a lot of organization through websites like the Daily Kos

2018-01-17 16:13:46 UTC  

put up fliers, etc.

2018-01-17 16:13:49 UTC  

GOTV efforts

2018-01-17 16:13:53 UTC  

oh yeah

2018-01-17 16:13:56 UTC  

yes, exactly

2018-01-17 16:13:59 UTC  

I'm not sure what the hell the GOP is doing

2018-01-17 16:14:06 UTC  

they should be aware of this

2018-01-17 16:14:13 UTC  

they already gave up

2018-01-17 16:14:19 UTC  

wtf

2018-01-17 16:14:31 UTC  

honestly one of the best things we can do is spread this information to every right leaning person we can find

2018-01-17 16:14:44 UTC  

as proof that they still need to vote for these elections

2018-01-17 16:16:59 UTC  

oh yeah

2018-01-17 16:17:12 UTC  

so here's something major we're going to have to push in the general

2018-01-17 16:17:39 UTC  

having everyone who browses the thread on /pol/ to make a list of all the people they know in real life willing to vote for GOP candidates

2018-01-17 16:17:40 UTC  

@Red Storm (in NYC) visit your local RNC office and ask them how you can help

2018-01-17 16:17:49 UTC  

and to PM them about it

2018-01-17 16:20:37 UTC  

btw, don't get anxious about this. The GOP won every other race yesterday, 6 to 1

2018-01-17 16:21:35 UTC  

can we get a spreadsheet or list over the results of every race yesterday?

2018-01-17 16:23:35 UTC  

on it fam

2018-01-17 16:26:29 UTC  

wow so this really was a republican victory, albeit not the victory we wanted

2018-01-17 16:26:38 UTC  

that was a lose we could afford

2018-01-17 16:27:45 UTC  

reality is if we lost every seat this year that is up for grabs (which wont happen since we've won these) the conservatives wont be at that much of a disadvantage.

2018-01-17 16:27:54 UTC  

or at least not what the liberals think

2018-01-17 16:30:31 UTC  

yeah, I'm not impressed by the Democrats' performances

2018-01-17 16:30:51 UTC  

all that money and turnout from pissed off spergs, only to lose all these races

2018-01-17 16:31:10 UTC  

only winning because Republican's aren't putting up a fight

2018-01-17 16:31:20 UTC  

picture what happens when the GOP actually does put up a fight

2018-01-17 16:32:20 UTC  

tbh can't wait for the Massachusetts elections

2018-01-17 16:33:22 UTC  

we got our Governor, both state reps, our attorney general, and nearly all our local positions up for grabs

2018-01-17 16:33:54 UTC  

Baker (sitting Gov. (R)) seems to be in the clear, liked by everyone (in the state)

2018-01-17 16:34:36 UTC  

Warren as I have said before is either loved or loathed and has some tough competition

2018-01-17 16:34:53 UTC  

and hopefully our AG dies from aids or some shit

2018-01-17 16:35:02 UTC  

seriously fuck O'Healy

2018-01-17 16:36:18 UTC  

WAIT WHAT

2018-01-17 16:37:38 UTC  

wut?

2018-01-17 16:39:55 UTC  

where's that from

I've created a dynamic swing calculator in excel (basically accounts for the fact that it's harder for already very dem-leaning seats to swing the same amount as Republican seats)

The FiveThirtyEight poll aggregate currently has things as D+7.9, I accounting for the fact that there has been an average error of 2 points from the early ballot averages, and a theoretical error of 5 points, here are the following scenarios:


D+2.9: R 236; D 199
D+5.9: R 231; D 204
D+7.9: R 225 ; D 210
D+9.9: R 218; D 217
D+12.9: R 196; D 239

Dems need to clear the double digits in the generic ballot before the GOP gerrymander really starts to break down

With dynamic swing, Dem's take control at D+10.3; with universal swing it takes D+13.9.

Currently haven't factored in incumbency, but that probably makes things a little easier for the Democrats to take over given House retirements.

hmm
