If the Democrats retake the House, this is how they will do it. Whole spreadsheet here. If you're trying to predict who will control the House next year, look at the seats right at the tipping point.

Anyone online?

2018-06-09 13:25:21 UTC

No, go away.

Hello

2018-06-09 14:23:13 UTC

Hi.

2018-06-09 14:42:17 UTC

So apparently people are still up in arms about the president wanting Russia back in the G8 because of โ€œmuh Crimeaโ€

Looks like a painting, doesn't it?

2018-06-09 17:26:15 UTC

Just look at the body language.

2018-06-09 17:27:22 UTC

Yep.

2018-06-09 18:18:12 UTC

Lol it looks like Trump is in a time out chair and they are all lecturing him about bad behavior

2018-06-09 18:18:32 UTC

And Trump is just like "does it look like l give a fuck?"

2018-06-09 18:44:35 UTC

Nope.

2018-06-09 18:45:01 UTC

It looks like Trump, Abe, & allies are up against Merkel and Juncker.

2018-06-09 18:45:43 UTC

The EU is making demands and passively making concessions. Trump is refusing to let go of anything but he's getting them to surrender little by little.

2018-06-09 18:46:35 UTC

Good stuff

2018-06-09 19:15:37 UTC

Hey guys

2018-06-09 19:27:16 UTC

Found something interesting about the NFL

2018-06-09 20:19:24 UTC

guys

2018-06-09 20:19:38 UTC

it is fucking happening

2018-06-09 20:19:47 UTC

they are literally chasing police away

2018-06-09 20:19:59 UTC

throwing trash at government buildings

2018-06-09 21:04:55 UTC

Wow

2018-06-09 21:53:40 UTC

@Pielover19 remember how we briefly talked about making a "best case scenario" map for the House races ? Can you prep that up real quick ?

2018-06-09 21:55:08 UTC

best case scenario as in -> winnable through a hard fought properly done campaign and solid Trump performance

we're not talking about rare cases like Feinstein dying and being replaced by John Podesta who gets exposed for Pizzagate

2018-06-09 21:55:29 UTC

so basically, stuff like winning all lean/likely Republicans, all tossups, all lean D's

2018-06-09 21:59:57 UTC

even if that happened then De Leon would win lul

2018-06-09 22:00:33 UTC

oh yeah, brainfart, forgot about that

2018-06-09 22:00:46 UTC

replace 'Feinstein' with 'Gillibrand' then

2018-06-09 22:00:49 UTC

yeah

2018-06-09 22:00:54 UTC

or Warren

2018-06-09 22:01:37 UTC

yeah, best case for senate is something like beating Bob Menendez, Tim Kaine, Tina Smith, Amy Klobuchar, Bob Casey, etc

2018-06-09 22:01:44 UTC

not beating Bernie Sanders

2018-06-09 22:01:58 UTC

technically, it *could* happen, but it's not really something to aim for

2018-06-09 22:02:13 UTC

of course, yes

2018-06-09 22:33:52 UTC

2018-06-10 00:36:03 UTC

Alright.

2018-06-10 00:48:51 UTC

Absolute best case scenario.

2018-06-10 01:01:47 UTC

@Pielover19 I can envision better.

2018-06-10 01:02:07 UTC

How so?

2018-06-10 01:02:16 UTC

This is just the realistic scenario.

2018-06-10 01:04:25 UTC

There's still a few districts that could be won, were recently won, or could be subject to anti-gerrymandering rulings this year. In particular, there's one district of MA that a moderate could win, potentially up to three in Maryland (best case scenario), and maybe a couple other districts we just recently lost.

2018-06-10 01:09:17 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/455176594953338891/RealisticBestCaseScenarioHouse.PNG

2018-06-10 01:27:25 UTC

Moderates could win DE-AL, MA-9, IL-10, and a few MD districts that could be gained via the WI/MD gerrymandering case.

2018-06-10 01:29:32 UTC

That said, Wisconsin (in a realistic best case scenario) could win its case while Maryland could lose its case, despite the obvious fact that the SCOTUS would prefer to appear bipartisan, based on the fact that Maryland's 2010 redistricting scheme is both visibly worse and also was fairly transparently discussed--allowing the Supreme Court to see that there was motive, which is not so clearly visible in the Wisconsin case.

2018-06-10 01:52:20 UTC

lol look at this pickup in 1932 when Roosevelt trounced Hoover

2018-06-10 01:52:28 UTC

D's won 97 seats

2018-06-10 01:52:38 UTC

went from 216 to 313

2018-06-10 01:53:21 UTC

4 years later, the total went up to 334

2018-06-10 01:53:30 UTC

the Republicans only had 88 seats after that

2018-06-10 02:35:48 UTC

Rick Scott (R) 48% (+3)

My call for US congressional redistricting after the 2020 census based on current population growth rates.
Yellow=losing a district for sure
Purple= possibly losing a district
Green= gaining a district for sure
Blue= Possibly gaining a district.

2018-06-10 03:27:47 UTC

I am not sure honestly.

2018-06-10 03:28:04 UTC

The population for LA has slowing down.

2018-06-10 03:28:20 UTC

Purple mate. Also, Louisiana could also gain a district; our population actually grew after Katrina.

2018-06-10 03:28:34 UTC

The state missed its 40 million in 2016.

2018-06-10 03:28:50 UTC

@Nuke You lost a district after the 2010 census.

2018-06-10 03:29:30 UTC

Correct. We lost a district but gained in population, just not fast enough to make up for the increased counting of illegals.

2018-06-10 03:29:51 UTC

Interesting.

2018-06-10 03:30:19 UTC

Also Popeyes chicken sucks.

2018-06-10 03:30:31 UTC

It hasn't been good in years.

2018-06-10 03:30:51 UTC

And Louisiana's population has only grown by 3.3% since 2010.

2018-06-10 03:31:15 UTC

At the most, you may grow by 5% by 2020.

2018-06-10 03:33:39 UTC

So uh

2018-06-10 03:33:47 UTC

Did you factor the census changes?

2018-06-10 03:34:02 UTC

The Northeast looks OK because states there have illegals.

2018-06-10 03:34:18 UTC

But Minnesota, Florida, California, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona look weird.

2018-06-10 03:34:23 UTC

I am aware that the census changes.

2018-06-10 03:34:41 UTC

But states like Illinois has had a negative growth rate since 2010.

2018-06-10 03:34:59 UTC

Don't worry. They're certain to lose seats because of illegals in the first place.

2018-06-10 03:35:16 UTC

Ohio's population isn't doing well either.

2018-06-10 03:35:28 UTC

The county I am in has had a negative growth rate since 2010.

2018-06-10 03:36:52 UTC

Hah, just looked up another statistic and found a funny tidbit: North Dakota, with 12.5% growth, definitely does not qualify.

2018-06-10 03:36:58 UTC

It'll stay At-Large.

2018-06-10 03:37:15 UTC

Most likely

2018-06-10 03:37:28 UTC

The population hasn't hit 1 million yet.

2018-06-10 03:37:47 UTC

Montana was considered in 2010 to gain a congressional district, but fell short.

2018-06-10 03:38:26 UTC

Yeah, Montana has had potential every census since they lost their second district.

2018-06-10 03:39:12 UTC

Given Rhode Island has two districts with a mere ~500K people each, Montana really deserves one.

I've noticed a pattern

2018-06-11 02:49:16 UTC

Democrats in Whiter state with higher concentrations of blue-collar White constituents are supporting Trump's tariffs

2018-06-11 02:49:22 UTC

2018-06-11 05:41:00 UTC

Whites in Louisiana support Trump 76% to 18%

2018-06-11 05:41:26 UTC

But only 10% of Blacks in Louisiana support Trump

2018-06-11 05:56:47 UTC

A fair number of people think along blackpill sort of lines

2018-06-11 05:56:54 UTC

They won't approve because he's not far-right enough.

2018-06-11 05:57:00 UTC

But this has shrunk drastically

2018-06-11 06:01:48 UTC

I assume a disproportionate number of Whites who disapprove of Trump are concentrated in New Orleans
either that or,
Many Whites are angry that Trump isn't Whitening Louisiana like they had expected

2018-06-11 06:03:20 UTC

Putting aside the fact that he has a (D) next to his name, how would you rate your governor @Nuke

2018-06-11 06:04:06 UTC

Does the fact he is a White Southern Male help him stay electable

2018-06-11 06:12:22 UTC
2018-06-11 06:12:26 UTC

not too bad I guess

2018-06-11 06:12:31 UTC

He's reelectable.

2018-06-11 06:12:41 UTC

I won't vote for him.

2018-06-11 06:13:10 UTC

All he's done to really rustle my jimmies is his geographically unequal tax-cutting

2018-06-11 06:13:49 UTC

He fucked over people in the New Orleans region since he doesn't need our votes (minority-majority area) and cut taxes for everyone else

2018-06-11 06:14:32 UTC

Louisiana ex-slaves BTFO

2018-06-11 06:14:57 UTC

The largest minority-majority city in the state still gets tax cuts though

2018-06-11 06:15:16 UTC

He only fucked up New Orleans and all of its suburbs and the rural areas outside of them.

2018-06-11 06:15:36 UTC

But mostly just New Orleans and to a somewhat lesser extent suburbs

He also vetoed some public works projects in my area too, but it was mostly minor.

2018-06-11 06:28:10 UTC

Also before he cut taxes unequally he abolished most of the Jindal tax cuts by executive fiat

2018-06-11 06:28:33 UTC

And because we were running a deficit, the legislature couldn't issue a veto override

Commence Democrat cocksucking

@ThatRightWingFish That enthusiasm gap is the best part about it, that was killing us for the past few months, if R enthusiasm is higher than D enthusiasm, we are in a very good spot.

2018-06-11 17:01:04 UTC

Plus Rick Scott beating Nelson is nice.

2018-06-11 17:01:14 UTC

Fuck the Koch brothers though

Net neutrality ends today boys. Can I get a T pose in the chat for respect

2018-06-11 17:42:47 UTC

oh wow the internet is literally dead

2018-06-11 17:42:58 UTC

And everyone forgot about it

2018-06-11 17:58:08 UTC

Net Neutrality is gone!!!

2018-06-11 17:58:14 UTC

Millions will die!!!

2018-06-11 17:59:26 UTC

Hahhaa

2018-06-11 17:59:39 UTC

All those people who made a big deal about it

2018-06-11 18:01:47 UTC

Well the โ€net neutrality protectionโ€ is still here, tomorrow Net Neutrality dies

2018-06-11 18:12:27 UTC

The amount of delays on this is ridiculous.

2018-06-11 18:21:49 UTC

Can someone enlighten me how Net Neutrality is a bad thing? Iโ€™ve only heard one side of the argument and not much the other side.

2018-06-11 18:30:52 UTC

@GermanEastAfrica It's just a massive blanket government regulation policy.

2018-06-11 18:31:53 UTC

Basically, companies all have to provide the same price per rate no matter how much data a website uses.

2018-06-11 18:33:20 UTC

Internet service providers treat all data the same.

2018-06-11 18:33:58 UTC

whether you're reading a document, or streaming porn, even though one is extremely more taxing and requires more data.

2018-06-11 18:34:01 UTC

same rate.

2018-06-11 18:35:26 UTC

Right but doesnโ€™t that mean that people will have to pay more for certain websites based off of data usage?

2018-06-11 18:36:24 UTC

Theoretically, it can happen, but it's extremely rare. Furthermore, the US didn't have Net Neutrality until 2015, and it was still extremely rare companies would do that.

2018-06-11 18:36:31 UTC

because it pisses off their consumers.

2018-06-11 18:36:41 UTC

I think it's literally happened twice.

2018-06-11 18:36:42 UTC

And IF it does.

2018-06-11 18:36:44 UTC

Right I was just clarifying

2018-06-11 18:36:46 UTC

This is the best part.

2018-06-11 18:36:52 UTC

Even if it does happen:

2018-06-11 18:38:15 UTC

Since ISPs are regarded as natural monopolies, or legal monopolies, if they do throttle, block, or majorly over charge users more for a specific website, the consumer can take them to court under consumer protection or anti-trust laws.

2018-06-11 18:38:19 UTC

And usually win.

2018-06-11 18:38:27 UTC

In the technical parts of it:

2018-06-11 18:40:16 UTC

internet service providers are being designated back as an information service, which they were for most of American history, it wasn't until 2015 Obama's FCC unilaterally made them a telecommunications service. As an information service the FTC has jurisdiction to intervene in anti-trust and consumer protections issues.

2018-06-11 18:40:52 UTC

I see, so the whole save net neutrality thing is pretty much a big overreaction to ending a policy that allows for more government control

2018-06-11 18:41:27 UTC

yes.

2018-06-11 18:41:32 UTC

It's really not a big deal at all.

2018-06-11 18:42:06 UTC

You hear about what the EU is doing with their internet policies?

2018-06-11 18:42:27 UTC

yeah but I don't really follow it.

2018-06-11 18:42:31 UTC

I don't know what's happening.

2018-06-11 18:42:44 UTC

This should help explain

2018-06-11 18:43:05 UTC

One of the major points is that you will have to pay a fine for links or something of that manner
