that's why AZ and NV are so big

How's everyone today

if we hold them, we don't need to make them up elsewhere

i'm actually pretty bullish on AZ

for some reason there has been zero NV polling in a while though

@shrub doing very well

Have been knocking on doors nearly all day for DeSantis and it is very refreshing to be talking to people about politics out in the field for a change instead of the internet

how does the ground situation look?

Looking good. Usually go in areas that would already vote for him, getting that turnout up big time

is the campaign pressing the issue on gillum re:taxes

@FLanon tell us what it's like knocking for deSantis. I'd imagine the discourse is very different in real life down there in FL

Boomers and other senior citizens really like me as it turns out

compared to...this server

yeah, I'm not surprised

you fit the responsible intelligent young man image that they'd want their kids to have

Well it's usually "can't vote for a socialist" and all, you mention venezuela and cuba a couple times, then they say they'll definitely vote in November

I'm 18, so this will be my first year voting

nice

Also mentioning Gillum's FBI situation, the fact that he advocated for a corporate tax hike and called it a corporate tax cut, then abolish ICE

There's a ton to pick apart when it comes to Gillum

i was such a cuck when i was 18. registered on my birthday to vote for kerry in 04 a couple weeks later. regret it

what's interesting is, back then being liberal was the countercultural position. that's flipped now

@thr33 you're 32 I'm guessing?

31

turn 32 in late oct

"what's interesting is, back then being liberal was the countercultural position. that's flipped now"

yep, I've met a lot of people like you here in NYC

who mentioned how they were comfortable with the left back then

but not now

i grew up in a generally conservative area a little upstate. then went to college in CA, and it really made me rethink things

i still voted for obama in 08, but became a skeptic in the liberal worldview before 2012

probably around 2010 i think

@thr33 I've never been a liberal

i'm an independent still, but i can't see myself voting for another dem. they're so bad on immigration now

I've only become more radical

i'm more moderate on econ (skeptical of the welfare state/high taxes, but not 100% for the free market/trade; i think govt intervention is ok), but i think a lot of liberal positions across the board don't stand up to scrutiny

it's absolutely insane watching these scotus confirmation hearings

Went from religious conservative when I was a kid to centrist to libertarian to classical liberal to alt-right to paleocon to theocrat

Economics to me is whatever helps the nation, that's all there is too it. Pragmatic outlook on it

So in essence, I did a bit of a loop

You do know "alt-right" was a fed-media psy-op meant to demoralize people?

it was a different time
