everything I wrote up last night on the Issues

hmm, one important section that should be in every general thread is a todo-list section that any anon can work on

Yes, and info about signing up/registering to vote. I know this from personal fuckups in the past.

hmm, we also should come up with a section on why people on /pol/ should care about this, like the following draft I' just came up with.


>REMINDER that most political power in the USA isn't in the Presidency, it's in the Congress. In many ways, this can be even more impactful than Trump becoming President

>REMINDER that a Democrat congress can fuck up everything we've achieved in 2016, and they definitely will try their best to. You can bet that they will seriously try impeachment.

>REMINDER that Trump's victory is a once in a lifetime opportunity. If we fuck up now, we may NEVER get another man like him in government in our lifetime

Emphasizing that first point is key

Trump's agenda can't become a reality with a Blue congress

With a Democrat majority in the house and senate it's more likely they can impeach

oh, and let's work on the megaupload link tonight

there shouldn't be too much folders in it

let's not make it a headache to navigate

any ideas on how to structure it?

I'm thinking the first overarching folder should be "2018 Midterms"

then split it into "Congressional" (all memes/info related to congressional races) and "Gubernatorial" (all memes/info related to governor races) and "Democrat" (all memes and info related to the Democratic Party in general) and "Republican" (all memes and info related to the Republican Party)

2018 midterms -> folder for each state -> Congresseional/Gub

and split the Congressional folder into "Senate" and "House"

hmm

sure

I also think we should include general folders for the Democrats and Republicans

I'm not sure what the statistics are, but many people just vote for the person with the preferred letter next to their name without doing much research on the candidates themselves

in a way, it's not just candidate vs candidate (though the qualities of the candidate definitely matter for many voters), it's party vs party

the Democrats have a well-oiled machine when it comes to getting out the vote

they have buses and cars that take voters from low income minority areas to the polls

they probably guide them in filling out everything in the voting process

in the Alabama election, 92% of of Hillary voters turned out for Jones, while less than 50% of Trump voters turned out for Moore

if the Democrats didn't have such an efficient GOTV system, they probably wouldn't have won in Alabama

Yeah, especially now more than ever regarding the party v party

what's interesting is that you can view the numbers as pretty consistent. The amount of people who voted for Hillary compared with the amount of people who voted for Jones is pretty close. Maybe you can treat that as some sort of constant?

in comparison, 71% of Hillary's voter amount went to Ralph Northam (in Virginia)

only 66% of Trump's voter amount went to Gillespie. Seems pretty similar. I think a lot of NoVa (well-to-do white and asian) liberal voters don't need GOTV efforts to vote

Long high level overview of MI US House of Rep elections.
