can't tell if you're being serious or not, Culberson isn't unpopular and served in the district for quite some time now

But again, I follow the Senate more than the House so

Depends who the D is in the district.

lmao you guys are acting like Im some kind of a special person and can't hear you guys. "He can be persuaded" "He can become one of us"

How is it a battleground district? Most of the people in the district are rich urbanites living in the River Oaks areas. Most of them are apathetic or vote Republican

I see. But there are special districts where Trump won by a huge margin and the Dems won this year

Also according to ballotpedia it's not even considered a battleground

endgame lmao

globalism and open borders and mutliculturalism obviously

nah

^

Really its just what progressives want. No more wars abroad, stronger economy, healthy society where people actually have access to free college, medicare, etc.

lmao a police state is the last thing I want or any progressive wants for that matter

How is free college, expanded medicaid, better infrastructure, etc. going to make society poorer?

>inb4 tax money

fine. how is free college and expanded medicare going to make society poorer?

I knew you would say that

Believe it or not, tax dollars aren't used for government expenditures, especially for the United States since we are monetary sovereign

Taxes are used for other reasons such as regulating aggregate demand, but not for investing in public goods and services

We can essentially have "free college" since the federal government is going to check the college, and that money will be used to invest in the college infrastructure, college professors, etc. etc.

But our politicians keep on peddling the neoliberal bullshit that we are somehow limited on the amount of money we can have and we will somehow go bankrupt even though that hasn't been the case ever since we got off the gold standard.

Also, I never understood why conservatives aren't behind free college. The reason why most millenials have to delay major life decisions like getting married, buying a house, starting a nuclear family, etc. is because of the private debt they have to pay back from college, even those who are in STEM and business majors

You're right, but these are for people who actually worked their ass off to get into the college they want, only to either not go to college or have to go to a shittier one because they can't pay off the massive tuition fee that comes with it.

I'm for more opportunities when it comes to trade school though

k

rude

I don't know any on here lmao. I legitimately am just by myself

I barely use discord

But probably am start going to use it more often during the summer and midterm season

Realistically, I see O'Rourke losing

The anti-gun talk and pro-choice, as politically incorrect it is in Texas, is a huge turnoff

End the drug war if you want less Mexicans in Texas

Most of them are probably fleeing because Mexico is absolute shit anyway

Decriminalizing drug usage would be a good start if only the Texas legislators got off their high horse

Goldwater Conservatives are the worst

anyways im tired. I'll see you guys later

I think Dems will lose the Senate but win the house

There's too many vulnerable Dems in Red States and Trump's favorability ratings are going up

How vulnerable do you guys think the Red State Dem Senators are against the Repubs this season

I don't see West Virginia losing. Manchin is pretty popular there, and he won the senate race with 60% of the vote.

Florida is going to be highly contested, so I honestly consider that a tossup

Actually, I think Nevada will still be going to the Republicans, its just that Dean Heller won't be the Senator

Who, Nelson?

Danny Tarkanian seems to resonate more with the Republicans than Heller is

Oh shit you're right. Forgot about that lol

Yeah Heller is going to lose

What are the demographics for NV

kek ok

I mean, Ending the Drug War, Decriminalizing all of the drugs and prohibiting criminalization of non-offensive drug users is a start

And will probaby prevent more Latinos from fleeing to the US

Aren't they fleeing, not coming to the US

Oh I know, I'm just stating how if you don't like an increasing latino population its good to see the root problem

Honestly, I don't care

Also, where did you get that whites are now a minority in Nevada. Last time I checked Whites are up at around 65-70% in Nevada

If I'm looking at it correctly it says 75.1% white

oh, not hispanic or latino

Well Whites are still the leading race in Nevada by 20 percentage points

kek

>being fiscally conservative in 2018

topkek

fiscal conservatism is retarded tho

@[Lex]#1093 what's wrong with being a minority?

Well you never specified if you meant government fiscal conservatism or just saving more than spending like you do in a household so

lmao both? There's the problem; the government is not a household

No they don't; The money comes from crediting bank accounts through either keystrokes or less often by printing money. The government has to spend its money first before it can tax

@Paladin So I say again, fiscal conservatism is retarded; it's based on naive austerity economics and goldbugs with libertarian delusions

Ted Cruz is big gay

But he's still going to be elected into the Senate unfortunately

You spelled Bernie Sanders wrong

oof

same

There are still Southern and Red State Democrats who are moderate on the immigration issue

Tbh, I would prefer the Republicans beat out those red state Democrats. Doesn't make a huge difference anyway

With a name like that, he's probably a Republican

Poe's Law

Rick Saccone BTFO'd again

And it looks like progressives are taking back the House in Pennsylvania

So I think Ohio and Pennsylvania will be blue while Nebraska and Idaho will stay red

oof

polls put McCaskill up ahead of her primary challenger, whoever that is

You think Nevada and Missouri will flip?

Increased Government Spending + Low Progressive Tax = Profit

Low individual taxes

Chuck Grassley brings shame to the people of Iowa.

His name has GRASS but he is against legalizing marijuana

His name also has ASS in it but he doesn't support same-sex marriage

You are a hateful person full of misandry. How dare you impose your standards of whether or not a person has ass on an 84 year old man

Anyways, I think Chuck should be up in front a firing squad for not promoting weed and gay sex to the people of Iowa

Like his name says he would do

for Claire McCaskill to win?

Predictions

Flips from Red to Blue - Nevada, Arizona, Tennessee

Flips from Blue to Red - North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, maybe Montana

Senate Seat - 48-52, with the possibility of very conservative senators taking senate seats

I mean, both West Virginia and Florida are tossups, but I think both Manchin and Nelson are well respected within their state so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt

@Deleted User late, but why will Montana stay blue? Is Jon Tester popular or does the GOP not have a formidable opposition
