I wasn’t even aware that it could happen.

Pol being down.

Stop clogging this fucking Discord with that dumb blue wave shit

Do your ironic shilling on Facebook where it actually has an effect

This Discord needs moderation and censorship. It's not supposed to be an unregulated zone where exotic forms of autism can flourish

Mfw twitter has invaded

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 I don't think Trump's election should be the template

Kinda retarded to compare presidential elections to a special election lol

If anything compare it to how much that representative won by

The rep before Thai I mean

"Polls close at 10 p.m. Eastern, and first results are expected around 11 p.m. There will be no live forecast tonight. It's not as useful in races, like this one, where most of the vote is cast by mail."

11pm Eastern

8pm Califag time

who is staying up ? <@&432627153805377536> <@&399683356218097667>

debbie vs hiral

jesus christ

that's the best that democracy had to offer in that district

I sadly can't stay for long.

@Sam Southern - TN Hiral has some charisma

and I guess Debbie has that "conservative mom" appeal

anyone who wants a mom running their country is fucking insane.

yeah, but much of the country has poor judgment when it comes to electing politicians

much of the world, rather

hence why restricting the vote is so important.

extend the length of terms, decrease the total number of terms allowed to 2 for all positions. force these idiots to focus on the long term rather than getting elected in two years. restrict the vote to tax-paying, zero-welfare-receiving, head of household only.

I would prefer to make it only those who own land as well.

If you don't have a physical stake in the soil that makes up the nation, you are not invested in it.

Better than land would be a parenthood requirement for voting

Then the only ones that can vote are those with a stake in the future of the nation

IMO you gotta set standards for who becomes a parent in the first place

Remember, folks

we all know that there are certain...segments of the population who shouldn't be having children in the first place

The PA-18 electorate was D+4 by party registration by default, 48 to 44, appx. the same as RVs.
Turnout was 52.3% among reg. Dems, 51.7% among Reps, 32% w/other.
18-29 year olds represented just 6% of the electorate

I mean yeah of course

Maybe in return for certain welfare programs you get sterilized or something

The AZ-08 district has a lot of registered Rs and doesn't have the same D ancestry PA-18 did
Win/loss is one of many qs -- more important to compare to a baseline, see how Rs do w/high turnout, etc

Generally the type of people who do have children take more precautions than single people especially when voting

UT-03 -> solid Trump overperformance (!) + R registration advantage
GA-06 -> pretty close to Trump performance in Gingrich's old seat
KS-04 -> good R registration + big Trump underperformance

If you vote for someone and you are childless, you vote for your own future, if you vote and have children, you're trying to look out for their future

Yeah, lot of factors to go on
