then came the Virginia race, but I don't count that because that's a lean blue state, though it was winnable

then came the Alabama upset, which is the only real victory they had in 2017

I count it

When it happened I still had purple in my mind

Well, in any case, the curse is broken, @🎃Boo-ton🎃 update that infographic with the swings

@FLanon @🎃Boo-ton🎃 https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueMidterm2018/comments/7x5132/feb_12th_2018_minnesota_state_senate_54_and_house/

look at these fags

"I never thought I'd be as excited about these random house and senate races hundreds of miles away from where I live as I have been this past year. Now I really look forward to following them."

though to be fair, we're on the same side of the coin, though I like to think we aren't crybabies about it

We've got something to lose

"Eek, let's hope things turn around in HD23B. Not like we are going to win it but an under performance would be disappointing."

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

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

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
