Entire towns have lost white majorities

2018-05-14 19:40:04 UTC

The southern states are the ones that lost jobs to immigrant labor

2018-05-14 19:40:07 UTC

Especially California

2018-05-14 19:40:18 UTC

Not the rust belt

2018-05-14 19:40:34 UTC

I'm sorry button but immigration isn't the main cause of our industrial collapse

2018-05-14 19:40:34 UTC

Hi sorry button but immigration isn't the main cause of our industrial collapse, I'm Dad!

2018-05-14 19:40:41 UTC

Colored migration is a universal peril, haunting every corner of White America

2018-05-14 19:40:41 UTC

As much as you would want it to be

2018-05-14 19:40:48 UTC

It was economic and trade policy

2018-05-14 19:40:59 UTC

it's both

2018-05-14 19:41:02 UTC

they both are

2018-05-14 19:41:04 UTC

^

2018-05-14 19:41:05 UTC

No

2018-05-14 19:41:09 UTC

Thank you

2018-05-14 19:41:11 UTC

Again I tell you

2018-05-14 19:41:14 UTC

Look at he graphs

2018-05-14 19:41:14 UTC

they're both problems and we have to fix both of them

2018-05-14 19:41:20 UTC

I'll send them when I get home fine

2018-05-14 19:41:29 UTC

doesn't matter if one is lesser or more, they all must be fixed

2018-05-14 19:41:38 UTC

Just to prove you wrong, what killed our industrial sector was NAFTA and China joining the WTO

2018-05-14 19:41:44 UTC

it was

2018-05-14 19:41:44 UTC

Zak and Jeb are simply related to immigrants

2018-05-14 19:41:56 UTC

Our industrial sector grew after the 1965 immigration act

2018-05-14 19:42:03 UTC

it may be the major reason, but there are other contributions

2018-05-14 19:42:47 UTC

Well now you're just trying to disagree on specifics, the argument is the most substantial impact on our industry came from bad trade and economic policy and not immigration

2018-05-14 19:43:08 UTC

Immigration has destroyed other native working classes yes

2018-05-14 19:43:10 UTC

I don't care about the most

2018-05-14 19:43:14 UTC

But not the rust belt

2018-05-14 19:43:18 UTC

I want to fix it all

2018-05-14 19:43:20 UTC

I agree with Zak it goes back to our economic policy

2018-05-14 19:43:21 UTC

every single problem

2018-05-14 19:43:25 UTC

Ok but the issue FLanon

2018-05-14 19:43:33 UTC

Is fixing what is going to have the most effect

2018-05-14 19:43:42 UTC

fixing both

2018-05-14 19:43:42 UTC

Immigration is all that matters

2018-05-14 19:43:53 UTC

If you fix trade and economic, you'll bring back he industrial sector substantially more than immigration

2018-05-14 19:43:56 UTC

Any issue you think is more important,

2018-05-14 19:43:59 UTC

But yeah we should fix both

2018-05-14 19:44:00 UTC

Is not

2018-05-14 19:44:22 UTC

According to vast majority of American voters you're wrong button

2018-05-14 19:44:29 UTC

Immigration isn't the #1 issue

2018-05-14 19:44:33 UTC

Prove it?

2018-05-14 19:44:48 UTC

We do need to fix both but our biggest problem is our economic policy

2018-05-14 19:44:49 UTC

I can when I get home

2018-05-14 19:45:10 UTC

our biggest problem is immigration

2018-05-14 19:45:11 UTC

Trump won because of immigration

2018-05-14 19:45:13 UTC

All the recent polls done for what is the most important for the voters has immigration 3rd or bellow

2018-05-14 19:45:17 UTC

This is a fact

2018-05-14 19:45:18 UTC

Below*

2018-05-14 19:45:20 UTC

we can fix economics with just a bill

2018-05-14 19:45:29 UTC

we're gonna take major steps to fix demographics

2018-05-14 19:45:37 UTC

Trump didn't win because of muh economic anxiety

2018-05-14 19:45:44 UTC

That's idiotic

2018-05-14 19:45:51 UTC

Just sayin

2018-05-14 19:45:56 UTC

The data doesn't agree with tou

2018-05-14 19:46:06 UTC

All recent polls put immigration at 3rd or below

2018-05-14 19:46:11 UTC

You have no data

2018-05-14 19:46:19 UTC

I don't care about what people think is the biggest problem

2018-05-14 19:46:23 UTC

I will get you some when I get glme

2018-05-14 19:46:24 UTC

I know what the biggest problem is

2018-05-14 19:46:33 UTC

FLanon you win seats by handing what's popular

2018-05-14 19:46:39 UTC

We can't fix immigration without seats

2018-05-14 19:46:44 UTC

It's what mattered for Trump's primary voters

2018-05-14 19:46:52 UTC

And it's what still does

2018-05-14 19:46:57 UTC

The system isn't about appealing to the majority to win

2018-05-14 19:47:06 UTC

It's about persuading the majority to your beliefs

2018-05-14 19:47:25 UTC

FLanon how do you expect to pass immigration reform without a majority.

2018-05-14 19:47:30 UTC

zak depends immigrants simply because he is a child of immigrants

2018-05-14 19:47:35 UTC

you missed the point

2018-05-14 19:47:39 UTC

You handle the popular issues, so you get more seats

2018-05-14 19:47:41 UTC

read my phrase again

2018-05-14 19:47:50 UTC

no, you make the issues that matter the popular issues

2018-05-14 19:47:51 UTC

Yeah you changed what I said

2018-05-14 19:47:59 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/445673653200486431/image.jpg

2018-05-14 19:48:01 UTC

As I was "appealing" to the majority

2018-05-14 19:48:02 UTC

immigration was on no one's mind in 2015

2018-05-14 19:48:14 UTC

No, you missed the point

2018-05-14 19:48:14 UTC

Welp there's two so far @๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ

2018-05-14 19:48:23 UTC

>july 2017

2018-05-14 19:48:27 UTC

Idiot

2018-05-14 19:48:31 UTC

I don't care what people think is most important, it's about getting people to shift priorities.

2018-05-14 19:48:41 UTC

Lol

2018-05-14 19:48:52 UTC

Button it's newer than your 2016 primary exit poll argument

2018-05-14 19:48:59 UTC

Which are extremely unreliable

2018-05-14 19:49:03 UTC

Immigration wasn't on anyone's mind in 2015, but Trump made it that way.

2018-05-14 19:49:04 UTC

What matters is what voters thought when they voted for Trump in the primaries

2018-05-14 19:49:10 UTC

Exit polls said Clinton was goin to win the 2016 election

2018-05-14 19:49:30 UTC

Immigration was what pushed Trump to victory

2018-05-14 19:49:42 UTC

Yep

2018-05-14 19:49:47 UTC

No it wasnโ€™t

2018-05-14 19:49:48 UTC

It was the first thing out of his mouth

2018-05-14 19:50:19 UTC

In the primary's yes

2018-05-14 19:50:23 UTC

In the general no

2018-05-14 19:50:23 UTC

@Jebber22 (IN-08) Stupid moron, all the data disagrees with you

2018-05-14 19:50:36 UTC

The primaries are why he's even in there

2018-05-14 19:50:42 UTC

It's the base

2018-05-14 19:50:43 UTC

What did you call me? @๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ

2018-05-14 19:50:57 UTC

Go back to whatever country you came from, illiterate third world filth

2018-05-14 19:51:14 UTC
2018-05-14 19:51:38 UTC

Lol ya okay ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2018-05-14 19:51:38 UTC

How old are you again?

2018-05-14 19:52:22 UTC

Immigration is the issue that will determine whether our country will survive in the next decades, to pretend otherwise is pure stupidity

2018-05-14 19:52:47 UTC

Lol and @FLanon throws a fit when I say "we aren't doing well in the polls" but when Button calls our College republican chair a "illiterate third world filth" you do nothing

2018-05-14 19:52:51 UTC

Yeah heroic leader

2018-05-14 19:53:07 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ I never said it wasn't

2018-05-14 19:53:11 UTC

My argument button

2018-05-14 19:53:18 UTC

Is he attack popular issues first

2018-05-14 19:53:21 UTC

that's different than doomposting

2018-05-14 19:53:29 UTC

So we have a compfy supermajority to handle@immigration

2018-05-14 19:53:30 UTC

and the **sigh**

2018-05-14 19:54:08 UTC

Two teirs FLanon, it's obvious you only got mad at me cause I was against you and you lose it.

2018-05-14 19:54:09 UTC

the thing is he literally made immigration a big issue

2018-05-14 19:54:12 UTC

8 out of 10 Trump voters said that they felt American way of life was being threatened by immigration

2018-05-14 19:54:12 UTC

But when button loses it its ok

2018-05-14 19:54:29 UTC

Prove me wrong, genius

2018-05-14 19:54:32 UTC

lmao I didn't dunce either of you that night we tested out the 8ball

2018-05-14 19:54:39 UTC

it was banter

2018-05-14 19:54:49 UTC

In the bot channel

2018-05-14 19:54:57 UTC

no different

2018-05-14 19:55:14 UTC

Oh I was unaware that it doesn't matter what we say in what channel no, ok.

2018-05-14 19:55:24 UTC

Great to know, what a fantastic leader you are.

2018-05-14 19:55:31 UTC

Change the rules to suit you

2018-05-14 19:55:41 UTC

stop it with the passive-aggressiveness.

2018-05-14 19:55:56 UTC

Button slanders a great asset we have and you sit down and go "yeah well you told me *sigh*"

2018-05-14 19:56:06 UTC

take it or leave it

2018-05-14 19:56:10 UTC

It's amusing

2018-05-14 19:56:18 UTC

neither of you are dunced right now

2018-05-14 19:58:01 UTC

What a stupid waste of time that was

2018-05-14 19:58:32 UTC

fact of the matter is, while immigration is an important issue, you can't treat it as the only issue

2018-05-14 19:58:54 UTC

there are people who vote for Trump and GOP for reasons other than immigration

2018-05-14 19:58:59 UTC

Every time this happens it results to FLanon deep throating Button Mash all the way to his gullet, and nothin solved.

2018-05-14 19:58:59 UTC

now, immigration seems to be the biggest portion

2018-05-14 19:59:15 UTC
2018-05-14 19:59:26 UTC

but you can't just dismiss all the other issues and focus solely on immigration

2018-05-14 20:00:01 UTC

@Deleted User yep that was my point

2018-05-14 20:00:03 UTC

it's arguably the most important issue because of demographics, but when it comes to winning elections, you can't treat it as the only thing

2018-05-14 20:00:51 UTC

Well what else is Trump supposed to do

2018-05-14 20:01:25 UTC

The economy is soaring and yet his approval is net -10

2018-05-14 20:02:26 UTC

We have no foreign policy crises yet and he's less popular than Jimmy Carter at this point of his presidency

2018-05-14 20:03:08 UTC

He's not enacting the populist policies he ran on

2018-05-14 20:03:18 UTC

I don't believe that for a second

2018-05-14 20:03:25 UTC

Trump as unpopular as Carter

2018-05-14 20:03:43 UTC

He is

2018-05-14 20:03:55 UTC

Even democrats hated Carter, yet Trump stilll has 82-90% of republican support

2018-05-14 20:03:56 UTC

The polling averages match up

2018-05-14 20:04:17 UTC

Because Republicans are only 35% of the country

2018-05-14 20:04:29 UTC

"The data is all there, it all matches up! I just don't have the data!"

2018-05-14 20:04:30 UTC

Everyone else hates hin

2018-05-14 20:04:40 UTC

You sound like Alex Jones

2018-05-14 20:04:43 UTC

Look at fivethirtyeight

2018-05-14 20:04:51 UTC

I deepthroat button mash?

2018-05-14 20:04:53 UTC

Nate Silver lol

2018-05-14 20:04:54 UTC

Are you serious?

2018-05-14 20:04:54 UTC

Yeah

2018-05-14 20:04:55 UTC

The data is there, you moron

2018-05-14 20:04:56 UTC

You do

2018-05-14 20:05:02 UTC

You just did.

2018-05-14 20:05:09 UTC

I have to police him like every other minute

2018-05-14 20:05:18 UTC

His fat dooming cock all the way in your throat

2018-05-14 20:05:41 UTC

Is this a joke

2018-05-14 20:05:47 UTC

Oh but you're right FLanon

2018-05-14 20:05:51 UTC

I was in the wrong

2018-05-14 20:05:53 UTC

How do you get the 35% @๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ

2018-05-14 20:05:55 UTC

Because I went *sigh*

2018-05-14 20:05:59 UTC

How terrible of me

2018-05-14 20:06:19 UTC

I had BM on dunce way longer than you yesterday

2018-05-14 20:06:21 UTC

@Jebber22 (IN-08) Pew Research and Gallup

2018-05-14 20:06:28 UTC

Substantially worse than Button calling one of our new greatest asserts a "illiterate 3rd world immigrant"

2018-05-14 20:06:36 UTC

That's what I would do

2018-05-14 20:06:43 UTC

Just stand and say nothing

2018-05-14 20:06:50 UTC

I didn't dunce either of you today, it's just fuckin banter

2018-05-14 20:07:00 UTC

Don't cry about it

2018-05-14 20:07:12 UTC

That's banter? But saying *sigh* is a demoralizing xD

2018-05-14 20:07:31 UTC

mental gymnastics are reaching new heights

2018-05-14 20:07:40 UTC

You're basically a democrat at this point

2018-05-14 20:07:43 UTC

If you continue with it by going on about how it's over then yes

2018-05-14 20:07:46 UTC

Your tactics are the same

2018-05-14 20:07:48 UTC

Lmao

2018-05-14 20:08:09 UTC

at the very least, BM is taking our soyboy accusations to heart and is improving

2018-05-14 20:08:13 UTC

higher test

2018-05-14 20:08:29 UTC

BM isn't s soy boy

2018-05-14 20:08:41 UTC

He wears a tie too work, he's just a doomposter

2018-05-14 20:08:58 UTC

kind of acts like one

2018-05-14 20:09:08 UTC

the mood swings are like a woman

2018-05-14 20:09:24 UTC

And you act like a spinless faggot, OH look everyone we're all making observations!

2018-05-14 20:09:38 UTC

I better be careful not to say sigh to much

2018-05-14 20:09:40 UTC

stop getting so pissed off

2018-05-14 20:09:44 UTC

ffs

2018-05-14 20:09:44 UTC

Otherwise it'd be doomposting

2018-05-14 20:09:55 UTC

Sorry the reality of things don't fit your 3D chess God-Emperor narrative, Trumpsters

2018-05-14 20:10:04 UTC

no, you follow it up with some shit about "da democrats always win" every time

2018-05-14 20:10:11 UTC

*sigh* Oh I'm sorry for demoralizing everyone and making us lose

2018-05-14 20:10:13 UTC

but there is evidence of le 4d chess

2018-05-14 20:10:14 UTC

If only I didn't say sigh

2018-05-14 20:10:21 UTC

btw they figured out the formula

2018-05-14 20:10:23 UTC

sheeeitttttt

2018-05-14 20:10:23 UTC

If I said were going to win no matter what

2018-05-14 20:10:25 UTC

Like you dod

2018-05-14 20:10:29 UTC

Did*

2018-05-14 20:10:56 UTC

@FLanon oh shit yeah I forgot that we found out BM is hispanic female lol

2018-05-14 20:10:56 UTC

I should be more like you FLanon

2018-05-14 20:11:03 UTC

clueless and foolish

2018-05-14 20:11:10 UTC

"Red storm is confirmed happenejn!"

2018-05-14 20:11:19 UTC

BM is white you dunce

2018-05-14 20:11:23 UTC

when have I ever said that

2018-05-14 20:11:25 UTC

He sent a picture of himself

2018-05-14 20:11:30 UTC

or anything like that

2018-05-14 20:11:48 UTC

He wears a shirt and a tie, he's professional

2018-05-14 20:11:51 UTC

You always talk like that

2018-05-14 20:12:02 UTC

Whenever I suggest bad news like NC was

2018-05-14 20:12:10 UTC

You flip out "OMG doomposting!"

2018-05-14 20:12:20 UTC

>implying I can't find a random pic of some guy's hand in less than a minute

2018-05-14 20:12:23 UTC

when did I ever say that the red storm was a certainty

2018-05-14 20:12:26 UTC

"Guys look st Ohio! We're winning!" :DD

2018-05-14 20:12:55 UTC

I took the night as a net good

2018-05-14 20:12:58 UTC

"North Carolina isn't bad news, it's only like 2 districts."

2018-05-14 20:13:04 UTC

It wasn't fgood

2018-05-14 20:13:06 UTC

Doesn't mean I'm delusional

2018-05-14 20:13:10 UTC

You blinded yourself to make@it@seem@good

2018-05-14 20:13:13 UTC
2018-05-14 20:13:14 UTC

I never said that either

2018-05-14 20:13:25 UTC

We're gonna have to take extra work with those districts

2018-05-14 20:13:34 UTC

Ohio primary numbers don't tell us much, but

1. there is an improvement from 2014
2. fact of the matter is, GOP got more votes than the D's
3. there's no evidence from May 8 to support the narrative that GOP voters are staying home

2018-05-14 20:13:51 UTC

remember, the reason we lost PA-18 and Alabama was GOP voters staying home

2018-05-14 20:14:18 UTC

but my analysis was that it was because they were special elections

2018-05-14 20:14:37 UTC

it's easy to get out to vote when you know about the date months ahead of time in November, and it's the BIG date for the whole country

2018-05-14 20:15:07 UTC

but if it's a special election....for your area only....it's easy to think "why should I even care"

2018-05-14 20:15:14 UTC

especially when there's going to be another election anyway in November

2018-05-14 20:15:39 UTC

I point out bad news, the truth, and you squeal like a pig on how I'm am "demoralizing everyone" and this is "muh strategy server" so OBVIOUSLY we only talk about fake unrelated victories when it's a strategy discord!

Have you made one piece of content in your time here

2018-05-14 20:16:58 UTC

problem is

1. your analysis isn't always accurate
2. even if it is, clogging up the Discord with things that encourage hopelessness is counterproductive

fact of the matter is, this IS a strategy Discord

2018-05-14 20:17:13 UTC

there was a time span after PA-18 where this Discord was 90% Button Mash and zak doomposting

2018-05-14 20:18:53 UTC

I don't doompost, button does sometimes as a joke, with "ITS over" but amid anything our analyze is more correct then yours.
Furthermore, this "it's counterproductive" is only what you find counterproductive

2018-05-14 20:19:04 UTC

It's just because you don't want to hear the truth

2018-05-14 20:19:14 UTC

thing is, it doesn't seem like a joke

2018-05-14 20:19:25 UTC

Fair

2018-05-14 20:21:56 UTC

"our analysis is more correct than yours"

lol

"is only what you find counterproductive"

and I find it counterproductive because of legit reasons - it demoralizes others, it seems to only serve your gratuitous desire to feel like things are hopeless, it takes up time and energy and focus that could be better spent actually having an effect on spaces outside this Discord

2018-05-14 20:22:28 UTC

I think you both have been on record as saying you make people feel hopeless to make yourselves feel good

I can bet my life that's not true, because I know it's not.

@Deleted User if you want to be a successful movement, we're going to have to learn to handle bad news, instead of just hiding from it behind the "it's counterproductive" argument.

2018-05-14 20:36:42 UTC

but we are handling bad news and we're totally fine with "hearing the truth"

we just know that

1. what truly matters is how you react to bad news
2. sometimes 'bad news' is actually good news if you look past the surface level analysis

2018-05-14 20:38:53 UTC

muh 4d chess

2018-05-14 20:39:21 UTC

well _analyze_ THIS news, Trumpsters,

2018-05-14 20:39:52 UTC

Trump has now selected five failed Obama nominees as district-court picks.

2018-05-14 20:40:41 UTC

What's the genius behind this, why pick Obama-era nominees that were too liberal to get past a Republican Congress
