activism gets much more dynamic, etc

for too long the state channels have been deserted

I guess it'd be pretty hard to fill it all up so quickly in the span of 3 weeks

@Extra Crispy yeah

dont worry though, im sure you'll find the numbers inevitably

the primaries are months away

November is 9 months away

well we're growing which is good

most people don't care about the midterms yet

(technically, most people in the USA never care about the midterms)

is it only us americans in here?

Yeah, no non Americans afaij

*as far as I know

I need to sharpen my debate skills. what's your stance on welfare?

IMO a minimum amount of welfare is needed so that people don't turn to crime when they lose their jobs

but not much more than is needed to survive

I agree

I think workfare would be a better alternative though

was anyone on /pol/ on the 2014 midterms?

get people doing service jobs while they are unemployed

Didn't matter too much back then I assume

https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/38207863/#q38207863

good times

@FLAnon I took a break from /pol/ from 2014 to early 2016

I ran into a bunch of fags on 4craft who were running the /pol/ team who were pretty much all but communist in name

In 2014 we still had Obama and the such, I mean we didn't have as much to gain from a lot in a midterm landslide

I dont get how anyone who believes that ineptitude is directly correlated to IQ and genes could believe that the poor are suffering solely because of the rich

@Extra Crispy anyways welfare, you were saying

I think that workfare would be a better alternative, since it would keep people who were dependent on the state active, and attempt to entice them to find another job

2014 was pretty shocking tbh

The thing I feel is that you shouldn't reward unproductivity

I agree

everyone expected a GOP landslide, but the fact they won in Illinois was shocking

I also think that if you have more kids while on welfare, that you shouldn't be given more welfare money

If you have a horrible disease, are a veteran, or are eligible for social security then you should be applicable for welfare, not too many exceptions

there's no such thing as a free lunch; the more money welfare recipiants demand on the tax payers to fill their pockets, the more of a burdan it is on the people who are working to pay taxes

with that in mind, I believe welfare shouldn't be anything more than a temporary supplimental solution

I also think it should be more up to the people to handle these sort of things, especially considering how there had previously before the healthcare system was in place, been a system in which a union-like organization was structured around workers who searched for the most effective, as well as cheapest doctors they could find

I also believe we should restrict social security eligibility to an extent

I think social security is a fraud

a lot of old immigrants come in here and immediately become eligible even though they haven't worked in the US

the issue is how do you convince people to defund the social security fund

its already being consumed at a rate higher than it can be filled

Yeah, that's a big problem

its very unstable

I don't count on it lasting much more than a decade, at best

I think we should restrict it to immigrants who haven't been here since a certain age

like if you come at 60 you shouldn't be eligible

something like that

there is also an issue with pre-existing conditions

Because the idea is: you work your whole life and get payroll taxes, then you are rewarded with a certain amound of money in your old age

>rewarded

its your money

Yeah lmao

you're never going to get anything near what you put in when you were younger anyway

literally thousands of dollars, gone

I unironically think that it should be up to the kid to sign up for social security when they're older and stuff

People put up with it though because it's a form of retirement fund so they don't have to work

That's a good idea

its only a good idea for people who are too incompetent to handle money on their own

People would be incentivized to save

people should be, rather than just handing their money over to shady groups

@Red Storm (in NYC) I think we should add a political discussion channel for non-midterm related discussions like these, maybe #Discussions or something

our huge outer heaven discord has a discussions general alongside the main general, and it never gets used lol

people just continued arguing in the main chat anyway despite people asking them to move

either that, or they just stopped completely

We'd launch a test run maybe, see how it works

Anyways, back to welfare/social security

Maybe we could make it to where you could apply and drop from the program when you want

I can't really think of anything that we could disagree on

welfare?

or social security

@FLanon just made it

Well it's a discussion not a debate

@Red Storm (in NYC) well great we'll see how it turns out

@PhabeJewell welcome

what state are you from

interesting

first one from there in this channel
