so the GOP did manage to win in District 144 ?
>another 1/5 turnout race
how the fuck do we improve this
an app for Republicans to know when to go to the polls, perhaps?
Tbh I think turnout will be much better when it's an actual midterm
And not a special election
Like when I went to the polls for Louisiana State Treasurer, I asked the poll lady how turnout is as I usually do
And she said I was like the twentieth person to vote.
The fact was that if I weren't like, an ultra-devotee, the kind of guy who wants to do absolutely anything I can to support Trump and the Republican Party right now...
I wouldn't have actually known or cared to vote. In a state where state elections are usually lateterm (2019), why would you think to go to the polls in 2017?
Plus if your public notice system isn't very good there's a very high chance you don't know about the election
So I think a lot of these really small, state-district etc. special elections just might not have enough awareness that they exist to actually be useful.
Like I'm saying, poster campagins are a good way of alleviating this.
This used an old poll and things have actually improved a lot for Republocnas since then
Basically all of the Democrats leads come from Blue Districts
Democrats have these advantage: they are all in cities, all have internet
We should make propaganda leaflets and print a couple dozen per sheet and cut them out and distribute them
Maybe dump them out at universities from drones
neeto idea

@jackborne1893 thx
@Nuke an app can help but I'm not sure how many GOP boomer voters and older it would reach
You guys in college?
I think the GOP doesn't fund their candidates in these special election races because they already hold large majorities in the legislatures
the only thing that does concerns me about Democrat improvement in these special elections is that it can function as a motivator for them to turn out in November for the big day
because if they just kept losing miserably instead, they would continue to be massively demoralized, which would drive turnout down
We should look into how we can inform boomers
And we should target the black demographic really hard
Boomers: Fox News, Talk Radio, and Facebook
Blacks: the blacks who vote right wing are the types who see themselves as "red pilled"
that is, they see themselves as special compared to their peers
Lol they are the ones who are two standard deviations above average IQ
you have to target that feeling of superiority
and remind them that voting Democrat will give them the same shitty life they've been having for decades
Voting Dem helped them under clinton
We need to push civic nationalism with the boomers
Haha the Dems are gonna feel like idiots when the Dow ends up surpassing it's previous high before the third week of February
indeed
