Food and gas taxes are insanely regressive. Everyone buys food and gas, the poorest mother with a job and the richest all drive and eat. Idk why liberals push for them so hard.

balls, I'm going to go back to my computer games before they get banned for being too triggering

@Banks=Gay because Democrats are misery peddlers

21 flipped

Play RDR2

Fair

no console 😦 no feminist killing for me

And torture some sufferagists.

164-163

well, I have a switch but that doesn't count XD

Rdr 2 has the ability to spin your guns if you double tap holster button so its an auto sell for me

Unfortunately I do not have rdr2

Maybe I should get it.

CA 47th could flip, but not much is in

dems have flipped 21

Gone, gone, GONE

Fucking Cali man.

Fuckin Evers is constantly ahead my dreams of dead public sector unions and cheap gas are dieing as we speak

Fifty. Fucking. Six. Districts.

she looks like she's sucking on a lemon

Ima have to spend my entire paycheck just to visit my friends for some goddamn shadowrun SMH

Republicans need to find a way to appeal to urban voters.

Aka black people.

Gibs?

167-164

after working in an upstate NY urgent care i assure you medicades hate repubs

and also cant spell vagina for shit

@Elijah I don't think its possible when urban voters on FOOD FUCKING STAMPS VOT TO DENY A BAN ON FOOD FUCKING TAXES

her face was made in a fucked up character creator

Goblin.

Honestly you talk to alot of urban people about issues and theyll sound like a Republican, just as youll talk to alot of rural republicans and theyll sound like democrats. Its kinda just the bubble you live in

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki urban voters are retarded confirmed

Alright I am gonna go and study like I was supposed to b doing all day. Have fun with the election guys

For a lot of states, when you buy food with food stamps, you don't pay sales tax.

This was a ban ON ALL Food sales tax

It would be kinda retarded if you did

And last year they approved a 1.5% tax on Insurance AND hospitals. Hospitals that will just bill it to their Oregon Health Plan

I think sales tax is dumb as a whole.

Its like the government taxing government checks. Its kinda just them blowing smoke up your ass.

yep

Oregon is morons. The vote to tax government programs

I think it should be just income tax.

Based on a flat percentage.

But I'm weird

Right not it is only income no sales tax in Oregon

sales tax is basically taxing the poor

Fly me to the moon

Sales tax literally discourages consumerism.

Texas is an Income tax free and sales tax only and do wonderfully

All tax should only be local property tax

22

gg

Lol, cute that you guys are arguing for no sales tax. Here in the Democratic Socialist Republic of The United Kingdom, we pay income tax AND sales tax.

nah. Tax incomes

Staples like Rent, Utilities and Food isn't taxed

You all dissapoint me

@ZERO same here

Larry Schweikert dared to hope, I can see it

Poor bastard

Obviously the correct answer is to return to our national roots.

We pay income, sales and property tax.

Sales tax is on commodities and TX has a black budget every year so

It works

Property tax -> roads, and local infrastructure

Tarrifs on forign good to pay for everything in existence

No other taxes

Just tarrifs.

As it used to be

Halleluja

Yeah, you'll get taxed just about everything in the UK. I'm waiting for the oxygen tax to be announced

States still taxed seperately @Banks=Gay

Shhhh

Only feds survived only on Tarriffs

Shhhhh

But I like my sneakers that are soaked in the blood of vietnamese children.

How many seats do the dems need to flip?

23

23

to get a 1 person majority

Fuck, we're already there

Just take your protectionism, what are you a democrat?

23? Shit. I thought it was 28.

Republicans flipped 1

hahahaha yeah fuck midterms

Welp, time to buy more ammo

So they need 1 more

Blue wave

?

how is it loking atm?

@dodo.sh Invest in Remington

I'm european see

172-166

Unless the Reps start flipping shit like crazy

they wont

They have the 1 in main, utah, or ny easy

@dodo.sh the republicans have control of the upper house

Someone should've stacked their deck with more mana.

Dem will win

the house

bleh

Now the question is how many seats above they win

@ZERO the republicans shoulda mana weaved

doesnt really matter how many seats above they win

Lets be real. Trumps biggest accomplishments have really only been foreign policy anyhow

Dems just need 1 more flip

I'm kinda glad I'm not in the us

@Banks=Gay true

they don't have a history of defiling the party

Economy

What about the whole 10 year economic high we heard so much about?

That Obama actually took credit for. The cretin.

Americans apparently don't care about the economy after all

Not Trump's fault

So waiting 2 years to get more domestic shit done probably isnt the end of the world

Or Obama's

If 2018 was this bad, I think 2020 will only be marginally better just because it's elections

Hell, he might even be able to compromise with the democratic house on some shiy

unless it's universal healthcare and open borders, i doubt it

Trump cut hundreds of various regulations.

F

F

Personally it is hard for me to want Republicans to win eithern

All of them are POSs

@Banks=Gay yea, there will be a couple center left dems who might cross (like with cavinaugh) so a matter of how much they win.

Being obstructionists doesnt look good. The only reason why it didnt completely kill the republicans when they did it with obama is because obama was pretty openly refusing to compromise at all when the house repubs aproached him.

Blue Waves.

I think trump is willing to at least try to work with the house. And if they refuse to work with him then thats easy political capital

Newsom took San Diego. I thought SD was red

Fucking hell

The mid term ground hog has come out of its hole, and seen its shadow

2 more years of Leftist screeching

Honestly get rid of daylight savingstime

Thats a policy I can stand for

Knute Buhler might take Clackamus country at 73%

Which is huge thats usually solid Blue

Doesn't matter at this point

No but it's telling

25 flips now

It's officially over

I'm going to bed

The issue is 6% of oregonians wasted their fucking vote on 'other' parties that never amount to shit

gg

Fuck. Walker V Evers is a perfect tie RN. 49/49

So Trump was a one-off

Plz no gas tax plz

Apparently America doesn't care about America anymore. Gg

The Democrats were good at getting their voters together this midterm.

Good night, sweet prince.

They were active af seriously

2 years of jack shit yeet

The stock market will crash hard

Arent midterms always like this anyway?

closer than I thought

Hopefully Republicans will remember that this next election.

Unless trump takes a ton of power, then be fun

Midterms are usually like this, yes.

Seriously I saw young dems campaigning 24/7

Debates

Thisyear

But usually lower turnout

It was insane. Ive never seen so many activists

In Bushes second term went rep

Republicans dared to dream this time

that was a mistake

Obama's first gave him a Dem congress

You could see that Democrats were bracing hard for a red wave too

I've never seen so many celebrities begging people to vote. I guess it worked this time.

Fucking Hollywood and their bullshit.

Republicans need to stop assuming that people will think they are the common sense party.

And actually mobilize their voter base

I think we need to stop calling it common sense after this past decade.

And convert the people that they can.

Apparently nobody has it. Can't be very common.

Republicans upped their ground game by 4x

They did everything possible

Republicans suck at running campaigns tbh

As a professional campaigner yourself im sure you know

Below the line is new State of Jefferson

Republicans don't have the same backing of the universities.

That too

lol, I would be scared to say I am not a Progressive.

Shitlins with no jobs can be a tought thing to overcome

And I go to a College in the Midwest

This is why we need military service to vote

<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

We need election day to be a national holiday.

I had to rush to my polling place to vote.

That doesn't excuse a lot of states

I'm becoming less unironic when I hope for a civil war to come to pass.

The slow march of "Progress™" never turns the other way.

Goddamnit. Evers is gonna win. Fuck me. My gas. My glorious car. My reasonable insurance rates. All gone

With early voting or mail only

true

They just taxed our groceries

You still have reasonable insurance rates @Banks=Gay after Obama?

I ended up rushing to my polling place.

Because I get off work at 6

Well... Reasonable-ish

lol

It stopped hemeraging tho

And the polling place closed at 7

Better than California you mean @Banks=Gay

Service guarantees fucking citizenship.

All states keep polls open until the line is gone

Yea like yaknow its not freefalling anymore

Yeah, but

I might not have made it on time

JUST BE HAPPY YOU CAN VOTE IN PERSON!

I work in the south part of the city

OREGON IS 'MAIL IN ONLY'.

And my polling place is north of the city

I live in ks

I seriously reckon that all voting should be done in person.

^

Mail in only sounds a lot like 'please tamper with the results!' to me.

So America just basically rejected Trump and embraced Democrats, I think

I mean this is pretty bad

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki @Fitzydog how does Military Service + Property owner sound as requirements for voting?

Eh not really

I think it was pretty clear this was key

Yeah, this is not good going into 2020

@galesteppes I've been saying that for a while now

Trump is either going to take a lot of executive power or do nothing for the next two years, both of which suck for getting elected again

Really think about this - what could the Republicans have done better in these last two years? Economy, foreign affairs, like fuck this was an amazing two years

The players just learned that the NPC's are now voting in larger numbers.

No president has EVER won a presidency after losing ground in a midterm /s

Trump's gonna need something special for 2020... maybe a little war with Russia will get everyone in line.

It's clear that it doesn't MATTER what Republicans do, it wasn't good enough for 2018 and it won't be good enough for 2020

we do have the courts

so that's good

but not the votes, apparently

RBG needs to keel over and leave

All that can be done is getting their voters to vote.

I just want this whole fiasco to stop

Like there's a lot of fucking NPCs

It's all so tiresome

Also if they took a stronger pro-life stance I might campaign for them and or donate.

@Black Mage It sounds like a good time to throw millions of npcs into the field of battle

But that won't happen.

Let's just keep driving towards the cliff

I think it's about time the Reps start shipping in white Europeans enmasse to escape mass immigration. I'll vote red for a green card.

It might just be time to get the militias together lol

Man. Look at the brightside. No riots tonight

Good sign

tru

Might be time to abolish democracy

That should offset the dems and their bullshit shipping in illegals.

No riots when the rioters win.

Pfft, there'll still be riots.
