Pay them no mind, we need to figure out the next special election

2018-02-13 03:09:04 UTC  

I wish I could just drive in my car all over the place and just be a professional campaigner

2018-02-13 03:09:24 UTC  

It's something to do

2018-02-13 03:09:43 UTC  

Only so much you can really do over the internet

2018-02-13 03:10:15 UTC  

I'm not even sure how we can influence special elections for the state legislature through the Internet

2018-02-13 03:10:30 UTC  

We can't

2018-02-13 03:10:33 UTC  

which is what @🎃Boo-ton🎃 has been trying to do

2018-02-13 03:10:56 UTC  

posting about it on /pol/ where ptg only has 150 posters per thread isn't going to do much

2018-02-13 03:11:01 UTC  

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

2018-02-13 03:11:20 UTC  

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

2018-02-13 03:11:22 UTC  

yeah, that's true

2018-02-13 03:11:30 UTC  

come to think about it, I guess that's how you influence them

2018-02-13 03:11:40 UTC  

just get 1 guy to do a mass poster campaign or something along those lines

2018-02-13 03:12:02 UTC  

while it's hard to influence those races through the internet, it's MUCH easier to influence them in real life

2018-02-13 03:12:24 UTC  

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

2018-02-13 03:12:34 UTC  

As long as Discord doesn't fuck us we'll be good

2018-02-13 03:12:36 UTC  

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

2018-02-13 03:12:54 UTC  

I wish I could do that, but life calls, y'know

2018-02-13 03:13:00 UTC  

yeah...I think this Discord and /rsg/ is best used for the production of infographics, copypastas, memes, etc

2018-02-13 03:13:14 UTC  

and spamming them across the Internet so 1 person can reach millions

2018-02-13 03:13:31 UTC  

actual, on the ground activism won't be our forte

2018-02-13 03:13:36 UTC  

we're like Special Forces

2018-02-13 03:13:43 UTC  

We could put the spherical logo on the top right corner or something, maybe not the discord link

2018-02-13 03:13:49 UTC  

GOP and Trump will be the main standing army

2018-02-13 03:14:09 UTC  

Ever since IOTBW I've been thinking that's our big mode of activism

2018-02-13 03:14:38 UTC  

@FLanon good point

2018-02-13 03:14:45 UTC  

one anon putting up a bunch of posters can do quite a bit

2018-02-13 03:14:58 UTC  

With all the twitter shutdowns and everything and the doxxes, the internet's getting kinda risky to do activism on

2018-02-13 03:15:06 UTC  

of course....I'd be cautious, because that can backfire

2018-02-13 03:15:15 UTC  

I'm not afraid of getting doxxed tbh

2018-02-13 03:15:20 UTC  

no one I know in real life would care

2018-02-13 03:15:29 UTC  

But all it takes is one lone guy to put up a poster somewhere on a university or anything like that

2018-02-13 03:15:32 UTC  

It'll get seen

2018-02-13 03:15:46 UTC  

it depends though

2018-02-13 03:15:51 UTC  

You can only tear it down, no silent shadowbans in real life

2018-02-13 03:16:13 UTC  

Of course not

2018-02-13 03:16:23 UTC  

I don't want this place going down any more than you do

2018-02-13 03:44:21 UTC  

"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

2018-02-13 03:44:55 UTC  

now...it sound like he/she is trying to tell themself that it's still a good sign

2018-02-13 03:45:46 UTC  

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"

2018-02-13 03:46:16 UTC  

Any red storm will have to come with effort
