Pay them no mind, we need to figure out the next special election
I wish I could just drive in my car all over the place and just be a professional campaigner
It's something to do
Only so much you can really do over the internet
I'm not even sure how we can influence special elections for the state legislature through the Internet
We can't
which is what @🎃Boo-ton🎃 has been trying to do
posting about it on /pol/ where ptg only has 150 posters per thread isn't going to do much
Unless we get extremely lucky and happen to get a madman on the discord near X district that'd be willing to do a mass poster campaign
150 posters spread across a country of 330 million means that there's a good chance no one reading it even lives in the area
yeah, that's true
come to think about it, I guess that's how you influence them
just get 1 guy to do a mass poster campaign or something along those lines
while it's hard to influence those races through the internet, it's MUCH easier to influence them in real life
I think we'll be limited to the US races in influence, and hopefully the Red Storm brand will be useful, we can shop some infographics and put a logo on it
As long as Discord doesn't fuck us we'll be good
1 dedicated guy can swing a local special election by putting up a bunch of posters, autistically devoting himself to getting as many people in his social circle out to the polls...that kind of thing
I wish I could do that, but life calls, y'know
yeah...I think this Discord and /rsg/ is best used for the production of infographics, copypastas, memes, etc
and spamming them across the Internet so 1 person can reach millions
we're like Special Forces
We could put the spherical logo on the top right corner or something, maybe not the discord link
GOP and Trump will be the main standing army
Ever since IOTBW I've been thinking that's our big mode of activism
@FLanon good point
one anon putting up a bunch of posters can do quite a bit
With all the twitter shutdowns and everything and the doxxes, the internet's getting kinda risky to do activism on
of course....I'd be cautious, because that can backfire
I'm not afraid of getting doxxed tbh
no one I know in real life would care
But all it takes is one lone guy to put up a poster somewhere on a university or anything like that
It'll get seen
it depends though
You can only tear it down, no silent shadowbans in real life
Of course not
I don't want this place going down any more than you do
"I live in 23b, there wasn’t a lot of talk about the election to begin with honestly. Only talk came from Munson(R) who staged a fairly massive campaign to get the seat, radio, huge signs at important businesses, the like. Many large conservative contributors also discouraged voting for Melissa(D) through an equally large mail and tv campaign. For the amount of money that was spent in this relatively small election in opposition to her, Melissa did fairly well."
this is from some guy in /r/BlueMidterm2018
now...it sound like he/she is trying to tell themself that it's still a good sign
IMO what I gleam from it is that Munson (R) properly campaigned like Trump, and got a closer performance to Trump's result, whereas other local Republican candidates sat on their asses, which leads to Democrats "overperforming"
Any red storm will have to come with effort
