@everyone

2018-03-21 17:26:39 UTC

TX-23 has changed between Democrats and Republicans many times

2018-03-21 17:26:47 UTC

On May 8th,

2018-03-21 17:27:20 UTC

We have the primaries for Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina, and West Virginia

2018-03-21 17:27:40 UTC

We can ignore the congressional races in IN, OH, and WV and focus on the Senate primaries

2018-03-21 17:27:44 UTC

If you are in Ohio, vote Mike Gibbons

2018-03-21 17:27:51 UTC

We can ignore NC all together

2018-03-21 17:27:54 UTC

For Senate

2018-03-21 17:28:08 UTC

NC is safe in almost all apsects

2018-03-21 17:41:00 UTC

Yep, this is already lost

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/426072754727419904/seat_lost.png

2018-03-21 17:52:48 UTC

How lol

2018-03-21 17:52:55 UTC

Oh wait

2018-03-21 17:52:57 UTC

That is IL

2018-03-21 18:16:28 UTC

My guess is that theyโ€™re not voting democrat because they like them, but because they just hate trump even more. The DNC regardless needs to be stopped, they would destroy our country in the state theyโ€™re in right now.

2018-03-21 19:22:38 UTC

Illinois is just a super democratic state to begin with, so I was rather surprised to see that they have a Republican governor. Second, the budget issue is what is will get that Democrat elected.

2018-03-21 19:26:58 UTC

Will get them elected

2018-03-21 20:05:46 UTC

we /need/ to get the unions on our sides

2018-03-21 20:06:11 UTC

It's weird,

2018-03-21 20:07:16 UTC

our economics make it possible

2018-03-21 20:07:34 UTC

Republicans has been performing better in White Suburban areas than they have in the Poor White Small Towns that won Trump the WH

2018-03-21 20:07:38 UTC

the social aspects should have the working class on our side

2018-03-21 20:08:09 UTC

The White Working Class are angry and disappointed with Trump

2018-03-21 20:08:12 UTC

I've told you.

2018-03-21 20:08:23 UTC

Karens vote R downballot.

2018-03-21 20:08:29 UTC

we need to convince them that

2018-03-21 20:08:40 UTC

The democrats blocked all of our work

2018-03-21 20:08:43 UTC

which is the truth

2018-03-21 20:08:47 UTC

they just don't see it

2018-03-21 20:08:51 UTC

Hopefully new China tarrifs can help.

2018-03-21 20:09:09 UTC

hopefully they can help, quickly*

2018-03-21 20:09:26 UTC

Economic recovery takes time,

2018-03-21 20:09:34 UTC

it does

2018-03-21 20:09:39 UTC

but we need fast political gains

2018-03-21 20:09:43 UTC

but Poor Whites don't like waiting

2018-03-21 20:09:56 UTC

so they backlash

2018-03-21 20:10:12 UTC

They hyped Trump up too much.

2018-03-21 20:10:20 UTC

^

2018-03-21 20:10:38 UTC

Trump overpromised

2018-03-21 20:11:01 UTC

What about the area where the steel mill opened?

2018-03-21 20:11:20 UTC

Grant City, I think.

2018-03-21 20:11:31 UTC

Would be interesting to see those results.

2018-03-21 20:12:10 UTC

It helped a bit

2018-03-21 20:12:56 UTC

Trump didn't overpromise.

2018-03-21 20:12:58 UTC

Trump needs to speak to these people.

2018-03-21 20:13:03 UTC

He actually just did what he had to do to win.

2018-03-21 20:13:29 UTC

Go to the backwaters, go to the rural communities and talk to them.

2018-03-21 20:13:35 UTC

The problem is that, ultimately, the Democrats are hellbent on making sure he doesn't win in 2020. To do this, they must stop Trump from implementing his campaign promises.

2018-03-21 20:14:01 UTC

Trump ran as a anti-establishmentarian

2018-03-21 20:14:17 UTC

He needs to reinforce this image

2018-03-21 20:15:11 UTC

It doesn't help when he goes golfing with billionaires and political elites

2018-03-21 20:16:12 UTC

Trump should just stop at a diner in small town Alabama or Louisiana every now and then

2018-03-21 20:16:31 UTC

It would be good optics

2018-03-21 20:18:01 UTC

Go to Chris' Hot Dogs in Montgomery.

2018-03-21 20:18:55 UTC

Great food, and many other presidents visited it.

2018-03-21 20:24:51 UTC

>Montgomery

2018-03-21 20:25:14 UTC

I've heard Trump is uncomfortable around black folks

2018-03-21 20:28:21 UTC

Not many blacks in the city center.

2018-03-21 20:28:55 UTC

Not many people walking around in the city, either.

2018-03-21 20:35:59 UTC

Lol

2018-03-21 20:54:22 UTC

I couldn't see myself walking on the streets of cities like Baltimore, Atlanta, Birmingham, Jackson or St. Louis

2018-03-21 20:55:25 UTC

there's probably a good reason these cities have seen the highest rates of White flight

2018-03-21 20:55:30 UTC

Some places are nice, though.

2018-03-21 20:55:48 UTC

I'm sure the suburbs have wonderful folks

2018-03-21 20:56:13 UTC

Dexter Avenue, which is basically Main Street of Montgomery and the surrounding areas are actually pretty great.

2018-03-21 20:56:48 UTC

Just a little oasis, though.

2018-03-21 20:57:33 UTC

But I guess most cities have a core that's nice, trashy inner-cities, and nice suburbs.

2018-03-21 21:31:09 UTC

HALLELUJAH! WHITEPILLS GALORE! THE PARKLAND EFFECT IS OVER! REPUBLICANS TRENDING UP!!!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/426130672256811008/parkland_effect.GIF

2018-03-21 21:37:02 UTC

Well this is great news.

2018-03-21 21:47:24 UTC

lot of whitepills today

2018-03-21 21:50:29 UTC

God is sending us a message.

2018-03-21 21:50:33 UTC

Don't give up!

2018-03-21 21:51:28 UTC

Goodness knows itโ€™s hard not too some days.

2018-03-21 21:51:55 UTC

@๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ what are the other white pills

2018-03-21 21:52:16 UTC

The only women who could win in IL-06 lost the primary

2018-03-21 22:00:15 UTC

So that means we have a good chance of securing that seat?

2018-03-21 22:03:02 UTC

as crazy as it may seem,

2018-03-21 22:03:23 UTC

if these recent YouGov and Quinnipiac polls are correct,

2018-03-21 22:03:32 UTC

we would win if the election were held today

2018-03-21 22:04:06 UTC

Now this is interesting.

2018-03-21 22:04:22 UTC

I think the Parkland shooting effect on Republicans is fading

2018-03-21 22:04:30 UTC

I wouldnโ€™t expect it with all the social media craziness.

2018-03-21 22:06:00 UTC

As screwed as it sounds, Iโ€™m glad the resource officer got the guy in Maryland. It means they canโ€™t touch it because it violates their โ€œgood guys with guns donโ€™t existโ€ narrative.

2018-03-21 22:07:26 UTC

I will admit, Hogg did a number on us for a bit.

2018-03-21 22:07:56 UTC

But isnโ€™t there another march planned this weekend?

2018-03-21 22:09:11 UTC

I think the American people don't care anymore,

2018-03-21 22:09:24 UTC

they're drained by how politicized this has all become

2018-03-21 22:09:38 UTC

I suppose the 2 minutes attention span worked in our favor this time.

2018-03-21 22:09:49 UTC

in a way,

2018-03-21 22:09:56 UTC

Hogg was a boon for us,

2018-03-21 22:09:59 UTC

But I get it. A lot of people are just tired of it all.

2018-03-21 22:10:06 UTC

he's divisive,

2018-03-21 22:10:15 UTC

he's political,

2018-03-21 22:10:30 UTC

he's really off-putting for a lot of Americans

2018-03-21 22:10:38 UTC

Caused record breaking NRA membership if I remember correctly

2018-03-21 22:10:45 UTC

500,000 (!)

2018-03-21 22:10:59 UTC

Well isnโ€™t that ironic

2018-03-21 22:11:18 UTC

They were trying to take down the NRA but it just made them stronger.

2018-03-21 22:11:36 UTC

who would've guessed that threatening to take your guns away makes people join organizations dedicated to protecting gun rights

2018-03-21 22:12:10 UTC

Arenโ€™t some guys organizing a march to protect gun rights?

2018-03-21 22:12:43 UTC

i've a bit unfamiliar with the counter-demonstrations, but I believe so

2018-03-21 22:13:57 UTC

Good luck to them. Theyโ€™re going to get blamed for every school shooting, get called Naziโ€™s, and be the trending hashtag on twitter for all the check mark squad to make snobbish comments at. And I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if a larger counter protest showed up.

2018-03-21 22:15:23 UTC

My school organized something for a few people to write letters to right letters to congress members for muh gun control. Iโ€™m ashamed to say my friend wanted to join.

2018-03-21 22:36:22 UTC

Well being called a nazi, racist, murder, etc. has been so overused that the words hvae lost their original meaning

2018-03-21 22:36:50 UTC

/pol/ is ran by JIDF as to convince people to commit their bidding

2018-03-21 22:37:53 UTC

good to be optimistic for once

2018-03-21 22:38:02 UTC

now we have to drive those nails in

2018-03-21 22:41:47 UTC

@FLanon

Latest McLaughlin poll has Dems up by 1

Quinnipiac poll: D+6 (previous polls D+15, D+10)

538 went from D+9.5 to D+6

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/426148449893744655/generic_ballot.png

2018-03-21 22:51:17 UTC

yeah, I know McL has a right wing bias, but that is a damn large gap to close. Since the PA situation has changed some things, what would our margin need to be now to have the House at 230 seats?

2018-03-21 22:52:34 UTC

before: 8-9

2018-03-21 22:52:44 UTC

now: 7-8

2018-03-21 22:53:22 UTC

before, I didn't take into account the incumbent retirement effect

2018-03-21 22:53:42 UTC

Not to just keep it, but at that margin: 230-205

2018-03-21 22:54:01 UTC

well,

2018-03-21 22:54:10 UTC

depends, if you want to be safe,

2018-03-21 22:54:20 UTC

and take into account the MOE,

2018-03-21 22:55:03 UTC

That's what I believe would be good for the legislation we need to pass, I really don't want it to end up like the situation we have in the Senate now

2018-03-21 22:55:18 UTC

I would say that Democrats would have to be at D+4 so they would not be able to take the house

2018-03-21 22:55:45 UTC

Sure, there's less cucks and all, but if we just retake it, that may not be a big enough bottleneck for Trump's agenda.

2018-03-21 22:55:46 UTC

there is 0% chance of taking the house if the average generic ballot is D+3 or lower

2018-03-21 22:56:22 UTC

right now, Democrats have slightly less than 50% chance of taking the House

2018-03-21 22:56:28 UTC

i'd say 47.5%

2018-03-21 23:04:43 UTC

great, we'll make it happen

2018-03-21 23:08:24 UTC

bring it down to D+3?

2018-03-21 23:09:43 UTC

We'll see.

2018-03-21 23:09:55 UTC

Honestly, it's not just about taking the house

2018-03-21 23:10:08 UTC

It's about grabbing every possible seat.

2018-03-21 23:10:32 UTC

We can't have a razor thin margin, we have to make it as wide as humanly possible.

2018-03-21 23:24:04 UTC

As of today, Immigration is the most important issue among the GOP base. It's the only real issue that matters

2018-03-21 23:24:33 UTC

where'd you find this?

2018-03-21 23:26:55 UTC

Quinnipiac University Poll from today

2018-03-21 23:27:56 UTC

We need to attach this to every email we send to those candidates

2018-03-22 01:17:54 UTC

that's the end of that chapter

2018-03-22 01:21:23 UTC

No investigation?

2018-03-22 01:21:35 UTC

Let's hope the right lesson was learned from this

2018-03-22 01:22:21 UTC

Yep. Fuck deadbeats.

This election was stolen from us.

2018-03-22 01:22:58 UTC

Look at Allegheny County.

2018-03-22 01:23:15 UTC

The blue spreads out into rural areas and doesn't continue into Washington county.

2018-03-22 01:23:24 UTC

Suspicious...

2018-03-22 01:38:13 UTC

Can't overstate the significance of this

2018-03-22 02:39:24 UTC

I can see one, but not the other, focus on the first, if you have to pick

2018-03-22 02:46:42 UTC

from where we're standing, we should reach for as many as possible

2018-03-22 02:46:54 UTC

2018-03-22 02:47:07 UTC

True,

2018-03-22 02:47:20 UTC

but we should focus on the most demographically viable districts

2018-03-22 02:47:38 UTC

This is about making a red storm, and making our chances best.

2018-03-22 02:47:59 UTC

Button Mash's list of targeted districts:

2018-03-22 02:48:58 UTC

We should focus our efforts on as many opportunities as we can get.

2018-03-22 02:49:39 UTC

That also means increasing the server population, so yeah, we should really reach out and get that discord link out there

Minnesota, damn.

2018-03-22 02:53:11 UTC

okay, those will be main priorities

2018-03-22 02:53:19 UTC

Minnesota, outside of the Twin Cities, is Trump Country

2018-03-22 02:53:22 UTC

>New Jersey

2018-03-22 02:53:27 UTC

I mean, maybe.

2018-03-22 02:53:38 UTC

and the other districts should be considered too

2018-03-22 02:53:39 UTC

I think they're just working class, like i WI.

2018-03-22 02:53:43 UTC

Not really Trump country.

2018-03-22 02:53:46 UTC

reach for the stars

2018-03-22 02:53:57 UTC

Most of these aren't Trump country,

2018-03-22 02:54:06 UTC

but these are these least difficult to take

2018-03-22 02:54:11 UTC

Trump isn't running, of course

2018-03-22 02:54:25 UTC

Why none from any southern states?

2018-03-22 02:54:33 UTC

Or Rust Belt.

2018-03-22 02:54:45 UTC

Gotta get that working class viote.

2018-03-22 02:54:52 UTC

Every Southern district,

2018-03-22 02:54:55 UTC

FL-13 is the close one near me

2018-03-22 02:54:56 UTC

with a white majority,

2018-03-22 02:54:59 UTC

has a GOP rep

2018-03-22 02:55:22 UTC

There is not a single White-majority district in the South left to take

2018-03-22 02:55:26 UTC

It's about 79% white

2018-03-22 02:55:34 UTC

Dem incumbent

2018-03-22 02:55:52 UTC

The issue is that the incumbent in that seat is the former governor of the fucking state

2018-03-22 02:55:56 UTC

Good luck getting Blacks in the South to vote Republican

2018-03-22 02:56:06 UTC

Button mash lol

2018-03-22 02:56:08 UTC

Blacks anywhere

2018-03-22 02:56:12 UTC

Nice meme

2018-03-22 02:56:36 UTC

79% white district in the (sorta) south

2018-03-22 02:56:41 UTC

those Black-majority Districts in Birmingham and Jackson and Atlanta aren't flipping

Pinellas County

2018-03-22 02:57:36 UTC

Oh, Tampa

2018-03-22 02:57:46 UTC

It's a bit of an urban county, but it's extremely swing

2018-03-22 02:57:56 UTC

Rich White Elites in Condos, I presume

2018-03-22 02:58:02 UTC

probably

2018-03-22 02:58:28 UTC

the main issue with that district is the incumbent, who was the governor of florida at one point

2018-03-22 02:59:10 UTC

But we should still put up a fight there

2018-03-22 03:00:15 UTC

anyways, my point is, don't limit yourself

2018-03-22 03:00:29 UTC

this is a good way to see the demographics of congressional districts

2018-03-22 03:01:17 UTC

median earnings: 30k a year

2018-03-22 03:05:09 UTC

Anyways, the unfortunate thing is that there's barely anyone running on the R side in that district

2018-03-22 03:05:32 UTC

You know what the NRCC would do if they were smart?

2018-03-22 03:05:42 UTC

this is true,

2018-03-22 03:05:51 UTC

the GOP has a recruitment problem this year

2018-03-22 03:05:57 UTC

what?

2018-03-22 03:06:10 UTC

They'd go to military reserves, maybe recruit off duty members as congressional candidates

2018-03-22 03:06:35 UTC

They usually have the best chances, usually young, and who doesn't love a veteran

2018-03-22 03:07:43 UTC

Unfortunately they're so fucking brain dead they allowed for a neo-nazi to get the nomination in what would have been a potentially competitive seat

2018-03-22 03:13:36 UTC

WTF

NONE OF THOSE FUNDS GO TOWARDS A CONCRETE WALL

2018-03-22 03:15:01 UTC

fucking retarded

2018-03-22 03:15:29 UTC

DUPED BY CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS YET AGAIN

2018-03-22 03:15:40 UTC

the military doesn't fucking need 700 bn ffs

2018-03-22 03:16:12 UTC

>give Dems everything they demand in full
>get 10% of your wall for 'border security' and more inflated military spending to fight Jew wars in the Middle East

2018-03-22 03:17:10 UTC

when is he going to realize this doesn't help him

2018-03-22 03:18:10 UTC

The point of America First was, "hey everyone else, take care of your own military, we're done with the world police stuff". This will not get him a single voter in the rust belt.

2018-03-22 03:18:57 UTC

This is so damn stupid I swear.

2018-03-22 03:21:21 UTC

The DoD is the most inefficient and wasteful government agency, they don't need one more damned cent.

2018-03-22 03:29:39 UTC

atm giving a border security budget is actually OK as long as you get enough for the Wall, as the prohibition on allocating funds to doing so has been removed

2018-03-22 03:30:43 UTC

border security is good

2018-03-22 03:31:10 UTC

they should funnel a bit of that unnecessary ridiculous military expansion money into the wall

2018-03-22 03:31:17 UTC

all it takes is 24 billion

2018-03-22 03:31:31 UTC

Yep.

2018-03-22 03:32:01 UTC

Easier to get $100 billion for the military than $2 billion for the Wall though

2018-03-22 03:35:37 UTC

in any case, the house freedom caucus is voicing opposition to it

2018-03-22 03:56:50 UTC

>What is Senate Filibuster

2018-03-22 03:57:32 UTC

They didn't get their DACA protections, so Democrats getting what they wanted isn't entirely true.

2018-03-22 04:14:54 UTC

Yikes!

2018-03-22 04:15:55 UTC

The bill **doubles** the cap on the H2-B worker guest program!
