Hoosier Bro?

So what's your main motivation

hey

are you HoosierBro

ah

True

@MAGAnon did it make you admin

It's my first time actually navigating discord

OK

that's fine

let's come up with a new version for the copypasta for the general thread

here's what I have so far

The left has been salivating to take back congress in a “Blue Wave” ever since their stunning defeat in 2016. We are going to make sure that it results in a Red Storm where they lose even more seats in the House and Senate.

The left has clung to the idea of a “Blue Wave" in order to give themselves hope - hope that they can bring more radicalized refugees to the United States so that we may suffer what Europe is going through, hope for an even greater souring of race relations so that even more neighborhoods are looted and burned to the ground, hope for more power for feminists to ruin your careers and industries and livelihoods, hope for more political correctness to strangle our freedom of speech, hope for more power to the establishment media to attack us for thoughtcrime, hope that they can take down President Trump - who is our hope at reversing the damage they've done over the past few decades. We are going to make their Blue Wave falter in the midst of a Red Storm.

actually, change the "Sea of Red General" part to "Red Storm General"

actually, I have most things saved here

also, here's everything i have so far on the Democrat candidates

(everything I wrote up last night before bed)

nice

definitely

everything I wrote up last night on the Issues

hmm, one important section that should be in every general thread is a todo-list section that any anon can work on

hmm, we also should come up with a section on why people on /pol/ should care about this, like the following draft I' just came up with.


>REMINDER that most political power in the USA isn't in the Presidency, it's in the Congress. In many ways, this can be even more impactful than Trump becoming President

>REMINDER that a Democrat congress can fuck up everything we've achieved in 2016, and they definitely will try their best to. You can bet that they will seriously try impeachment.

>REMINDER that Trump's victory is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If we fuck up now, we may NEVER get another man like him in government in our lifetime

oh, and let's work on the megaupload link tonight

there shouldn't be too much folders in it

let's not make it a headache to navigate

any ideas on how to structure it?

I'm thinking the first overarching folder should be "2018 Midterms"

then split it into "Congressional" (all memes/info related to congressional races) and "Gubernatorial" (all memes/info related to governor races) and "Democrat" (all memes and info related to the Democratic Party in general) and "Republican" (all memes and info related to the Republican Party)

and split the Congressional folder into "Senate" and "House"

hmm

sure

I also think we should include general folders for the Democrats and Republicans

I'm not sure what the statistics are, but many people just vote for the person with the preferred letter next to their name without doing much research on the candidates themselves

in a way, it's not just candidate vs candidate (though the qualities of the candidate definitely matter for many voters), it's party vs party

the Democrats have a well-oiled machine when it comes to getting out the vote

they have buses and cars that take voters from low income minority areas to the polls

they probably guide them in filling out everything in the voting process

in the Alabama election, 92% of of Hillary voters turned out for Jones, while less than 50% of Trump voters turned out for Moore

if the Democrats didn't have such an efficient GOTV system, they probably wouldn't have won in Alabama

what's interesting is that you can view the numbers as pretty consistent. The amount of people who voted for Hillary compared with the amount of people who voted for Jones is pretty close. Maybe you can treat that as some sort of constant?

in comparison, 71% of Hillary's voter amount went to Ralph Northam (in Virginia)

only 66% of Trump's voter amount went to Gillespie. Seems pretty similar. I think a lot of NoVa (well-to-do white and asian) liberal voters don't need GOTV efforts to vote

what kinds of files are they

I can't open them properly

hello

November 6, 2018

primaries earlier

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

what's your state

make sure you vote Bill Nelson out this November 6

I used to live in Orlando

what part are you from

https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

your house race might be tougher, but ousting Nelson is definitely doable

hell yeah

you're going to include a link to this discord in every general, then ?

how popular is Joe Donnelly over there in Indiana

just wondering

I live in NYC. Gillibrand seems unbeatable right now

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_New_York,_2016

Schumer got 70.6% in 2016

what's funny is that he got 1 million more votes than Hillary did

it makes me wonder if there were any who voted for Schumer and for Trump

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election_in_New_York,_2016

only 2 million people voted for the Republican senate candidate, while 2.8 million voted for Trump

makes sense

yeah

my congressman used to be Anthony Weiner

I'm a former leftist

I was a fan of Weiner back in the day

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Meng

my current congressman is this Asian lady

I became libertarian-ish with leftist sympathies in 2012 because Obama was a disappointment and the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality appealed to me more than the "whine for more gibs" mentality

then the rise of cancerous SJW/feminist bullshit in 2014/2015 and Obama's support of it, made me say sayonora to the left for good

a lot of people here in NYC vote Democratic because they're minorities whose families raise them that way, and a lot of them actually don't even hate Trump

the only ones who stir up a lot of shit about him are white shitlibs and blacks with anger issues and young hispanics who prefer saying 'Latinx' instead of Latino

I live near Trump's childhood home

I went here this past summer and took a pic

it's a quaint little neighborhood in the far eastern side of Queens

it looks like any other American suburb, except that the most powerful man in the world used to grow up there

(assuming you consider Trump the most powerful and not some Rothschild)

oh yeah, we should include (Pedophilia / Child Abusers) in the 'issues' section

if you tie the Democratic party to child abuse, they're fucked

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if there are more child abusers in government than in the Catholic church

after all, the government is more powerful than the church at this point

it makes sense that it's smarter for a child abuser to be in government

technically every state is up, because House races are every 2 years

@TrippyTurtle what nation are you playing in HOI4?

@MAGAnon include that part about the NRCC and list of Democrat candidates to take down

The NRCC released its initial list of targeted Democratic incumbents on February 8, 2017.

If we take all 36 seats and retain all our own, we will have a total of 277 seats to 158 Democrat seats, which will enable us to pass pretty much all of President Trump’s agenda if the Senate races go well too.
