**AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH**

2018-02-14 00:34:01 UTC  

**_AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH_**

2018-02-14 00:40:14 UTC  

what now

2018-02-14 00:40:42 UTC  

Florida seat flipped

2018-02-14 00:40:52 UTC  

did you vote?

2018-02-14 00:41:06 UTC  

dude what district was it

2018-02-14 00:41:13 UTC  

HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW

2018-02-14 00:41:29 UTC  

Florida-72, House Legislature

2018-02-14 00:41:41 UTC  

I don't think that's near me, lemme check

2018-02-14 00:42:51 UTC  

I don't live in the district

2018-02-14 00:42:57 UTC  

ugh

2018-02-14 00:43:06 UTC  

it's a 5-point shift,

2018-02-14 00:43:12 UTC  

so not _that_ bad, but still

2018-02-14 00:43:16 UTC  

a loss

2018-02-14 00:43:54 UTC  

So was it a swing seat pretty much?

2018-02-14 00:44:04 UTC  

Trump won here with 52% of the vote

2018-02-14 00:44:07 UTC  

sort of

2018-02-14 00:46:40 UTC  

That's swing

2018-02-14 00:47:26 UTC  

rip my optimism

2018-02-14 00:47:37 UTC  

Yeah, state legislature situation's not as good as we need it to be, we're still in the "high and dry" mode down there

2018-02-14 00:47:42 UTC  

my blackpilled-self has returned ๐Ÿ’Š

2018-02-14 00:48:06 UTC  

Besides, +5 is nowhere close the old shit we got, +20, one of them was +50 right?

2018-02-14 00:48:25 UTC  

there's still elections in OK and GA

2018-02-14 00:48:29 UTC  

so let's see

2018-02-14 00:48:42 UTC  

The national GOP is not paying attention at the local level, that's the thing.

2018-02-14 00:49:57 UTC  

The thing is that the GOP is not in full activist/campaigning mode yet, the left is

2018-02-14 00:51:18 UTC  

We've just got to have to make things right at a national level, and then when state legislatures come up, then you'll see straight down the ticket voting

2018-02-14 00:51:41 UTC  

There's two groups paying attention to these elections, us in this discord, and leftists

2018-02-14 00:52:02 UTC  

i've been doing this wrong,

2018-02-14 00:52:37 UTC  

i should be analyzing the local elections by using a line chart to show the swing,

2018-02-14 00:52:48 UTC  

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
