hah
I heard that one trans person is running
the name escapes me
Chelsea Manning?
no
jenner
^
The Rock vs. Jenner
The Rock would win.
and that's the R primaries
Hahahaha
Who is the GOP candidate for Maryland
what a shitshow
A celebrity is the only type of person who can win the GOP in the CA,
Faddis the CIA boi
Californians hate the rich,
but you have to be rich to win CA politics
So a whistleblower vs a CIA officer. classic
althought rich leftists and celebrities are the exception
Maryland has a remote chance of flipping.
If Manning wins the primaries somehow, she does have a shot against the CIA boi if she exposes what our government is doing
slim field for the GOP in the maryland seat is the thing
if I had a choice I'd stay as far away as possible from the CIA guy for that seat
they tend to have a major neocon tendency
^^^
I mean, it's pretty much a given if I was in Maryland I would vote Manning, but if I was someone who voted for Trump I would not vote for a neocon
Neocons like McCain, Cotton, Graham and Rubio need to gtfo
I agree, in their own time, although I'm ok with Cotton to an extent
Cotton seems okay.
He isn't the best, but he seems to tow the line most of the time.
The dude is very hawkish when it comes to Iran
We need to stop interfering with other countries and focus on America!
McCain'll expire, Graham and Rubio'll probably be fixtures for a long time unfortunately.
America first
no one touches Cotton
best man in the Senate
Graham will be primaried out.
immigration is my main concern
same
Cotton is the leader of the immigration hawks
Ok so for you guys your main focus is on immigration. Are there any other issues you are focused on or is it just immigration
just immigration, rly
This is really the future of the country
Yeah, mostly immigration.
Tax cuts are great, too.
So economy and immigration?
I'd rally with a socialist if he was anti-immigration, the other stuff is important to me, but this is my main priority.
It tells me where you're coming from.
Immigration is the #1 issue.
IMMIGRATION. IS. EVERYTHING.
The other stuff is great, but without strong borders none of that can happen.
@Snickers run a immigration hawk in your party and maybe I'll vote for them
I'm an america first guy and being pro-open borders shows me your true intentions the best
corporations love the low wages illegals give them
I would vote for a closed border isolationist Dem over a globalist R any day.
^
the issue is in this day and age, they don't seem to exist in the party
and they never will
I'm a pretty down the line paleocon, but immigration is my litmus test
paleoconservatism ftw
I'm more of a right-wing Libertarian.
tfw no lefties
A lot of the corps are in bed w/ the government to make regulations so small businesses can't get ahead
i'm left in some aspects
I need to find a leftypol discord since I can't really connect with you guys
i'm more left-wing on foreign policy
Other than just talking about midterms
yeah I don't think a discord called red storm general is really the cup of tea for a lefty
should we kick him
nah
lol
Research your candidates, Snickers.
You might find a few R's you like.
I'll tolerate it to an extent
I'm not as heavily invested in the midterms as you guys are, just interesting to have a discussion
it?
are you a r/bluewave spy?
I don't even have reddit
_hmmmmmmmmmm_
**_HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM_**
And I've even stated that I was a lefty several times now lol
we gonna have text waterboarding now
ayy
I'm not going to have a part in any kicking if that's what ends up happening
lmao I mean it doesn't really matter. I was hoping to talk about midterms and politics really.
Why are you a Democrat? What about the party appeals to you?
All I'm going to do that is remotely "blue wave" is just vote for Dems in the midterm elections
what district are you in
or state
Maryland, probably a deep blue one.
I mean fair enough, if that lines up with your values
okay, doesn't matter then
I'm not really a Democrat as I find most democrats to be corporatist neoliberals, but it there is a candidate that I think is worth voting for I'm voting for him or her
pielover said it lmao
So you're Berniebro?
are you urban
I'm not a fan of corporate hands in the government either
Also Texas District 07
So Houston Area
look at the requirements to be an accredited investor, that's elitist as fuck
NOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU'RE IN A BATTLEGROUND (R) DISTRICT
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
KICK HIM
lmaoooo
wut
HE'S GOING TO COST US THE MIDTERMS
We can flip his vote.
can we
Many Bernie supporters voted for Trump.
can't tell if you're being serious or not, Culberson isn't unpopular and served in the district for quite some time now
TX-7 is one of the Clinton Suburban districts!!!
But again, I follow the Senate more than the House so
If it comes down to one vote and you vote D I'm gonna kill myself lmao
I gotta leave, but don't kick Snickers out unless he crosses the line. Maybe we'll be able to get his vote.
Depends who the D is in the district.
See, he can be swung.
ehh, swung as in swung not to vote
Still, that's one less vote for our opponents.
lmao you guys are acting like Im some kind of a special person and can't hear you guys. "He can be persuaded" "He can become one of us"
Well, you can probably atleast be persuaded to not vote.
YOUR DISTRICT HANGS IN THE BALANCE
alright, let's de-escalate this for a moment
How is it a battleground district? Most of the people in the district are rich urbanites living in the River Oaks areas. Most of them are apathetic or vote Republican
Here's my (hopefully) definitive list of senate candidates for us to go for:
AZ-Martha McSally
FL-Rick Scott*
IN-Todd Rokita
MA-V.A. Shiva
ME-Paul LePage*
MI-John James
MO-Josh Hawley
MN-Robert Barnheiser
MN(sp)-Karin Housley
MT-Matt Rosendale
ND-Kevin Cramer
NJ-Thomas Kean Jr*
OH-Jim Renacci
PA-Lou Barletta
TN-Marsha Blackburn
VA-Corey Stewart
WI-Kevin Nicholson
WV-Evan Jenkins
(* represents a potential candidate) (As of 2/15/2018)
Clinton won there
it's not _the_ most vulnerable district, but still
I see. But there are special districts where Trump won by a huge margin and the Dems won this year
Also according to ballotpedia it's not even considered a battleground
i'm the data guru
and i say its vulnerable
tell me,
as a lefty, what is your endgame
what is your ideal America
endgame lmao
A raceless, mocha-colored averaged population?
globalism and open borders and mutliculturalism obviously
nah
haha
I KNEW IT
lmao its a joke
^
you think you're clever, arentcha
I know of your globalist dream of a pacified world wide serfdom, dependent upon government, substances, and subsistence labor to barely survive, too weak to challenge the globalist police state hegemony.
Really its just what progressives want. No more wars abroad, stronger economy, healthy society where people actually have access to free college, medicare, etc.
lmao a police state is the last thing I want or any progressive wants for that matter
@Snickers Ueah everyone wants free shit wether they are a Regression or not. The problem is that you can't get there without making society in general poorer. That is why Liberals are all retarded
How is free college, expanded medicaid, better infrastructure, etc. going to make society poorer?
>inb4 tax money
Oh fuck off! I didn't say infrastructure and Medicaid would make society poorer
fine. how is free college and expanded medicare going to make society poorer?
Because everyone else has to Pay for your free shit! I already paid for my degree so why should I have to pay for yours? Why don't you fix the reason why college is so expensive? Seriously why the fuck are you even here.
I knew you would say that
Believe it or not, tax dollars aren't used for government expenditures, especially for the United States since we are monetary sovereign
Taxes are used for other reasons such as regulating aggregate demand, but not for investing in public goods and services
We can essentially have "free college" since the federal government is going to check the college, and that money will be used to invest in the college infrastructure, college professors, etc. etc.
But our politicians keep on peddling the neoliberal bullshit that we are somehow limited on the amount of money we can have and we will somehow go bankrupt even though that hasn't been the case ever since we got off the gold standard.
Also, I never understood why conservatives aren't behind free college. The reason why most millenials have to delay major life decisions like getting married, buying a house, starting a nuclear family, etc. is because of the private debt they have to pay back from college, even those who are in STEM and business majors
you don't have to go college
You're right, but these are for people who actually worked their ass off to get into the college they want, only to either not go to college or have to go to a shittier one because they can't pay off the massive tuition fee that comes with it.
I'm for more opportunities when it comes to trade school though
well they should've thought about if they could pay for it beforehand
it's their fault
k
"Believe it or not, tax dollars aren't used for government expenditures, especially for the United States since we are monetary sovereign

Hopefully Utah Rs block him
"Mark my words. If Republican majorities in Congress pass citizenship for millions of people and amnesty, I think itโs quite likely we will lose both houses of Congress and Speaker Nancy Pelosi will impeach President Trump," Sen. Cruz (TX) warns
Indeed.
the thing is, it's not prime American hours right now
it's still Europoor time for /pol/
wtf
delete that,
so....Mueller is indicting Russians because they made social media?
I want to give a quick rundwon
sure
i've analyzed this situation, okay
It appears that Russians forces worked with unwitting members of both Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump organizations in an attempt to sow chaos in the American political scene
the bit at the very end of Mueller's indictment letter stating that Trump staffers were โunwittingโ suggests he will end up clearing the campaign itself on anything related to collusion/conspiracy
AG Deputy Rosenstein pretty much sums this up in his own statement:
There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election.
Also, to answer your own question, yes,
because foreign nationals posing as Americans is a violation of US campaign laws
look at this btw, this is worth shilling:
I'm sure there were tons of foreign nationals shiling for Hill while posing as Americans
Russian forces worked with both two Democrat and Republican groups on the same _day_
they were,
yeah, and I'm sure it wasn't just Russians as well
one of them being the "Not my president" movement
I'm sure there are quite a few Britbongs, cucked Krauts, sissy Swedes, etc who posed as Americans
I'm sure there are quite a few leafs who did that
as well as many other nationalities
there is some truth behind the British part
this Russia thing is so fucking retarded
if you recall,
the Nunes memo indicates that British forces met with Manafort
the mexican illegals who voted did more to influence the election than russia
True
so is it pretty much confirmed that the Mueller/Muh Russia bullshit won't be around by November ?
also...
"Never downvoted an article faster in my life."
roflmao
sums it up perfectly
@๐Boo-ton๐ Where can I find statistics on how many murders are committed by illegal immigrants in the USA each year?
somehow my Googlefu isn't good enough to find it
This is the best I've got.
The fact is we don't have any data because illegals are a scarcely reported on statistical group.
Like the USSC here is the only source
The FBI is the general source I use
But the FBI only provides race and Hispanic stats
Likewise, many states and localities--especially sanctuary jurisdictions--do not publish stats on illegals' crimes.
I think I remember a statistic from years ago that more Americans have been killed by illegal immigrants than have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars (over the same period of time)
so that's why I assumed there was a statistic
@๐Boo-ton๐ make a new thread
I think we should vary the format
hmm
actually, I'll just do it again
new thread @everyone
I'm off to run an errand right now
will be back in an hour or two
The excuses these faggots have
"Uhhhh it's like months away let's just wait and let it take us by surprise and let the dems take over the country"
bump in all fields
I'm from Ohio
womensmarch? is this an afd thing or db20?
Ok, the results from LA House District 86 have come in
2 Rs will be sent to the runoff, and the D got 2.2 points more than in the previous election.
K
Thought I put it in the wrong channel
yeah, I'm gonna take it off alright
Legitimate political organization here?
we're trying
@christianfascism Legitimate as in officially sanctioned by actual organizations? No. Legitimate as in we're not just fucking around and we're taking this very seriously? Yes.
Next elections held will be a special primary in Feb. 27 in Arizona's 8th US House District. This is where it is.
