It's actually a big part of why Trudeau was elected: Conservatives were extremely demoralized by being defeated by a landslide in Alberta.

2018-02-03 04:14:12 UTC  

The right-wing party was able to defeat the moderate "Progressive Conservatives," but the right lost over 20 points overall from all of the infighting, leaving them with a feeble simple majority between both parties--and because Canada's electoral system is a two-party-optimized FPTP system like the USA has...that meant the most united party, the New Democrats, won.

2018-02-03 04:15:36 UTC  

The New Democrats won 40% of the Alberta vote too, which gave them a huge amount of momentum until the CBC--Canada's equivalent of PBS or the BBC--actually began encouraging NDP voters to vote Liberal to stop the Tories from being reelected.

2018-02-03 04:16:37 UTC  

if only Canada had a two-party system

2018-02-03 04:16:43 UTC  

I wish the US actually got involved in foreign internal affairs so we could condemn the CBC for that, or do many things really.

2018-02-03 04:17:47 UTC  

And yeah, Alberta's feuding right-wing parties actually merged in 2017 to prevent another election like that.

2018-02-03 04:18:50 UTC  

Alberta 2019 could be a majority vote for the United Conservatives, which might be the first in recent Canadian history.

2018-02-03 04:21:09 UTC  

Ah, nope, Manitoba has a right-wing majority government as it is.

2018-02-03 04:21:55 UTC  

And so does Saskatchewan.

2018-02-03 23:46:34 UTC  

Alright, I think the best say to determine which party's gonna win which state, we'll have to look at Voter proportions

2018-02-03 23:46:56 UTC  

Number of Self Described & Registered Indepnendents, Democrats, Republicans, etc.

2018-02-03 23:47:05 UTC  

So we can determine which states we can win

2018-02-03 23:53:33 UTC  

where can we find that data

2018-02-03 23:55:46 UTC  

here, I guess

2018-02-04 00:00:29 UTC  

I don't think we've gone in depth of party financials yet

2018-02-04 00:27:31 UTC  

DNC has 6.5 million dollars on hand and are 6.1 million dollars in debt

2018-02-04 00:27:57 UTC  

400k away from insolvency

2018-02-04 00:28:17 UTC  

The RNC has 38 million dollars without a single cent of debt

2018-02-04 00:29:16 UTC  

there could be something to this

2018-02-07 18:09:31 UTC  

In a state this purple with the national consensus (even if it is shrinking) still leaning towards the Dems, I think this is a great sign of things to come.

2018-02-07 18:26:41 UTC  

What state are you referring to?

2018-02-07 18:26:49 UTC  

FL

2018-02-07 18:27:34 UTC  

Oh. I thought Florida had been slowly trending Red

2018-02-07 18:27:40 UTC  

it's referring to the senate election we have which most likely will be current Governor Rick Scott and Senator Bill Nelson

2018-02-07 18:27:58 UTC  

It did in 2016, but that's tricky

2018-02-07 18:28:00 UTC  

Florida is the swingiest swing state ever

2018-02-07 18:29:08 UTC  

But I thought in general the trend at the state and other Federal Government level was towards Republican there. It's a very slow but steady trend because Florida is so divided

2018-02-07 18:30:03 UTC  

FL's R at the state legislature level (so far) but extremely swing in Federal politics

2018-02-07 18:30:07 UTC  

Like it will be a Swing State for a long long time but we aren't losing ground there

2018-02-07 18:30:10 UTC  

Blue counties are getting bluer (Miami)

2018-02-07 18:30:39 UTC  

Red counties are getting redder (Pensacola)

2018-02-07 18:30:54 UTC  

it's extremely hard to tell what Florida will do long term

2018-02-07 18:31:09 UTC  

That is happening every where I tjink

2018-02-07 18:31:26 UTC  

People are self spring

2018-02-07 18:31:40 UTC  

we've got to make the best of it, definitely

2018-02-08 04:05:34 UTC  

I made a list displaying the percentage change needed to take each state from democrats(2016 election)

.37 New Hampshire
1.5 Minnesota
2.42 Nevada
2.96 Main
4.9 Colorado
5.32 Virginia
8.22 New Mexico
10.98 Oregon
11.37 Delaware
13.7 Connecticut
14.1 New Jersey

22.49 New York
25.45 Vermont
26.42 Maryland
27.2 Massachusetts
30.11 California
32.19 Hawaii
86.4 Washington D.C.

Let us not flee from leftist degeneracy to red territory, but make uncertain territory our home. So that growing cities do not make the mistakes we see so often in history.
