"The committee started using the software a few months ago as part of an aggressive strategy to shape political conversations online. It has already flagged no less than 10 accounts to Twitter, resulting in their shutdown."

Fucking pieces of shit

You were a leftist?

2018-08-24 06:29:23 UTC

@[Lex] you missed the 1000 other times I mentioned it?

2018-08-24 06:37:36 UTC

yep

2018-08-24 06:56:14 UTC

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/online-gambling-site-trump-favored-over-every-challenger-in-2020 - apparently Trump is faring well in terms of reelection odds according to a top gambling website.

2018-08-24 07:21:54 UTC

@Deleted User how long ago were you a leftist and for how long about?

2018-08-24 07:22:33 UTC

I'd say 2013, maybe early 2014, was my turning point

2018-08-24 07:22:51 UTC

I was 'on the left' since I was 13, up to around 18 or 19

2018-08-24 07:22:57 UTC

ah

2018-08-24 07:23:06 UTC

were you like full commie or?

2018-08-24 07:23:10 UTC

although...I thought Gary Johnson was better than Obama or Romney in 2012, when I was only 17 turning 18

2018-08-24 07:23:48 UTC

considered myself 'progressive' and thought 'democratic socialism' wasn't unreasonable from 14 to 17

2018-08-24 07:23:53 UTC

pretty short phase, in retrospect

2018-08-24 07:24:14 UTC

but even when I started to shift, I still held many lefty traits

2018-08-24 07:24:19 UTC

At least you took pragmatism into account

2018-08-24 07:24:38 UTC

yeah, I don't think I was ever full on communist, but I was curious about it

2018-08-24 07:24:51 UTC

rather than the armchair marxists

2018-08-24 07:26:30 UTC

I put pragmatism before ideology in all cases

2018-08-24 07:26:50 UTC

I have shifted a bit around teen years as i imagine all do

2018-08-24 08:15:51 UTC

@Deleted User so you're 23-24?

2018-08-24 09:26:18 UTC

2018-08-24 09:31:56 UTC

this would be such a maga map

2018-08-24 09:32:01 UTC

not realistic in the slightest

2018-08-24 09:32:04 UTC

but maga af

2018-08-24 09:32:09 UTC

AZ prolly going d

2018-08-24 09:32:15 UTC

nv is suprisingly close tho

2018-08-24 09:32:22 UTC

and az is v similar to nv

2018-08-24 09:40:05 UTC

I say NV goes blue (it could really go either way though tbh, RCP average favours Rosen by only 0.6%, AZ goes blue (we'll have to wait until the GOP primary is over to make a meaningful projection tbh), IN goes red (very red state, Donnelly has low favourables), FL goes red (Rick Scott is much more well-liked than Nelson and RCP avg. favours him), MO goes red (Hawley has better optics and the RCP avg favours him), ND goes red (RCP avg. favours Cramer rn), WV stays blue (Manchin is still well-liked as a usually conservative Democrat, esp. if he votes Kavanaugh. RCP average favours him significantly too), MT stays blue (very popular senator).

2018-08-24 09:40:30 UTC

So I'd say it'll be 53-47.

2018-08-24 09:41:42 UTC

We'll pick AL back up in 2021.

2018-08-24 09:42:25 UTC

But it could easily be 55 also.

2018-08-24 09:42:36 UTC

Getting 55 seats isn't completely improbable.

2018-08-24 09:42:56 UTC

But I HIGHLY doubt we'll get any more than that.

2018-08-24 09:43:15 UTC

I do not think we'll pick up Montana or West Virginia, the next most vulnerable states.

2018-08-24 09:44:13 UTC

In a perfect world, we'd get 57-43.

2018-08-24 09:44:49 UTC

We can use these "conservative" Democrats to our legislative advantage however.

2018-08-24 09:45:07 UTC

I strongly believe Donnelly and Manchin will vote for Kavanaugh.

2018-08-24 09:46:19 UTC

God forgive us if we allow Sinema to win the Arizona senate seat however.

2018-08-24 09:46:25 UTC

a truly dark day.

2018-08-24 09:46:52 UTC

The second sodomite in the Senate then I believe.

2018-08-24 09:47:25 UTC

It's a tragedy that we very likely won't take the governorship in Colorado either.

2018-08-24 09:47:45 UTC

Since a homosexual Jew will be its governor.

2018-08-24 11:58:45 UTC

what is your opinion on trump?

2018-08-24 13:12:39 UTC

I'd like to remind y'all that securing the House is more important than the Senate

2018-08-24 13:13:05 UTC

Well, not necessarily more important, but we stand to lose more

@[Lex] 23 turning 24

2018-08-24 13:15:34 UTC

@Diethard you mean the House of Representatives

2018-08-24 13:15:49 UTC

Congress comprises both the House AND the Senate

2018-08-24 13:16:55 UTC

"I say NV goes blue (it could really go either way though tbh, RCP average favours Rosen by only 0.6%, AZ goes blue (we'll have to wait until the GOP primary is over to make a meaningful projection tbh), IN goes red (very red state, Donnelly has low favourables), FL goes red (Rick Scott is much more well-liked than Nelson and RCP avg. favours him), MO goes red (Hawley has better optics and the RCP avg favours him), ND goes red (RCP avg. favours Cramer rn), WV stays blue (Manchin is still well-liked as a usually conservative Democrat, esp. if he votes Kavanaugh.

it's August 24, not November 5

2018-08-24 14:21:23 UTC

Did anyone else see the news about North Korea openly calling for a treaty to end the Korean War

2018-08-24 14:25:07 UTC

We could see the end of the Korean War on our hands

2018-08-24 14:27:51 UTC

that was a while ago.

2018-08-24 14:36:16 UTC

No, they didnโ€™t actually sign a treaty, they just made motions towards ending it. This would officially end the war as a whole

2018-08-24 15:04:50 UTC

The best possible thing for us is to have a big Korean treaty about a week before Nov 6.

2018-08-24 15:09:07 UTC

well, sure, but I can think of quite a few things that would be even better

2018-08-24 15:25:26 UTC

Blue Scare boys.

2018-08-24 15:25:31 UTC

It's going to be the next IOTBW

2018-08-24 15:29:09 UTC

I think that defeating Tom Wolf should be priority #1.

2018-08-24 16:05:34 UTC

hmm

2018-08-24 16:06:09 UTC

yeah; Rick Scott could be the Jason Kander of this cycle

2018-08-24 16:06:11 UTC

at minimum

2018-08-24 16:17:04 UTC

Well, I just finished taking my mom and pop over to early vote

2018-08-24 21:49:09 UTC

My pop really got some energy from the experience, atm he's contacting my extended family to all go out to vote, good stuff

2018-08-24 21:51:31 UTC

Predictions are after Nov 6 as long as we hold what we need to hold, gain what we need to gain is that recent Democrat overperfomance will burn out but as a result "news and the media" (read as liberal propaganda stations) will look for the next scandal to try to push for Trump's impeachment while blowing certain non issues out of proportion to keep the liberal hivemind agitated.

2018-08-24 22:54:26 UTC

It's going to be very interesting which of these vulnerable senators vote for Kavanaugh.

2018-08-24 23:16:33 UTC

@FLanon what were the other people at the polling place like?

2018-08-24 23:16:35 UTC

lots of hispanics?

2018-08-24 23:16:44 UTC

lots of people who would presumably be Nelson voters?

2018-08-24 23:16:49 UTC

or the other way round?

2018-08-24 23:35:40 UTC

Completely empty

2018-08-25 00:15:03 UTC

@FLanon have you convinced your family to vote Scott?

2018-08-25 01:25:41 UTC

all of them, didn't take much convincing, they like Scott

2018-08-25 01:45:45 UTC

excellent stuff

@FLanon

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/governor/fl/florida_governor_republican_primary-6289.html

new Gravis poll says that DeSantis is up by 15 over Putnam. Gravis is considered to be a shitty pollster, but does this change your mind about your hypothesis that Putnam will win

2018-08-25 03:10:41 UTC

My hypothesis is that *if* Putnam would be nominated, he'd have a better shot in the general than DeSantis

2018-08-25 03:10:55 UTC

In the primary, DeSantis has a better shot

2018-08-25 03:25:54 UTC

Guys, why is Canada in the G7 but Russia isnโ€™t?

2018-08-25 15:50:27 UTC

@Rhodesiaboo Because Canada's economy is stronger and Russia was kicked out.

2018-08-25 15:50:56 UTC

invasion of Crimea

2018-08-25 15:51:04 UTC

Also, the media is doing its job and promoting Gary Johnson. This can easily split the vote in New Mexico.

2018-08-25 15:52:13 UTC

good man

2018-08-25 16:46:48 UTC

@Ghawk This is just a bullshit Leftist narrative. Russia's economy is roughly on par with that of Germany, but if you use bogus stats, it comes out weaker.

2018-08-25 16:48:33 UTC

@FLanon It's actually because of Obama appointing a psycho with a mental disorder where she believed the USSR still existed to run relations in the Eastern Europe region.

2018-08-25 21:57:00 UTC

No it's Krysten Sinema and Chele Upton Chiavacci Farley, who are both obviously different people and definitely not both RS on alts

2018-08-25 22:18:20 UTC

So after Iโ€™m done reading The Republic Iโ€™m thinking on reading/listening to some books about stoicism. Should I do it?

2018-08-25 22:19:50 UTC

Meditations

2018-08-25 22:21:19 UTC

That was by Marcus Aurelius correct?

2018-08-25 22:22:25 UTC

That's right

2018-08-25 22:23:19 UTC

I feel like Stoicism is going to be a useful train of thought to learn, hopefully I can get something out of it

2018-08-25 22:24:05 UTC

Iโ€™m just going through a bunch of important philosophical and political works right now to make myself well read

@GermanEastAfrica Read Seneca, I think he wrote Letters from a Stoic

2018-08-25 23:46:52 UTC

also read Epicurus

2018-08-25 23:47:03 UTC

In fact reading anything Greek/Roman is pretty good

2018-08-25 23:47:20 UTC

Another stoic is Epictetus

Two open senate seats following the midterms then.

2018-08-26 18:27:21 UTC

Thereโ€™s something more important happening, there was just another shooting in Jacksonville

Nah I donโ€™t think so

2018-08-26 20:06:50 UTC

If heโ€™s Not White theyโ€™ll say โ€œNot all (whatever race he was)โ€ and theyโ€™ll advocate for Gun Control. If he was White or a Hapa or a Mulatto theyโ€™ll say he was White, be racist against whites, and then advocate for Gun Control

2018-08-26 20:12:03 UTC

Possible motive?

2018-08-26 20:12:45 UTC

Any information I should know?

2018-08-26 20:13:52 UTC

The Left is attacking Trump for not making a statement.

2018-08-26 20:13:59 UTC

It's already time to mobilize on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

2018-08-26 20:14:04 UTC

Didn't it only happen like an hour ago?

2018-08-26 20:14:09 UTC

yes

2018-08-26 20:14:12 UTC

You think that shit matters

2018-08-26 20:14:17 UTC

We always have to mobilize for this shit.

2018-08-26 20:14:23 UTC

They jump on it like a pack of wolves

2018-08-26 20:14:25 UTC

Well tag everyone

2018-08-26 20:14:28 UTC

Get em going

2018-08-26 20:14:35 UTC

Exactly. We can't let up.

2018-08-26 20:14:42 UTC

As soon as it happens they fee up the engines

2018-08-26 20:15:08 UTC

Sic the dogs

2018-08-26 20:15:11 UTC

2018-08-26 20:20:42 UTC

Hey

2018-08-26 20:20:53 UTC

I should be able to talk in <#469630344660779028>

2018-08-26 20:21:14 UTC

The rest shouldn't but I should be able to give an assignment

2018-08-26 20:21:39 UTC

Either way all commentary needs to be moved here

2018-08-26 20:22:05 UTC

Done.

2018-08-26 20:22:15 UTC

Thanks

2018-08-26 20:22:24 UTC

Ok

2018-08-26 20:22:34 UTC

So umm he rage quit and shot up the place?

2018-08-26 20:22:36 UTC

.....

2018-08-26 20:22:44 UTC

How did this not happen sooner?

2018-08-26 20:23:40 UTC

That's just something someone made up.

2018-08-26 20:23:59 UTC

It's a theory

2018-08-26 20:24:04 UTC

And one that may be correct

2018-08-26 20:24:56 UTC

yeah but we don't know if "dude got angry at his son playing too much madden" is wrong either

2018-08-26 20:25:12 UTC

The police aren't even certain that there was only one guy killing people yet.

2018-08-26 20:25:45 UTC

So maybe a coordinated attack?

2018-08-26 20:25:53 UTC

and it could also be gang violence, as a murder did occur at a local high school on Friday

2018-08-26 20:26:02 UTC

Oh geez

2018-08-26 20:26:04 UTC

Nope, they don't know.

2018-08-26 20:26:14 UTC

The dude killed himself so there's a very high chance he was acting alone.

2018-08-26 20:26:23 UTC

but they're not sure if he killed himself

2018-08-26 20:26:53 UTC

So the suspect may be on the loose?

2018-08-26 20:27:11 UTC

What a lovely Sunday

2018-08-26 20:28:31 UTC

This is pretty much routine when they don't know anything.

2018-08-26 20:28:42 UTC

Yeah and it's annoying

2018-08-26 20:28:54 UTC

I hate not knowing anything

2018-08-26 20:28:55 UTC

so they didn't reveal his ethnicity yet

2018-08-26 20:29:08 UTC

We don't know if he's alive or dead

2018-08-26 20:29:18 UTC

So they probably don't know his skin color

2018-08-26 20:29:26 UTC

They also don't know if he's a group of people or not.
