Sup. Where my /lefty/polfags at

Are you guys all right wing

I'm a leftist. I still think you guys are going to win both the Senate and the House. At the very least the whole midterm will be a wash

Nelson, Donnelly, Heitkamp are all very vulnerable moderate Democrats in Trump-winning states

But then again, Trump was running up against Hillary, so it might not be a good indicator

@Red Storm (in NYC) that's like saying Texas is going to vote in Beto. Not happening most likely

Does anyone have the chart where it shows which Senators are up for grabs

Are you both New Yorkers

Who cares about California though; It's a blue state for the most part (fortunately for me)

But the only two states Republicans have to worry about are Arizona and Nevada

The rest is on the Democrats

At least that's what I think

What makes you say that

Idk that much about the House races

Is one of the Darrel Issa

Is Joe Arpaio running for Senate in Arizona? Will Arizona become blue or stay red?

That's only if the majority of the people are evangelicals in Minnesota. I don't see how any liberal or maybe any moderate conservative would vote Bachmann

But in general, the midterms are probably going to be a Red Wave or just a stalemate. IDK how a Blue Wave might happen

^

"Soccer moms" are prevalent in the Midwest though, so I doubt its about who the people are more than the party they are currently in

Well, there was a resurgence of Tea Partiers at that time. Idk if there is going to be a progressive/populist resurgence this year

Maybe there is, IDK

Not if the Democrats are moderate Democrats though. Donnelly for instance is probably a more right-wing Democrat. Same with Manchin and Heitkamp

I don't understand why Democrats think that just because Alabama nearly went to Jones that somehow this is a referendum against Trump. Jones nearly won against a Pedo

Barely won***

My bad

Actually, the problem with Beto's campaign is that it isn't as funded as much as Ted Cruz's campaign. Many people don't know O Rourke, but a lot of them know Ted Cruz.

Democrats know very well that Texas is a goner and are not aiding them as much as the Reps are with Cruz

As a leftist, I know it's not true. Ted Cruz isn't as hated by Texas as Roy Moore was in Alabama

I mean, two of the governorships went towards Democrats this year (although they are neoliberal corporatists)

Just a regular progressive

I'm both fiscally and socially liberal.

Not a Keynesian.

Didn't Warren vote for like 80 million dollars in aid towards some War?

Yeah. I think Warren isn't really a progressive. Maybe on some issues but others not so much

But I wouldn't trust the media on whether or not hter will be a blue or red sweep. CNN, Fox, MSMBC are all biased in their own ways

And most of them dont report on the grassroots campaign (Progressives and Social Democrats from CNN and MSNBC/Austrians and Libertarians from Fox)

Polls are retarded, but most people look at the polls and no the candidate's voting history anyways so thats what the media goes for

But yeah, Indiana looks like its going red definitely, Florida and North Dakota are probably going to go red, and IDK about the rest of the states (in terms of the Senate)

I'd honestly laugh if Senator Menendez is still in the Senate even after the corruption trial and being faced with al those charges

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 IDK about West Virginia. Manchin won by a pretty significant margin last senate election, even though West Virginia is a mostly red state.

What is a pseudo liberal

Also, are there any more political discord groups I can join

So a neoliberal?

So a Progressive?

So based on that, it looks like there might be a blue wave?

What makes you think that

What makes the midterms flip to the opposite party of the President that was elected before it?

Rick Scott is running? Didn't know that

Thoughts on Austin Petersen running for MO Senate?

And John James for MI Senate?

I mean, its Virginia, one of the more blue states.

You have to ask though, did people vote for Trump because they actually like his policies, or did people vote for Trump because they were against Clinton

Yeah, so methinks people just didn't like Hillary and didn't vote, but its different with the midterms, since there is essentially no democrat that is more loathed than Hillary

I think

IDK I'm not really looking for a red storm since i'm a lefty but its pretty interesting to see what you guys think

Media coverage helped a lot with that though @FLanon . Media shilled for Hillary 24/7 and was biased for her.

Probably "for the lols" since its Trump

kek

lmao just wondering do you guys think Nehlen is going to beat Ryan during the primaries

Didn't he lose quite a lot to Ryan last midterm?

lmao I was thinking that as well. Nehlen doesn't talk like a radical right-winger or seems like one

Looking at some of the interviews

Oh yeah. Macron is nowhere near left wing. He's more neoliberal, sort of like the Clintons

Why do McCain and Flake both have low approval ratings in AZ? Will it turn blue or at least purple?

I thought they had low approval ratings because AZ is shifting more liberal idk

Also, Ted Cruz is hated with both the Republicans and Democrats, but he's really popular here in TX

Senate Republicans and Democrats*

lmao

He's a former libertarians going Republican so he's pretty popular among the Libertarian crowd

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Yeah definitely.

So in that way Hillary Clinton would've been way better for Republicans because they would be in the House and Senate

Do /pol/fags actually believe in shit like white nationalism, the Jewish Question, etc. or is it just a meme

Right, but are most of them legitimately pushing for a white ethnostate, questioning how Jews run everything, etc. or are they just LARPing for whatever reason

I wouldn't trust polls since they can be very ambiguous.

tbh the Media should just tell what each politicians' voting record is instead of shoving polls saying who is in the lead, so people can make decisiosn based on policy not advancing whatever politician is ahead

>tfw I don't think that Chelsea Manning isn't necessarily a bad choice for the US Senate

I think* whelp

Yeah. Most of the Democratic establishment is shilling against her hard.

Even if she wins or loses, as long as she exposes the corrupt elite agenda of the surveillance state, the war crimes committed by the US, etc. I'd say its a win

But realistically speaking, she's going to probably lose to Cardin anyways

I mean, they are 3 of the most vulnerable Democratic Senators in red states, so its no wonder they are trying to save face by preventing a shutdown

explain

Even though its likely that Cruz will win Texas, It's a bit too early. There might be some controversies from now until November that might cost him

True

kek

But one question, are both the Republican challengers to NY and Massachusetts relatively popular or relatively unknown

Also, how is the situation coming along with Ohio and Sherrod Brown? Is there another Republican challenger that can possibly unseat him? I know Mandel dropped out and the other dude didn't want to join

Ok, because another factor to consider with TX is that Beto is relatlvely unknown, while Ted is very well known in TX which could aid him.

Does anyone have the link to who is racing against who in the House and Senate?

anyone?

Right, but I want the link where it showed who all the possible candidates were running against each state so far. I believe it was one of the links on the midterms thread

late

I believe it the homepage was green

found it

https://www.thegreenpapers.com/G18/events.phtml?format=chronological&type=e

Oh yeah, going back to the race in Maryland, do you know who the Republican candidate is? A former CIA agent

Sam Faddis

Meaning, if Manning gets elected in the primaries, she would be up against a CIA agent. So Manning would probably have the upper hand rofl
