**_AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH_**

2018-02-14 00:40:14 UTC

what now

2018-02-14 00:40:42 UTC

Florida seat flipped

2018-02-14 00:40:52 UTC

did you vote?

2018-02-14 00:41:06 UTC

dude what district was it

2018-02-14 00:41:13 UTC

HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW

2018-02-14 00:41:29 UTC

Florida-72, House Legislature

2018-02-14 00:41:41 UTC

I don't think that's near me, lemme check

2018-02-14 00:42:51 UTC

I don't live in the district

2018-02-14 00:42:57 UTC

ugh

2018-02-14 00:43:06 UTC

it's a 5-point shift,

2018-02-14 00:43:12 UTC

so not _that_ bad, but still

2018-02-14 00:43:16 UTC

a loss

2018-02-14 00:43:54 UTC

So was it a swing seat pretty much?

2018-02-14 00:44:04 UTC

Trump won here with 52% of the vote

2018-02-14 00:44:07 UTC

sort of

2018-02-14 00:46:40 UTC

That's swing

2018-02-14 00:47:26 UTC

rip my optimism

2018-02-14 00:47:37 UTC

Yeah, state legislature situation's not as good as we need it to be, we're still in the "high and dry" mode down there

2018-02-14 00:47:42 UTC

my blackpilled-self has returned ๐Ÿ’Š

2018-02-14 00:48:06 UTC

Besides, +5 is nowhere close the old shit we got, +20, one of them was +50 right?

2018-02-14 00:48:25 UTC

there's still elections in OK and GA

2018-02-14 00:48:29 UTC

so let's see

2018-02-14 00:48:42 UTC

The national GOP is not paying attention at the local level, that's the thing.

2018-02-14 00:49:57 UTC

The thing is that the GOP is not in full activist/campaigning mode yet, the left is

2018-02-14 00:51:18 UTC

We've just got to have to make things right at a national level, and then when state legislatures come up, then you'll see straight down the ticket voting

2018-02-14 00:51:41 UTC

There's two groups paying attention to these elections, us in this discord, and leftists

2018-02-14 00:52:02 UTC

i've been doing this wrong,

2018-02-14 00:52:37 UTC

i should be analyzing the local elections by using a line chart to show the swing,

2018-02-14 00:52:48 UTC

not averaging all elections together

2018-02-14 00:53:03 UTC

Makes sense, it creates a trend

2018-02-14 00:53:09 UTC

right

2018-02-14 00:53:19 UTC

local elections don't predict federal elections,

2018-02-14 00:53:20 UTC

but,

2018-02-14 00:53:26 UTC

they do represent trend

2018-02-14 00:53:54 UTC

They do predict whether one side is getting more popular or gaining traction

2018-02-14 00:54:41 UTC

right

2018-02-14 00:55:04 UTC

Now, if I were in control of some huge network of GOP voters and I could organize people to rush to X district when an election is coming, then we'd be able to do something about it

2018-02-14 00:55:29 UTC

As it happens, that's not our reality, so we've got to take it as it comes and focus on the bigger picture

2018-02-14 00:55:41 UTC

We still should have the data on state elections though

2018-02-14 00:55:55 UTC

sadly we don't seem to have right wing online organization like what you see on r*ddit

2018-02-14 00:56:29 UTC

Yeah, unfortunately we can't send people to knock doors or poster campaign to every election area coming up

2018-02-14 00:56:31 UTC

/r/BlueMidterm2018 has enough subscribers to the point where for each special election for state legislatures, there's at least one user saying "I live in this district and blahblahblah"

2018-02-14 00:58:00 UTC

Hopefully someday we get that kind of traction and are able to maintain it, but as it stands we can't get knocked off our feet by this kind of stuff

2018-02-14 00:59:10 UTC

for years, the left has been much more active online than the right

2018-02-14 00:59:25 UTC

Today I feel like we've got some good info, the idea that Trump is at positive favorability here is amazing, Scott gaining ground and Nelson losing it

2018-02-14 01:00:19 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) yeah and they've capitalized by monopolizing it ideologically

2018-02-14 01:00:32 UTC

that has been changing with the rise of the 'alt-right' and Gen Z and people getting disenfranchised with the left

2018-02-14 01:00:32 UTC

but it's still the case that the right mostly consists of people who get their news from Fox and talk radio

2018-02-14 01:01:35 UTC

Wherever the wind blows, I'll go, but as for right now, let's keep the focus on the national elections, and updating the maga db some more.

2018-02-14 01:02:20 UTC

Not sure how far @Aฬ€ฬ“ฬ‡ฬˆฬ‘ฬขฬงฬกฬฅฬฬญyeExEyeอจอฌฬผฬ˜ฬฒ is with the site, but we'll see what we can do when all of our stuff is built

2018-02-14 01:07:44 UTC

yeah, we really, really really need to get that Wordpress blog up and running

2018-02-14 01:07:47 UTC

that's the next big step

2018-02-14 01:08:06 UTC

I've noticed that people have been bringing up "red storm" in other threads on /pol/

2018-02-14 01:08:19 UTC

so we've already left our mark on /pol/

2018-02-14 01:09:17 UTC

remember: even if the /rsg/ threads aren't getting many replies at the moment, people are still looking at them and the red storm oriented posts in /ptg/, which makes the idea of a 'red storm' stew in their minds and also makes them think about the midterms more often

2018-02-14 01:14:03 UTC

Good won more precincts in the district than any Dem in recent memory

2018-02-14 01:26:50 UTC

Was this a state thing or comgressinal seat?

2018-02-14 01:27:27 UTC

Dems are getting good turnout, a lot of it seems to be complete BS tho, like with AL. 92% of presidential turnout, and 100% of Obama levels for blacks.

2018-02-14 01:51:38 UTC

little late it seems

2018-02-14 01:52:39 UTC

i have a suggestion,

2018-02-14 01:52:47 UTC

every time there is a special election,

2018-02-14 01:52:55 UTC

we center a thread around it

2018-02-14 01:53:32 UTC

post maps, candidate info, instructions how to register, etc.

2018-02-14 01:57:15 UTC

As in like an "/rsg/ x district election edition" format?

2018-02-14 01:57:20 UTC

yes

2018-02-14 01:57:42 UTC

Alright, on the day of the election or days before?

2018-02-14 01:58:18 UTC

one thread before, and then dedicate the whole of the election day following

2018-02-14 02:00:12 UTC

Okay, not sure how we can get something major mobilized on that short of notice, you may get one or two people who possibly live in the district, then you've gotta figure out if they're autistic enough to campaign for the candidate the day of

2018-02-14 02:00:49 UTC

more elections in a week

Can you Republican Brainlets vote. Seriously it's like you want America to become like Brazil 2.0. We already lost 36 seats, it's like you fags want to beat Obama's losing record. Fucking vote. Lazy sack of shits. Your lucky you have that old Boomer Trump that will do six or seven rallies in the summer, for you lazy faggots. These are my nuts, I'm done with you loser faggots. Fuck you

2018-02-14 02:03:23 UTC

We don't have enough traction at the moment, just calm down

2018-02-14 02:04:02 UTC

๐Ÿ˜’ ...k

2018-02-14 02:07:04 UTC

Alright, now, we should have people campaigning where elections happen, but the thing is that we can't have some people drive all over the country and put posters up everywhere, and we also don't have the machinery enough to get a handful of people from each state and tell them to do that for these state special elections.

2018-02-14 02:08:30 UTC

We just have to focus on getting all of our stuff built so we can get on that track, and meet the influence of places like that blue midterm subreddit. There's only so much we can do right now and getting hopeless is worth nothing.

2018-02-14 02:08:46 UTC

I really need you to pull through this, ok?

2018-02-14 02:10:12 UTC

fine ๐Ÿ˜ค

It's something to bide the time, and it's productive

2018-02-14 02:47:58 UTC

The Red Storm Twitter will get worked on some more to update people on the candidates after it gets unsuspended, and I have no clue what to make of the subreddit to be honest.

2018-02-14 02:48:45 UTC

That's the agenda to get the ball rolling

@FLanon i had to delay that since the ACA website needed to be fixed, since I finished that this weekend I will get a working site going for Redstorm

@Aฬ€ฬ“ฬ‡ฬˆฬ‘ฬขฬงฬกฬฅฬฬญyeExEyeอจอฌฬผฬ˜ฬฒ Alright, I get there's priorities, good to know we're in progress now on the site.

2018-02-14 03:13:53 UTC

Anyone know when the suspension on the twitter will get lifted?

2018-02-14 03:14:20 UTC

Perhaps we could make a new account or something when we're prepared with everything else

2018-02-14 03:17:29 UTC

lol are you talking about Paul Nehlen?

2018-02-14 03:22:33 UTC

No, the red storm twitter got suspended temporarily

2018-02-14 03:22:46 UTC

We haven't even tweeted

what does each pic represent

2018-02-14 03:35:50 UTC

MD US House of Representatives

2018-02-14 03:43:46 UTC

I assume the bottom picture is what it looks like if Maryland was redistricted?

2018-02-14 03:54:28 UTC

right

2018-02-14 03:55:03 UTC

Wasn't that redistricting denied?

2018-02-14 07:22:30 UTC

Ok, so when will the admin start to roll out the massive red storm stuff?

2018-02-14 07:22:42 UTC

what do you all think it will be?

2018-02-14 07:22:51 UTC

I think they are ramping up for a massive campiagn

2018-02-14 11:06:30 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ You gotta find a way of going on FOX News or Talk Radio. Telling "Republican Brainlets" to vote on this channel is preaching to the choir. There's like...60 people on this channel, spread out across the country, and we do vote, it's just that we aren't in these special election districts.

I'm guessing you're just venting though ?

2018-02-14 11:11:46 UTC

Let me reclarify our objectives

2018-02-14 11:18:23 UTC

1. To compile a folder of memes, infographics, and images pertaining to the midterms for the purpose of disseminating them throughout the Internet.

2. To create a comprehensive, state by state, district by district, reference guide for each race in 2018.

3. To come up with ideas for effective political action that anyone can do over the Internet (we'll let the GOP and other groups handle the boots on the ground work), and execute those ideas with ruthless efficiency.

4. To lay the foundations for an online network of right wing political organization that will later supersede what the left has.

Remember, the left has been much more powerful in terms of political presence on the Internet for years now. That's starting to change because of /pol/ and events like GamerGate, but if we want the right-wing to succeed, we'll have to accelerate that change.

2018-02-14 11:18:28 UTC

2018-02-14 11:18:57 UTC

I should rewrite the OP to include those objectives

2018-02-14 13:21:47 UTC

wtf

2018-02-14 13:22:29 UTC

R+1 on the Morning Consult generic ballot

2018-02-14 14:41:58 UTC

Was it ever a double digit lead ?

2018-02-14 14:44:20 UTC

not with this polling agency

2018-02-14 15:47:07 UTC

This is very good news!

2018-02-14 17:04:32 UTC

Trump's approval is up and R's are in the **lead** in the generic ballot,

2018-02-14 17:04:33 UTC

but,

2018-02-14 17:04:47 UTC

that doesn't matter if Republican brainlet boomers don't go out to vote on special elections

2018-02-14 18:32:18 UTC

I wonder how much of a difference it would make if Fox News and Rush Limbaugh devoted 3 minutes of time every show to get their listeners out to the polls for special elections

2018-02-14 19:06:40 UTC

yo

2018-02-14 19:06:51 UTC

2018-02-14 19:07:28 UTC

unsure .-.

2018-02-14 19:08:17 UTC

literally know nothing about op redstorm, all i know is that dems are doing something to restrict the first two ammendments, so I want to know what they're doing and what I can do to help protect our liberty

2018-02-14 19:08:41 UTC

by miterms you mean the midterm elections, right?

2018-02-14 19:09:15 UTC

do you live up north?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/413411387444953088/district_nj.jpg

2018-02-14 19:10:04 UTC

NJ could be potentially important with the Menendez controversy and the such

2018-02-14 19:11:28 UTC

yeah, Menendez might be vulnerable, so helping the GOP win the NJ senate race should be high on your priority @-MH- ghost

2018-02-14 19:11:56 UTC

god....imagine how the left would react if they lost a blue state on the day they were supposed to have a 'blue wave'

2018-02-14 19:11:58 UTC

menendez?

2018-02-14 19:12:00 UTC

what?

2018-02-14 19:12:04 UTC

lmao

2018-02-14 19:12:08 UTC

.-.

2018-02-14 19:12:14 UTC

your senator?

2018-02-14 19:12:16 UTC

Bob Menendez is one of the Senators from New Jersey

2018-02-14 19:12:19 UTC

he's up for reelection this year

2018-02-14 19:12:23 UTC

ah

2018-02-14 19:12:31 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ no wonder we're losing these special election races

2018-02-14 19:12:36 UTC

lmao

2018-02-14 19:12:55 UTC

lmao stfu I'm young my dude, i don't have time to read news

2018-02-14 19:13:01 UTC

Young?

2018-02-14 19:13:04 UTC

As in under 18?

2018-02-14 19:13:09 UTC

yes lmao

2018-02-14 19:13:13 UTC

if so, focus more on online psy-ops

2018-02-14 19:13:20 UTC

yeah ik

2018-02-14 19:13:24 UTC

lol are you some black kid from Newark

2018-02-14 19:13:31 UTC

no lmao

2018-02-14 19:14:14 UTC

are you some hipster from Atlantic City?

2018-02-14 19:14:38 UTC

never een to atlantic city, but most hipsters would be democrats, I would think.

2018-02-14 19:15:00 UTC

*been

2018-02-14 19:15:04 UTC

@-MH- ghost yeah, but being a Democrat might be too mainstream for hipsters these days

2018-02-14 19:15:13 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised if more hipsters go the Gavin McInnes path

2018-02-14 19:16:34 UTC

Try talking with people about how corrupt Menendez is etc, not much else you can do really

2018-02-14 19:17:09 UTC

Since you don't really know, Menendez has been through a bunch of corruption trials recently and got aquitted

2018-02-14 19:17:11 UTC

hmm maybe

2018-02-14 19:17:15 UTC

ah hecc

2018-02-14 19:17:29 UTC

Remind the right people to vote, etc

2018-02-14 19:17:37 UTC

the accusations are always corruption or sexual misconduct

2018-02-14 19:17:47 UTC

@Ghost there are a lot of Congress districts that will be very close this year in New Jersey. You should find out your district

2018-02-14 19:18:17 UTC

Republicans are red,

2018-02-14 19:18:21 UTC

Democrats are blue,

2018-02-14 19:18:45 UTC

alright, don't know if ill give it out, for security reasons and such

2018-02-14 19:18:51 UTC

unless your map is from 1992

2018-02-14 19:19:05 UTC

but yeah, although I can't vote, I'll remind my parents too

2018-02-14 19:19:18 UTC

when are the midterms though?

2018-02-14 19:19:22 UTC

Nov

2018-02-14 19:19:37 UTC

o

2018-02-14 19:19:51 UTC

we got some time

2018-02-14 19:19:56 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) Which is why,

2018-02-14 19:20:06 UTC

while we are doing good in the polls for now,

2018-02-14 19:20:17 UTC

we shouldn't be overly optimistic

2018-02-14 19:20:28 UTC

a lot can change within 10 months

2018-02-14 19:20:40 UTC

alright, what specific 1st and 2nd ammendment restrictions are dems who are running for congress implying to put into place?

2018-02-14 19:20:49 UTC

Yeah reminding them to vote may be all you can do at your age.

2018-02-14 19:20:56 UTC

true

2018-02-14 19:21:02 UTC

"Democrats want to raise your taxes"

2018-02-14 19:21:03 UTC

unfortunately, one of my parents always votes dm

2018-02-14 19:21:09 UTC

<:GWsetmyxPeepoSad:405337568901726209>

2018-02-14 19:21:13 UTC

"Democrats favor illegals over you"

2018-02-14 19:21:21 UTC

well yeah, button

2018-02-14 19:21:33 UTC

that's pretty much the democratic party in a nutshell

2018-02-14 19:21:42 UTC

Well, we have our reasons to vote for X Y or Z, but taxes and in the case of menendez, corruption

2018-02-14 19:21:55 UTC

Are they hardcore dem or swingable dems

2018-02-14 19:22:00 UTC

and ye, focus on local issues too

2018-02-14 19:22:05 UTC

my mom is swingable-ish

2018-02-14 19:22:11 UTC

my dad usually votes republican though

2018-02-14 19:22:12 UTC

so

2018-02-14 19:22:15 UTC

that's 1 of each

2018-02-14 19:22:16 UTC

*for

2018-02-14 19:22:45 UTC

Okay, don't mention voting in front of your mom, in front of your dad go right ahead and remind him

2018-02-14 19:23:04 UTC

Unless you're sure she'll vote R this time around

2018-02-14 19:23:06 UTC

also are the imperators admins/owners and such? (as in the people who're in charge of server partnerships and such)

2018-02-14 19:23:13 UTC

alright, i'll do that

2018-02-14 19:23:27 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) is the owner of the server, I'm in a mod position

2018-02-14 19:23:27 UTC

I plan to do that, however, knowing my mom, she'll probably plan to vote anyways

2018-02-14 19:23:38 UTC

ah alright, i'll dm him about that though

2018-02-14 19:24:26 UTC

Then try swinging her, taxes are usually what makes moderates swing

2018-02-14 19:24:54 UTC

na economically she won't budge

2018-02-14 19:25:05 UTC

also I doubt she'd take advice from her kid lmao

2018-02-14 19:25:16 UTC

one of the problems with winning over women is they don't like trump's character, generally

2018-02-14 19:26:15 UTC

true

2018-02-14 19:26:28 UTC

my mom has quite the grude against donnie, unfortunately

2018-02-14 19:26:32 UTC

my dad is 50/50 on him

2018-02-14 19:39:28 UTC

I wonder if my mom would like Trump if she was still alive. She hated him as a celebrity but so did I

2018-02-14 19:53:56 UTC

Trump is polarizing. Some women hate him, some women love him for the alpha male attitude

2018-02-14 20:04:31 UTC

I think she would because he cares about normal people. I couldn't stand him as a celebrity but I really like him as President

2018-02-14 20:05:56 UTC

My ma wasn't into him very much but she came around eventually after enough discussions

2018-02-14 20:06:30 UTC

Women tend to come around with their husbands, usually are softer on politics, but will still vote if they're asked

2018-02-14 20:06:50 UTC

that's why single women have such a major liberal tendency

2018-02-14 20:16:49 UTC

@everyone Styxhexenhammer666 is having a chat with Shiva Ayyadurai

i did a lot of anti-monsanto activism in the day

2018-02-15 02:21:51 UTC

Great idea, you in charge of it?

2018-02-15 02:44:15 UTC

yeah, definitely make it look nice, aesthetic is important

2018-02-15 05:32:28 UTC

gimme dat tl;dr

2018-02-15 05:32:52 UTC

In CA the top two people in a primary go to the general

2018-02-15 05:33:21 UTC

so its possible that the top two could be two Republicans since there's so many Democrats running it would split the vote among them

2018-02-15 05:33:39 UTC

whoa

2018-02-15 05:33:49 UTC

In districts that are currently republicans at least

2018-02-15 05:34:04 UTC

we should keep quiet about this

2018-02-15 09:01:40 UTC

In this case, we could push the most obscure candidates in the district w/ sockpuppets, that way we can pave the road for this to happen.

2018-02-15 17:33:21 UTC

Yeah exactly

2018-02-15 18:10:17 UTC

If the gop approves this monstrosityโ€” a repudiation of the Presidentโ€™s position on the core issue he was elected onโ€” the party deserves to die. And rest assured, it will
