no, no,
that was how Clinton and Trump performed in the district
it was held by a Republican
what were the circumstances behind him getting out?
old age, scandal, what?
old age
EVERY (R) ON THE BALLOT IS TRUMP ON THE BALLOT
you've got to understand, without an incumbency bump, this was likely to go D anyways.
"EVERY (R) ON THE BALLOT IS TRUMP ON THE BALLOT"
lol that's the opposite of how it works
let's take the Kentucky seat from a few days ago
Dan Johnson only won because of the bump he got from Trump
it was a very slight margin in 2016
the seat was typically Dem
you're not seeing a shift to blue when it comes to the populace
it's such a ridiculous thing to freak out about, when the seat went further R than Clinton v Trump
you're seeing
1. Lack of Trump being on the ballot
2. Lack of motivation in general rom GOP voters
without contact to a network of boomers nationwide, we can't do too much about this
what the fuck is the point of moping about this anyways?
a 1% shift is like nothing
it's nothing much, but it's not a bad thing, and it's certainly nothing to go full apocalypse over
SWALLOW THE BLACKPILL, WHITEBOI
okay, now, what was the swing in Kentucky, exactly?
today?
yes
28% swing in favor of Democrats
that's more of a worry than a swing in favor of Rs
T
U
R
N
O
U
T
that's the name of the game
the issue is that blue reddit has this network of dedicated voters in these special elections, but we don't have a mass contact with red reddit
if that can be managed, then we can actually make change with these special elections and you can soapbox however you want.
@FLanon another issue is that red reddit is persecuted by the admins
anyway, I wonder if the support for abortion after 5 weeks thing will hurt Lamb in this district
>you're against putting murderers to death therefore you're a hypocrite for not wanting to murder what you see as infants
red reddit is quarantined in t_d, I doubt we'll get good support in r/politics or something like that
anything else, like alt right subreddits and all that usually end up getting shut down which is unfortunate
Its not a leftwing circlejerk like the rest of the politics subs
I doubt there'd be that high of a concentration of dedicated R voters to be effective enough for improving turnout in a significant way.
