be back in a while, I'll have more data when I return
and about how "deep red Alabama turning blue means the other deep red areas can go blue, like Mississippi"
As a leftist, I know it's not true. Ted Cruz isn't as hated by Texas as Roy Moore was in Alabama
I think they're butthurt after a year of constant defeat, so they're clinging desperately to their victory in Alabama in December
what kind of leftist are you btw
I mean, two of the governorships went towards Democrats this year (although they are neoliberal corporatists)
Just a regular progressive
'regular progressive' in 2018 is different from 'regular progressive' in 2013...a lot has changed since then
I'm both fiscally and socially liberal.
fiscal as in Keynesian? or social democrat?
Not a Keynesian.
as long as you aren't pro Warren you may very well be safe here
Didn't Warren vote for like 80 million dollars in aid towards some War?
wouldn't surprise me
also never paid car taxes
ever
and never sent voluntary aid to schools even though she claimed she always had
can someone bump the thread
thanks
But I wouldn't trust the media on whether or not hter will be a blue or red sweep. CNN, Fox, MSMBC are all biased in their own ways
yeah, also it's January
a lot can change between now and November
I would be willing to think there's a Blue Wave if the economy tanks
And most of them dont report on the grassroots campaign (Progressives and Social Democrats from CNN and MSNBC/Austrians and Libertarians from Fox)
if the economy is doing even better, I think the GOP can get a net-gain even in the House
yeah, that's the thing
they're touting it on a national level
Polls are retarded, but most people look at the polls and no the candidate's voting history anyways so thats what the media goes for
Democrats having "48.8" to GOP's "36.7" doesn't mean shit because
1. It's national level, not district by district
2. It's fucking January, not November
3. How are they sampled?
4. How do they know who's voting
The only people participating in the polls are likely subscribers or some shit
thye are almost always liberal
But yeah, Indiana looks like its going red definitely, Florida and North Dakota are probably going to go red, and IDK about the rest of the states (in terms of the Senate)
Massachusetts is fucking weird
returned
okay, catch me up to speed
jackborne what part of Mass are you from
the Cape
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 we're just talking about national polls
