not averaging all elections together

2018-02-14 00:53:03 UTC  

Makes sense, it creates a trend

2018-02-14 00:53:09 UTC  

right

2018-02-14 00:53:19 UTC  

local elections don't predict federal elections,

2018-02-14 00:53:20 UTC  

but,

2018-02-14 00:53:26 UTC  

they do represent trend

2018-02-14 00:53:54 UTC  

They do predict whether one side is getting more popular or gaining traction

2018-02-14 00:54:41 UTC  

right

2018-02-14 00:55:04 UTC  

Now, if I were in control of some huge network of GOP voters and I could organize people to rush to X district when an election is coming, then we'd be able to do something about it

2018-02-14 00:55:29 UTC  

As it happens, that's not our reality, so we've got to take it as it comes and focus on the bigger picture

2018-02-14 00:55:41 UTC  

We still should have the data on state elections though

2018-02-14 00:55:55 UTC  

sadly we don't seem to have right wing online organization like what you see on r*ddit

2018-02-14 00:56:29 UTC  

Yeah, unfortunately we can't send people to knock doors or poster campaign to every election area coming up

2018-02-14 00:56:31 UTC  

/r/BlueMidterm2018 has enough subscribers to the point where for each special election for state legislatures, there's at least one user saying "I live in this district and blahblahblah"

2018-02-14 00:58:00 UTC  

Hopefully someday we get that kind of traction and are able to maintain it, but as it stands we can't get knocked off our feet by this kind of stuff

2018-02-14 00:59:10 UTC  

for years, the left has been much more active online than the right

2018-02-14 00:59:25 UTC  

Today I feel like we've got some good info, the idea that Trump is at positive favorability here is amazing, Scott gaining ground and Nelson losing it

2018-02-14 01:00:19 UTC  

@Red Storm (in NYC) yeah and they've capitalized by monopolizing it ideologically

2018-02-14 01:00:32 UTC  

that has been changing with the rise of the 'alt-right' and Gen Z and people getting disenfranchised with the left

2018-02-14 01:00:32 UTC  

but it's still the case that the right mostly consists of people who get their news from Fox and talk radio

2018-02-14 01:01:35 UTC  

Wherever the wind blows, I'll go, but as for right now, let's keep the focus on the national elections, and updating the maga db some more.

2018-02-14 01:02:20 UTC  

Not sure how far @A虁虛虈虉虘挞抬獭胎虧汰yeExEye通同碳虡滩 is with the site, but we'll see what we can do when all of our stuff is built

2018-02-14 01:07:44 UTC  

yeah, we really, really really need to get that Wordpress blog up and running

2018-02-14 01:07:47 UTC  

that's the next big step

2018-02-14 01:08:06 UTC  

I've noticed that people have been bringing up "red storm" in other threads on /pol/

2018-02-14 01:08:19 UTC  

so we've already left our mark on /pol/

2018-02-14 01:09:17 UTC  

remember: even if the /rsg/ threads aren't getting many replies at the moment, people are still looking at them and the red storm oriented posts in /ptg/, which makes the idea of a 'red storm' stew in their minds and also makes them think about the midterms more often

Good won more precincts in the district than any Dem in recent memory

2018-02-14 01:26:50 UTC  

Was this a state thing or comgressinal seat?

2018-02-14 01:27:27 UTC  

Dems are getting good turnout, a lot of it seems to be complete BS tho, like with AL. 92% of presidential turnout, and 100% of Obama levels for blacks.

Want to get a thread going guys?

i can make it

2018-02-14 01:51:38 UTC  

little late it seems

2018-02-14 01:52:39 UTC  

i have a suggestion,

2018-02-14 01:52:47 UTC  

every time there is a special election,

2018-02-14 01:52:55 UTC  

we center a thread around it

2018-02-14 01:53:32 UTC  

post maps, candidate info, instructions how to register, etc.

2018-02-14 01:57:15 UTC  

As in like an "/rsg/ x district election edition" format?
