@Red Storm (in NYC) To answer your question, I'm from Iowa

What's the twiter?

I'm starting to help with Rod Blum's campaign Iowa District 1. Every little bit helps honestly. A huge help is that the Democratic Party is I believe roughly $32 Million in debt.

Here's hopes they do go bankrupt.

Anyone from the state with the 2nd best soil in the world?

There was a Walkout in Iowa City. I was there as a bystander and the speakers didn't have a cohesive message and were extremely uninformed.

Uninformed, angry high school students attributing blame to lightning-rods such as the NRA and legislators.

I could tell many were there because they wanted to get out

I heard one say to his friend, "Hey, when are we getting lunch?"

While the speakers were screaming

glass of

I like Grassley, I think he's actually somewhat genuine. I don't mind Reynolds as governor. Not the biggest fan of her.

For those of you in or near Iowa city

It's postponed to next thursday

<@&414479574835920907>

It's going on this Thursday

This whole thing is a sham and I'm absolutely disgusted at it

What has everyone been hearing about in regards to district 2? Does it sound good for Peters? I've convinced a few people to vote for him

Elon Musk

Golden Graham

Sounded more like Norwegian

2019*

Just sleep

Gimme my extra hour in the fall

Kicked out of the "palestinian" territories

The Mandala. They talk about Esoteric stuff for the first hour and then politics for the 2nd hour roughly

The Mandala is on youtube, and it's a podcast

There's the first episode

He literally only won dallas so far which is A. Heavily Populated and B. Heavily Blue

Equality

Yeah, it's getting more and more Red. The points on the live Senate map keep ticking down for O'rourke

Dallas has lots of blue

Cruz is in the positive

Ron Desantis is 50-48% to Andrew Gillum

Hm

Probably a few in Texas and Cali

FiveThirtyEight says 45% chance Republicans keep House-current forecast

Go ronny

Ree polls in iowa end in an hour

7 am to 9pm

that's crazy, when did they start

I've got 4/9 chance republicans keep the house

from FiveThirtyEIght

reeeee projected .5% of winning IA District 2

3/10 chance Republicans keep house

Iowa District 2 could be Rep

GOP 125-DEM 107 according to NY times

128 GOP

112 DEM

We lost 12 seats already though

135 GOP

126 DEM

Andrew Gillum officially conceded to Ron Desantis

141 GOP

132 DEM

142-132

Reminder that most of the Rep seats picked up by Dems were taken by Military vets which usually denotes more moderate views

So we might be able to get some bipartisan votes on some topics if we lose the house

And the dems who were further liberal pretty much lost, and the moderate dems pretty much won

This is at least better for the country since the Extreme left seems to have been rejected for the most part

We already have 50 in the senate now. We can only go up from here

NyTImes:

GOP 155

DEM 153

So not quite a blue wave it seems

Or, not as much as we thought it would be

Judges can still be confirmed. Another supreme court justice might still be able to be confirmed if ginsberg passes

Through the senate*

I think it's fine that we lost the house. We weren't really passing anything besides Tax cuts. We would have gotten more tax cuts but it's not the end of the world.

Stereotype Threat or Race Threat is a real thing. Studies show that when blacks are with whites taking tests, blacks do worse due to perceived inferiority, and whites perform poorer when in the same room as Asians due to perceived inferiority

Wouldn't there still be a black market? Because regulation would control access and cost and cost generally increases the more something is regulated

Do we want more poor people and corruption, then yes. Annex mexico

just make a nice living space in mexico and push them into central america, of course

We would have to work with the Mexican Government which essentially require the cartels to stay in existence unless we actually did annex mexico

Yes, but it won't get past the senate

Republicans can still appoint judges and if Ginsberg passes, we may get another judge on the court.

Jeb!

Speeding aka wasting gas but it's okay because you live within 6 hours of most of europe

okay, this is epic

Did Draco make the point that free market=no taxes?

lol Free Market doesn't have to be laissez faire

I read it as "who doesn't care" at first

We should focus on Conservation, not environmentalism. But innovation that reduces pollution would be better for western nations than trade caps.

That seems to be some mental gymnastics to call it a concession

Alright

Is keynesianism left wing?

I didn't think so

Why do you say it's left wing, @Draco ?

Could you briefly lay out your points for me?

Was this economic debate today?

And was it in serious?

I looked at it all but couldn't quite find Draco's explanation as to how Keynesianism is left wing

Wie?

It's mainly about getting out of a recession. I think that a balance of stimulus and austerity would work the best. Lots of governments either go full cut or full stimulus during recessions it seems.

Yes

It's not left wing, and I disagree with the government only putting money into the economy. I'd like the government to not be too much more in debt with a huge stimulus package-which is why I like a balance because at least some of the money is coming from another area of the government that would have been spent on something else.

National Socialism
