I'm confused >.<

2018-04-30 01:25:53 UTC

If she'll be the best Senator Tennesee has had since Gore?

2018-04-30 01:25:58 UTC

I thought Gore was a total fucking cunt.

2018-04-30 01:26:02 UTC

Button Mash likes Gore

2018-04-30 01:26:05 UTC

What?

2018-04-30 01:26:07 UTC

Al Gore!?

2018-04-30 01:26:10 UTC

at least his senate years

2018-04-30 01:26:10 UTC

@zakattack04 Because Democrats found the best candidate possible

2018-04-30 01:26:23 UTC

because he voted against immigration apparently

2018-04-30 01:26:27 UTC

Al Gore was excellent on his immigration votes

2018-04-30 01:26:47 UTC

Button Mash posted that its largest denomination is Catholic.

2018-04-30 01:26:54 UTC

I imagine Blackburn would be better

2018-04-30 01:27:07 UTC

I think the fact that he voted to force nuns to buy contraception is what cinches it though.

2018-04-30 01:27:17 UTC

If you believe that the Pope is the Antichrist, you usually don't want to force people to buy contraception.

2018-04-30 01:28:28 UTC

yeah it's probably good to portray him as anticatholic

2018-04-30 01:28:40 UTC

has he gone on record as saying that btw?

2018-04-30 01:28:55 UTC

Nope, he joined a Protestant denom that believes that.

2018-04-30 01:29:03 UTC

They claim not to be anti-Catholic however.

2018-04-30 01:30:33 UTC

Oh come on, compared to Corker?

2018-04-30 01:30:44 UTC

Gore was far better

2018-04-30 01:31:03 UTC

I have a question about the effectiveness of these "Anti-Catholic" memes. I just don't think this will work at all considering most Democrats aren't as religious as right wingers. Even Nacy Pelosi parades herself around as a devote Catholic and she's not losing support from San Francisco anytime soon.

2018-04-30 01:31:21 UTC

Catholics aren't as religious as Evangelicals

2018-04-30 01:31:34 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Gore created the whole carbon credit system which he used to enrich himself.

2018-04-30 01:31:37 UTC

he's a scumbag.

2018-04-30 01:31:39 UTC

Many people identify as Catholic because they have Irish ancestry

2018-04-30 01:31:58 UTC

@zakattack04 um no sweetie, Immigration is all that matters

2018-04-30 01:32:25 UTC

Actually irritates me when you say that.

2018-04-30 01:32:32 UTC

So you would support a literal communist if they were tough on immigration?

2018-04-30 01:32:40 UTC

good question

2018-04-30 01:32:41 UTC

yeah, he would lol.

2018-04-30 01:32:46 UTC

By his own principles.

2018-04-30 01:33:03 UTC

probably

2018-04-30 01:33:06 UTC

depends who is running against the communist

2018-04-30 01:33:07 UTC

I think I would too

2018-04-30 01:33:13 UTC

Waht!?

2018-04-30 01:33:28 UTC

You would support a total Progressive as long as they were anti-immigration!?

2018-04-30 01:33:42 UTC

So someone that wanted to legalize gay marriagne, make hate speech a crime?

2018-04-30 01:33:45 UTC

If it was McCain/Graham vs a anti-immigration communist,
I'm going with the Communist

2018-04-30 01:34:16 UTC

if it was a neolib "conservative" who wants open borders vs a communist who wants to close them for wage reasons, I'd vote for the communist

2018-04-30 01:34:23 UTC

2018-04-30 01:34:42 UTC

It's a matter of balance

2018-04-30 01:34:47 UTC

I think this is incredibly narrow minded.

2018-04-30 01:34:52 UTC

Dude

2018-04-30 01:34:55 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Now you're changing your stance.

2018-04-30 01:34:57 UTC

The clock is ticking

2018-04-30 01:35:07 UTC

We don't have time for a perfect candidate

2018-04-30 01:35:07 UTC

Matter of balance does not equal one policy voter.

2018-04-30 01:35:21 UTC

Immigration outweighs most issues

2018-04-30 01:35:32 UTC

"um no sweetie, Immigration is all that matters"

2018-04-30 01:35:34 UTC

If it was Ben Shapiro vs. like a Nazbol I'd vote against Shapiro

2018-04-30 01:35:36 UTC

That's not what you said lol.

2018-04-30 01:35:46 UTC

By what you say.

2018-04-30 01:35:54 UTC

You can change economic policy on a dime, but demographics are much harder to change

2018-04-30 01:35:55 UTC

it means nothing else matters except immigration.

2018-04-30 01:36:00 UTC

@FLanon This is also not true.

2018-04-30 01:36:09 UTC

Changing economic policy on the dime is what caused depressions.

2018-04-30 01:36:15 UTC

Most commies *are* open borders so it doesn't matter much

2018-04-30 01:36:17 UTC

Well, name me some issues, and I'll tell you if I'd vote for them over a immigration-hardlining communist @zakattack04

2018-04-30 01:36:24 UTC

but you can and that's the point

2018-04-30 01:36:27 UTC

it's possible

2018-04-30 01:36:34 UTC

How about cultural issues?

2018-04-30 01:36:40 UTC

Like what, be specific

2018-04-30 01:36:41 UTC

Like gay marriage and hate speech?

2018-04-30 01:36:43 UTC

I'm a single-issue voter on abortion, immigration, homosexuality, taxes, healthcare, regulation, and literally every other Republican thing.

Remember that people like me are a huge amount of the GOP and will not vote for wishy-washy moderates.

2018-04-30 01:36:52 UTC

We already lost on gay marriage,

2018-04-30 01:36:58 UTC

Well communist countries usally don't have to deal with immigration because nobody wants to move into their shithole countires

2018-04-30 01:37:02 UTC

SCOTUS can overturn itself anyday lol.

2018-04-30 01:37:11 UTC

and hate speech? please. The supreme court will never overturn the first amendment

2018-04-30 01:37:18 UTC

Umm.

2018-04-30 01:37:18 UTC

we're pretty much on the retreat with the gay issue atm

2018-04-30 01:37:25 UTC

maybe someday we can come back to it

2018-04-30 01:37:28 UTC

They've already limited freedoms before.

2018-04-30 01:37:30 UTC

They can do it again.

2018-04-30 01:37:31 UTC

there will also never be a constitutional convention

2018-04-30 01:37:41 UTC

Did they overturn the Patriot Act?

2018-04-30 01:37:45 UTC

SCOTUS actually can't just overturn itself anyday.

2018-04-30 01:37:47 UTC

Congress did

2018-04-30 01:37:55 UTC

It's theoretically possible but it basically doesn't happen.

2018-04-30 01:38:04 UTC

@Nuke They've overturned massivly historic cases just because the times have changed.

2018-04-30 01:38:10 UTC

They totally can.

2018-04-30 01:38:24 UTC

Even though "precendent" only means something when it supports the majority party's positions.

2018-04-30 01:38:25 UTC

The only ruling to overturn a ruling as old as Brown v. Board is actually Brown v. Board.

2018-04-30 01:38:37 UTC

Schneck was Overturned buy Brendenburg

2018-04-30 01:38:40 UTC

vs ohio

2018-04-30 01:38:51 UTC

by*

2018-04-30 01:39:13 UTC

And we almost lost on Heller vs DC

2018-04-30 01:39:23 UTC

Which would've basically removed the 2nd amendment.

2018-04-30 01:39:24 UTC

@FLanon Remember how Moore ran entirely on how Sodomites were destroying America?

2018-04-30 01:39:34 UTC

Yeah

2018-04-30 01:39:40 UTC

I wish he won damnit

2018-04-30 01:39:48 UTC

He should've ran more on immigration

2018-04-30 01:40:04 UTC

But isn't it amazing,

2018-04-30 01:40:05 UTC

nah he never would've won.

2018-04-30 01:40:06 UTC

He should've held back the comments about slavery

2018-04-30 01:40:09 UTC

The allegations were too damaging.

2018-04-30 01:40:16 UTC

Would've damaged the GOP as a whole.

2018-04-30 01:40:16 UTC

He had a great chance of winning

2018-04-30 01:40:21 UTC

White Alabama voted for Moore by +39 points @zakattack04 @zakattack04

2018-04-30 01:40:25 UTC

Until the allegations arose.

2018-04-30 01:40:30 UTC

yeah BM but

2018-04-30 01:40:42 UTC

No one wanted to vote for him after the sexual stuff.

2018-04-30 01:40:42 UTC

He would have won if he tried harder

2018-04-30 01:40:46 UTC

It was razor thin

2018-04-30 01:40:56 UTC

Nah, people were just successfully suppressed

2018-04-30 01:41:00 UTC

Debate, do anything other than watch football

2018-04-30 01:41:02 UTC

The DNC worked their magic.

2018-04-30 01:41:10 UTC

It was close enough

2018-04-30 01:41:15 UTC

2018-04-30 01:41:15 UTC

Brandenburg v. Ohio wasn't as big of a deal as Brown v. Board.

2018-04-30 01:41:24 UTC

Schenck totally was

2018-04-30 01:41:26 UTC

He easily could've won but he tortoise and the hare'd it and he was the hare.

2018-04-30 01:41:45 UTC

That was the first case establishing limitations on the 1st amendment

2018-04-30 01:41:57 UTC

Precedent is meaningless unless honestly.

2018-04-30 01:41:58 UTC

52% of Trump voters in Alabama didn't show up

2018-04-30 01:42:01 UTC

Look at Earl Warren's court.

2018-04-30 01:42:02 UTC

that's how he lost

2018-04-30 01:42:11 UTC

Come on, it was winnable

2018-04-30 01:42:16 UTC

Easily winnable.

2018-04-30 01:42:26 UTC

He didn't try hard enough.

2018-04-30 01:42:28 UTC

Maybe, but it would've given Democrats great ammo for the midterms.

2018-04-30 01:42:35 UTC

"phedo sympathizers"

2018-04-30 01:42:39 UTC

The fact is you need a big majority for that sort of thing.

2018-04-30 01:42:44 UTC

Roe v. Wade was a 7-2 decision for instance.

2018-04-30 01:43:02 UTC

@Nuke Heller Vs DC was 5-4

2018-04-30 01:43:10 UTC

Litteraly one more Democrat and the 2nd amendment would be gone.

2018-04-30 01:43:14 UTC

Just like that.

2018-04-30 01:43:39 UTC

Heller v. DC did not overturn anything. There's a tendency for the SCOTUS to not overrule, but instead weaken, and SCOTUS usually only weakens them really.

2018-04-30 01:44:03 UTC

A great example is Lochner, which is still an active decision, but they've declawed it so much that it's effectively overturned.

2018-04-30 01:44:11 UTC

Heller vs DC would have overturned it if the liberal side of the court had a majority is my point.

2018-04-30 01:44:23 UTC

even though precedent was set, it is basically meaningless.

2018-04-30 01:44:47 UTC

HELLER V. DC WOULD NEVER HAVE OVERTURNED ANYTHING

2018-04-30 01:45:10 UTC

2018-04-30 01:45:34 UTC

Jones is the luckiest politician alive, honestly

2018-04-30 01:45:35 UTC

The Second Amendment as we know it today was basically established in the 21st century.

2018-04-30 01:46:11 UTC

It was regarded as only applying to the federal govt until the 20th century and then no one really violated it until the 21st century when SCOTUS had to issue a ruling.

2018-04-30 01:46:22 UTC

He got an insane percent with the blacks

2018-04-30 01:46:30 UTC

Like 97% or something right?

2018-04-30 01:46:32 UTC

Virtually 100%

2018-04-30 01:46:33 UTC

yes

2018-04-30 01:46:44 UTC

what individuals right

2018-04-30 01:46:55 UTC

natural conservatives

2018-04-30 01:47:12 UTC

Furthermore, justices tend to not want to overturn things, as I said. The decisions you just cited had precedent at very least, as SCOTUS did not even rule that the First Amendment applied to states _at all_ until later on.

2018-04-30 01:47:32 UTC

Don't worry tho, Kanye will turn that around for sure

2018-04-30 01:47:56 UTC

I hope McDaniel campaigns right

2018-04-30 01:48:10 UTC

He's an excellent conservative,

2018-04-30 01:48:17 UTC

White Mississippi loves him

2018-04-30 01:48:23 UTC

but dear god

2018-04-30 01:48:26 UTC

the Black Bloc

2018-04-30 01:48:36 UTC

It would wipe him out

2018-04-30 01:49:16 UTC

@FLanon 98% of black women voted for Jones

2018-04-30 01:55:50 UTC

I think Espy won't be able to get Mississippi to vote for him because he's black tbh

2018-04-30 01:55:56 UTC

2018-04-30 02:28:51 UTC

And Leftists hate Villaraigosa because he supports charter schools and is against a Single Payer plan that would double the state expenses

2018-04-30 02:46:04 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ
1. Mississippi is not South Carolina.
2. Tim Scott is a Republican.
3. Indians are not black.
4. Nikki Haley is a Republican.
5. Cao & Jindal were also Republicans.

@Deleted User @FLanon
The BRร„IN man is the epitome of male dominance and masculinity.

Let's start by looking at his tumor. His swelling is large. Its domineering size makes his presence known without him even needing to point himself out.

He is bipartisan, as a result of his high levels of patriotism. This gives him the appearance of health and strength.

The BRร„IN man's demeanor is one of a true maverick. He is principled, assertive, and can be explosively conservative. His behaviour strikes fear into the more timid, cowardly members of the GOP

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Got a pic showing white women 18-34?

2018-04-30 14:55:44 UTC

This might just be because Gen Z is hitting adulthood.

2018-04-30 14:56:04 UTC

So if there's an increase in the 35-x age group Democrat vote, then the Millennials are just getting older.

2018-04-30 15:01:34 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I knew this would happen. I was very Liberal until I was about 30. Then I got a good job and felt I had a bright future

2018-04-30 15:03:42 UTC

@Nuke It seems unchanged, White Women (18-34) were polling at +1 R in 2016 and continue to do so

Should we rally behind Travis Allen in CA?

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ it was only a matter of time before Hawley began to lead McCaskill, that's why I'm skeptical of the fact that Dean Heller is 'leading' Jacky Rosen

because it's a matter of name recognition. McCaskill and Heller are the incumbents, but the state they're in isn't particularly friendly to their party. So a challenger with less name recognition, months away from November, might be 'behind' in the polls but that's because people don't recognize the name as much.

@Nuke I wouldn't be surprised if there's a clear difference between, say, the 18-20 (early Gen Z crowd) and the 27-37 (early Millennial) crowd

2018-04-30 16:09:05 UTC

those born in 1981-1990 are generally to the left of those born 1996-2000

2018-04-30 16:14:28 UTC

Yep.

2018-04-30 16:14:44 UTC

Because 9/11 and Bushism have an extremely profound influence on younger kids

2018-04-30 16:15:02 UTC

also outright moral repugnance was surprisingly common in my teens

2018-04-30 16:15:11 UTC

like people would openly be disgusted by others' behavior

2018-04-30 16:41:28 UTC

Pretty interesting transition point, really
In 2016, 48% White Millennials leaned Democrat & 36% Republican. In 2018, things almost completely reversed, with 46% preferring GOP

2018-04-30 16:55:45 UTC

@FLanon and yes

2018-04-30 17:14:18 UTC

Whites 18-29: 43% Clinton & 47% Trump

2018-04-30 17:14:34 UTC

Stronger majorities among older groups

2018-04-30 18:08:35 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I thought we're suppose to rally behind Cox.

2018-04-30 18:08:48 UTC

Allen got booed for saying he was going to get rid of sanctuary cities... I just...

2018-04-30 18:08:53 UTC

pls my state

2018-04-30 18:09:56 UTC

gotta be decisive, my gut's telling me allen

2018-04-30 18:11:02 UTC

Allen can't win here

2018-04-30 18:11:11 UTC

There's just not enough right wing votes

2018-04-30 18:36:09 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ Looks like those Dank Memes are having their effect on the Millienial Generation

2018-04-30 18:37:08 UTC

I think it's just them aging

2018-04-30 18:42:38 UTC

>mfw I can spot BM in /ptg/ threads

2018-04-30 18:54:59 UTC

@Nuke so why did you replace Barletta ?

2018-04-30 20:10:16 UTC

I'm not aware of the alternatives

2018-04-30 20:10:16 UTC

Hi not aware of the alternatives, I'm Dad!

2018-04-30 20:16:42 UTC

@Deleted User We discussed it last night. His social media presence was so bad we'd have to actively defend it ourselves, and he's also not as good on policy.

2018-04-30 20:17:58 UTC

oh, you're referring to Barletta as someone whose social media presence is bad?

2018-04-30 20:18:11 UTC

how's Jim Christiana when it comes to that
