I can't be assed to look back at all his predictions, but I'm sure some of them turned out to be incorrect

2018-05-02 17:45:41 UTC

@Deleted User the majority of them are

2018-05-02 17:46:08 UTC

And yes some people subconscious influences overrule the tangible data they observe, I'm not one of them.

2018-05-02 17:46:39 UTC

There are people that enjoy being sorry for themselves, there are also people that enjoy being pitied

2018-05-02 17:46:46 UTC

I'm not either.

2018-05-02 17:46:46 UTC

Hi not either., I'm Dad!

2018-05-02 18:36:50 UTC

@Deleted User I listen to a wide variety of music tbh, anything except rape, indie, and that dubstep crap

2018-05-02 18:36:57 UTC

So don't worry, I'm not a fsggot

people who do public activism

2018-05-02 19:22:21 UTC

2018-05-02 19:22:40 UTC

2018-05-02 21:06:29 UTC

Sounds like it!

2018-05-02 21:06:53 UTC

2018-05-02 21:07:07 UTC

@Deleted User *Cough* Button mash

2018-05-02 21:21:35 UTC

They released *all* detainees?

2018-05-02 21:21:37 UTC

Holy shit

2018-05-02 21:23:13 UTC

I'm not surprised.

2018-05-02 21:23:13 UTC

Hi not surprised., I'm Dad!

2018-05-02 21:23:45 UTC

This is a precondition to unification--Trump probably doesn't have any tendency to work with half-measures, such as "release 5 plz"

2018-05-02 21:23:51 UTC

Fuck off dad bot!

2018-05-02 21:27:17 UTC

That bot has it all wrong

2018-05-02 21:27:36 UTC

we're endorsing Mike Braun for Indiana, not Todd Rokita

2018-05-02 21:27:42 UTC

if Rokita wins, we'll go with him though

2018-05-02 21:29:29 UTC

I thought that was a person, not a bot.

2018-05-02 21:36:08 UTC

ahahahahahahahaha

2018-05-02 21:58:25 UTC

NO DON BLANKENSHIP

2018-05-02 21:58:32 UTC

He's based, but won't win the election.

2018-05-02 22:05:05 UTC

Oh I'm not touching a guy like that with a 10-foot pole

2018-05-02 22:06:05 UTC

who are we definitely backing in West Virginia ? Jenkins ?

2018-05-02 22:06:14 UTC

some guy in /ptg/ is butthurt about me endorsing Jenkins instead of Morrissey

2018-05-02 22:06:28 UTC

Morrissey is a bit of a cuck

2018-05-02 22:06:30 UTC

<@&417407302526828544>

2018-05-02 22:06:46 UTC

"Reminder that the red storm faggot is a shill, Evan Jenkins is a weaker candidate than Patrick Morrissey and Morrissey is specifically against immigration while Jenkins is anti-RAISE

Red storm faggot ALWAYS tells people to back shitty candidates, it can't be a coincidence at this point"

2018-05-02 22:06:49 UTC

On Blankenship, we shouldn't be pushing people linked to dozens of deaths when we want to win an election.

2018-05-02 22:07:03 UTC

Morrisey said he liked the "diversity in the US"

2018-05-02 22:09:17 UTC

so can you go into more detail about why it's Jenkins instead of Morrissey ? All I wrote was

2018-05-02 22:09:24 UTC

"
Indiana - Vote for Mike Braun in the Senate primary. He will be /ourguy/ for taking down Joe Donnelly. For House primaries, vote for the most Trumpian candidate

North Carolina - No senate race, but for the House primaries, vote for the most Trumpian candidate

Ohio - Vote for Mike Gibbons in the Senate primary. He will be /ourguy/ to take down Sherrod Brown.

West Virginia - Vote for Evan Jenkins in the Senate primary. He will be /ourguy/ to take down Joe Manchin."

2018-05-02 22:10:39 UTC

in congress he's supported every measure against immigration that's come to vote

2018-05-02 22:11:12 UTC

Patrick Morrisey's website states under the 'immigration' section that "As a country of immigrants, Morrisey appreciates that America is a melting pot of different ethnicities, religious backgrounds, history, and culture."

2018-05-02 22:11:24 UTC

Fuck that.

2018-05-02 22:15:07 UTC

I have seen neither a condemnation nor endorsement from either candidate on the RAISE act, after combing both google and twitter searches, so it's safe to say that was a divide and conquer shill. We're sticking with Jenkins.

2018-05-02 22:17:28 UTC

I know Iโ€™m a big Jenkins guy

2018-05-02 22:35:15 UTC

also

2018-05-02 22:35:31 UTC

PredictIt has Mike Braun in a distant lead for the Indiana Senate primary

2018-05-02 22:37:20 UTC

and it has Jenkins in the lead for the West Virginia Senate primary, but slightly

2018-05-02 22:37:39 UTC

for some reason, they're not doing a bet for the Ohio Senate Primary

2018-05-02 22:38:30 UTC

https://www.predictit.org/Market/4176/Who-will-win-the-2018-Pennsylvania-Republican-Senate-primary

for the May 15 Pennsylvania Senate Primary, they have Lou Barletta in a distant lead

2018-05-02 22:40:18 UTC

@Deleted User I think it's great, but no independent is going to vote for Republicans en mass because we got detainees released

2018-05-02 22:40:43 UTC

Also, the Coal Barron is crumbling too, we'ew going to need to find a new candidate soon

2018-05-02 22:41:01 UTC

en mass? Sure, but it's one in a potential list of many things

2018-05-02 22:41:21 UTC

McSally in the lead, but dropping

2018-05-02 22:41:42 UTC

@Deleted User We don't have a list of many things.

2018-05-02 22:41:51 UTC

Independents care about healthcare.

2018-05-02 22:41:56 UTC

We need to be on that issue.

2018-05-02 22:42:09 UTC

And I think McSally would be a great Senator for us.

2018-05-02 22:42:18 UTC

As long as her voting record remains consistant with the past.

2018-05-02 22:44:08 UTC

they have Freitas in the lead for the Virginia Senate Primary, though he's dropping

2018-05-02 22:44:36 UTC

"independents care about healthcare"

thing is, what kind of healthcare policy ? Keep in mind that many are disatisfied with the fact that their prices INCREASED because of Obamacare

2018-05-02 22:45:32 UTC

@Deleted User They want socialized medicine.

2018-05-02 22:45:39 UTC

are you so sure about that ?

2018-05-02 22:45:39 UTC

It's not just what they want

2018-05-02 22:45:43 UTC

And that's our fault for letting the media push that.

2018-05-02 22:45:45 UTC

yeah

2018-05-02 22:45:47 UTC

It's about making them want what we want

2018-05-02 22:45:52 UTC

Look at how popular single payer healthcare is.

2018-05-02 22:46:00 UTC

I mean, I see the polls say that "healthcare" is an important issue

2018-05-02 22:46:01 UTC

but

2018-05-02 22:46:10 UTC

I don't think that necessarily means they want the Democrats' solution

2018-05-02 22:46:16 UTC

Well

2018-05-02 22:46:18 UTC

And North Korea is honestly the biggest thing we can muster for independents at this time, so nut up because we have to capitalize on what we're getting

2018-05-02 22:46:25 UTC

You take the fact that single payer is the most popular

2018-05-02 22:46:27 UTC

Then yes

2018-05-02 22:46:29 UTC

That's what they want,.

2018-05-02 22:46:31 UTC

@FLanon what are your thoughts on this healthcare debate ?

2018-05-02 22:46:42 UTC

I know many people IRL who don't like Obamacare

2018-05-02 22:47:25 UTC

We have to hone in on efficiency

2018-05-02 22:47:40 UTC

That's the way we get it, it's about costs of services at the end of the day

2018-05-02 22:48:28 UTC

But anyways, in this election cycle, we need to focus on what we're getting and what's going to bring up approval ratings, and this is what's happening.

2018-05-02 22:50:12 UTC

Well

2018-05-02 22:50:20 UTC

AZ-08 was a good example of how that won't work.

2018-05-02 22:50:27 UTC

We focused on what we wanted to bring to the table.

2018-05-02 22:50:33 UTC

Immigration reform

2018-05-02 22:50:41 UTC

Democrats focused on socialized medicine.

2018-05-02 22:50:47 UTC

And who's the representative now?

2018-05-02 22:50:50 UTC

And they had a 20 point swing.

2018-05-02 22:50:52 UTC

Lol

2018-05-02 22:50:57 UTC

Really?

2018-05-02 22:51:01 UTC

please tell me you're joking.

2018-05-02 22:51:19 UTC

That was a district where the incumbent resigned in shame

2018-05-02 22:51:25 UTC

Of course there was going to be a swing

2018-05-02 22:51:30 UTC

There are like 110 districts which was won by less then 20 points, if we do your plan that theoretically means there will be 100 new democrats.

2018-05-02 22:51:50 UTC

Not 100 districts where they resign in a scandal

2018-05-02 22:52:03 UTC

That has a major effect on swing

2018-05-02 22:52:13 UTC

You can't attribute that to be the sole reason.

2018-05-02 22:52:15 UTC

That's unreasonable.

2018-05-02 22:52:26 UTC

It has a trend for both sides

2018-05-02 22:52:48 UTC

And this is a different narrative you fed me than before the election

2018-05-02 22:52:51 UTC

Anthony Weiner's seat, which is D+34, mind you, went Republican after his scandal

2018-05-02 22:53:39 UTC

You said AZ-08 is a great example because they're no "X" factors, and the Republican is running on immigration reform and the Democrat is running on socialized medicine. So I was told it would be a great indicator of how the election cycle would go with our current platform.

2018-05-02 22:53:47 UTC

I forgot about that one

2018-05-02 22:53:51 UTC

And I Anthony weiner made national news for weeks.

2018-05-02 22:53:58 UTC

And I don't think I said that, by the way.

2018-05-02 22:54:10 UTC

I didn't even know their Republican resgined in scandal.

2018-05-02 22:54:26 UTC

Anthony was all over the place, on every news station being talked about.

2018-05-02 22:54:32 UTC

We suppressed their votes hard.

2018-05-02 22:54:36 UTC

This is just an effect which happens after resignations, the incumbent party is always depressed.

2018-05-02 22:54:39 UTC

That didn't happen in AZ-08

2018-05-02 22:55:00 UTC

He wasn't near as paraded as Anthony was

2018-05-02 22:55:11 UTC

It doesn't dismiss this effect

2018-05-02 22:55:36 UTC

It minimizes it as an excuse

2018-05-02 22:55:45 UTC

In my own district back in '06, the congressman turned out to be a pedophile and a dem came in and swept the seat

2018-05-02 22:55:51 UTC

The truth is the 17-20 point swing has been the average.

2018-05-02 22:55:56 UTC

Regardless of the X factors.

2018-05-02 22:56:03 UTC

I think I read that on Washington Post.

2018-05-02 22:56:06 UTC

That changed recently

2018-05-02 22:56:16 UTC

With that average they're going to have themself like 80 seats

2018-05-02 22:56:18 UTC

Oh it did?

2018-05-02 22:56:20 UTC

We had districts go 2 points left and 4 points left

2018-05-02 22:56:24 UTC

Last night

2018-05-02 22:56:49 UTC

Ok so lets take the hundreds of special elections

2018-05-02 22:56:54 UTC

And take the two new ones into account

2018-05-02 22:57:01 UTC

And redo the average

2018-05-02 22:57:05 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ by the way, how did those other districts last night swing?

2018-05-02 22:57:06 UTC

Probably still going to be 15+

2018-05-02 22:57:14 UTC

The thing is there's new factors that are coming up

2018-05-02 22:58:18 UTC

Maybe we are just kicking the can down the road. Everytime we lose I see this discord try to blame it on something out of our control.
"Allegations, the enemy was a Conservative Democrat, the opponent looked better, the opposition party has better turnout."

2018-05-02 22:58:22 UTC

Those hundreds of special elections happened before this whole issue with Korea's come up

2018-05-02 22:58:29 UTC

All these excuses are still going to be prevalent in the midterms anyway

2018-05-02 22:58:45 UTC

Maybe it's time we realize our policy's aren't near as popular as we need them to be.

2018-05-02 22:58:49 UTC

maybe we need to compromise.

2018-05-02 22:58:52 UTC

Leave

2018-05-02 22:58:58 UTC

*sigh*

2018-05-02 22:58:58 UTC

That has no place here

2018-05-02 22:59:03 UTC

I'm just suggesting a way to victory.

2018-05-02 22:59:03 UTC

Hi just suggesting a way to victory., I'm Dad!

2018-05-02 22:59:06 UTC

@zakattack04 Conor Lamb said that he would strictly oppose Single Payer

2018-05-02 22:59:08 UTC

"Everytime we lose I see this discord try to blame it on something out of our control.
"Allegations, the enemy was a Conservative Democrat, the opponent looked better, the opposition party has better turnout.""

2018-05-02 22:59:10 UTC

...

2018-05-02 22:59:12 UTC

@Walter Johnson Well that's good.

2018-05-02 22:59:15 UTC

those are valid explanations

2018-05-02 22:59:22 UTC

So i'm a bit skeptical of your argemnet that its "very popular"

2018-05-02 22:59:27 UTC

@Deleted User Every single one of them is still going to happen in 2018 though.

2018-05-02 22:59:29 UTC

and yeah, they are out of our control

2018-05-02 22:59:29 UTC

I am suggesting you fuck off if you're going to act like a fag

2018-05-02 22:59:32 UTC

so?

2018-05-02 22:59:37 UTC

that doesn't mean they can't be counterbalanced

2018-05-02 22:59:45 UTC

and it means we can learn from what happened

2018-05-02 22:59:47 UTC

@FLanon Grow up and learn to hear things that don't fit your narrative

2018-05-02 22:59:48 UTC

and tailor strategies accordingly

2018-05-02 22:59:49 UTC

I'm not even doom posting.

2018-05-02 22:59:50 UTC

Hi not even doom posting., I'm Dad!

2018-05-02 22:59:53 UTC

This is a reasonable discussion.

2018-05-02 23:00:01 UTC

Should we compromise on healthcare maybe?

2018-05-02 23:00:02 UTC

although....that's moreso the GOP's responsibility, not ours

2018-05-02 23:00:03 UTC

Listen, politics has absolutely nothing to do with what's popular, it's about taking what we believe and putting that into popularity

2018-05-02 23:00:06 UTC

Support more socialized medicine.

2018-05-02 23:00:11 UTC

the best WE can do is try to steer them in the right direction

2018-05-02 23:00:32 UTC

@FLanon Dud you're in high school as am I.

2018-05-02 23:00:38 UTC

No I'm not

2018-05-02 23:00:39 UTC

Do not lecture to me as if you're an expert on what politics is.

2018-05-02 23:00:55 UTC

anyway, you're talking total nonsense with "this Discord" trying to "blame"

2018-05-02 23:00:59 UTC

we're giving valid explanations

2018-05-02 23:01:07 UTC

Yes but my point is Redstorm.

2018-05-02 23:01:13 UTC

That all these things will be prevlant in the midterms

2018-05-02 23:01:16 UTC

They aren't one off

2018-05-02 23:01:23 UTC

yeah, they're factors in the Democrats' favor

2018-05-02 23:01:26 UTC

Things change, and they did last night

2018-05-02 23:01:30 UTC

The Democrats are going to have allegations against republicans, they're going to run conservative democrats.

2018-05-02 23:01:36 UTC

but they, in and of itself, won't guarantee Democratic victories

2018-05-02 23:01:39 UTC

@FLanon BM predicted that.

2018-05-02 23:01:46 UTC

As far as BM reported, we had a 2.5 point swing

2018-05-02 23:01:52 UTC

He said the cubans would swing Republican because Trump wasn't on the ballet.

2018-05-02 23:02:07 UTC

And how is that not just an excuse on another coin?

2018-05-02 23:02:14 UTC

@Deleted User True, it doesn't guarantee a Democratic victory

2018-05-02 23:02:24 UTC

@FLanon it's not an excuse.

2018-05-02 23:02:32 UTC

it's an explanation for why the swing happened.

2018-05-02 23:02:44 UTC

Yeah and I explained on why the swing happened in Arizona

2018-05-02 23:02:48 UTC

And it's not something we can really parade as a victory because in that case, that was a one off.

2018-05-02 23:02:48 UTC

And it's legitimate

2018-05-02 23:03:04 UTC

Nah, it was still in line with the national average so far.

2018-05-02 23:03:09 UTC

17 points.

2018-05-02 23:03:09 UTC

2 points?

2018-05-02 23:03:13 UTC

Arizona

2018-05-02 23:03:16 UTC

You said Arizona

2018-05-02 23:03:25 UTC

The scandal effect.

2018-05-02 23:03:43 UTC

The GOP did better than Trump in the 6th district

2018-05-02 23:03:46 UTC

Anyways, this korea situation is something to keep an eye on, I'm telling you, that's the way to the moderates, the only way.

2018-05-02 23:04:00 UTC

Look my point is maybe we should consider compromising on some issues until we can make them more popular.

2018-05-02 23:04:07 UTC

The GOP has "compromised" for the last 60 fucking years, no more.

2018-05-02 23:04:10 UTC

And affluent suburban districts like the 6th are the ones that the Democrats are trying to flip in the midterms

2018-05-02 23:04:12 UTC

You can't keep control of congress supporting unpopular positions

2018-05-02 23:04:27 UTC

Compromise only alienates the core.

2018-05-02 23:04:35 UTC

The core isn't why you win

2018-05-02 23:04:37 UTC

It's the swing voters

2018-05-02 23:04:38 UTC

This geopolitical situation is only a plus.

2018-05-02 23:04:42 UTC

Yes it is!

2018-05-02 23:04:46 UTC

The Independents

2018-05-02 23:04:54 UTC

The core will still vote Republican most of the time.

2018-05-02 23:04:54 UTC

We could win 2018 easily if we got enough of the core vote

2018-05-02 23:04:59 UTC

it's the independents that change sides

2018-05-02 23:05:00 UTC

It's turnout

2018-05-02 23:05:09 UTC

idaho is probably looking to expand Medicaid so the GOP is sorta going to left on Healthcare in some places

2018-05-02 23:05:12 UTC

Well our turnout is going to be lower in the current situation.

2018-05-02 23:05:13 UTC

If we cuck and cuck and cuck, they won't turnout!

2018-05-02 23:05:20 UTC

Just because of history

2018-05-02 23:05:30 UTC

@Walter Johnson Yeah, maybe we need to.

2018-05-02 23:05:33 UTC

"muh history"
