Well said.

I think a lot of those establishmentarians are in office for a reason. You need those types of candidates in order to win in that distritct/state. Someone like Marsha Blackburn wouldn't be doing half as good as Bob Hugin is doing in New Jersey. Kicking them out of safe republican seats and installing an /our guy/ makes sense, but the "moderates" still have their use. The two party system created a spectrum of left vs right, ranging from Maxine Waters to the Uni Party to someone like Bill Posey. Those safe seats are always going to be there, but you need those swing seats in order to actually get anything done. I'd much rather work with the Orrin Hatches of the world to try and get something done than sit in a permanent minority while the left is constantly passing center-left laws. If the United States had a parliamentary system then I'd agree on the necessity of ideological homogeneity among the populist-right, however, we need to think of the current situation like there are 5 parties: The far-left, the center left, the center, the center right, and the far-right. We need a coalition in order to get anything done, and the center-right are the only people who will even speak to us.

In areas where it makes sense, maybe

2018-09-23 17:24:42 UTC  

But we can have better people in a lot of areas

2018-09-23 17:26:42 UTC  

agreed

@Amsel I would argue that a candidate with a RIght Wing Populist platform (ie. RIght on cultural and social issues, but more moderate on economic issues like George Wallace) would do very well in the MidWest and the Appalachian states but the GOP donors and the establishment wouldn't support those kinds of candidates because the main thing they care about is Economic issues

2018-09-23 19:27:54 UTC  

As a natsoc I'm definitely biased towards an economically left socially right platform.

2018-09-23 19:50:32 UTC  

The nazis were pretty pro-entrepreneur IIRC, weren't they?

2018-09-23 19:50:44 UTC  

Also anti-unemployment benefits

2018-09-23 20:00:50 UTC

2018-09-23 20:02:07 UTC  

There was nothing philosophically leftist about any of the 3R's economic policies.

2018-09-25 00:45:43 UTC  

http://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/29gKLl this is the most plausible senate prediction i'd say

2018-09-25 00:45:49 UTC  

@Rhodesiaboo do you agree?

2018-09-25 00:53:45 UTC  

@[Lex] Give a serious prediction please.

2018-09-25 00:54:18 UTC  

without tossups, a serious prediction would be:

2018-09-25 00:55:53 UTC  

This is a reasonable prediction.

2018-09-25 00:57:31 UTC  

54 Senate Seats isn't bad

2018-09-25 00:57:47 UTC  

if we had 54 Senate seats right now I think we would be having 0 problems pushing Kavanaugh through

2018-09-25 00:57:56 UTC  

probably 0 problems pushing someone even further to the right of Kavanaugh through

2018-09-25 00:58:41 UTC  

yep

2018-09-25 00:58:58 UTC  

I do not see a net loss in the senate race.

2018-09-25 00:59:31 UTC  

But this map WILL change if different senators vote for Kavanaugh or don't vote for Kavanaugh.

2018-09-25 00:59:39 UTC  

If DOnnelly votes Kavanaugh, it'll shrink.

2018-09-25 01:00:00 UTC  

If Manchin doesn't vote Kavanaugh I'd reconsider it being blue but not enough to consider it red.

2018-09-25 02:48:08 UTC  

Everything I’ve seen has just been like 2016

2018-09-25 02:53:56 UTC  

@Rhodesiaboo then you must not have payed any attention at all in 2016

2018-09-25 02:55:20 UTC  

Literally where we are right now is where we were in 2016

2018-09-25 02:55:44 UTC  

It was when the grab her by the pussy tape came out and we all thought we were going to lose badly

2018-09-25 03:10:07 UTC  

The congressional polls were nothing like they are now

2018-09-25 03:10:16 UTC  

Most of them

2018-09-25 10:20:09 UTC  

I remember 2016

2018-09-25 10:20:19 UTC  

This is nothing like 2016

2018-09-25 10:20:36 UTC  

^

2018-09-25 19:17:48 UTC  

Welp, keep denying it

2018-09-25 20:43:54 UTC  

Wasn't Hildawg up by double digits around the grab her by the pussy time?

2018-09-25 20:44:34 UTC  

Yeah

2018-09-25 20:44:56 UTC  

And a lot of these races says the democrats are up by double digits.

2018-09-25 20:46:13 UTC  

Kill the polling companies by proving their biased pollings wrong

2018-09-25 20:46:17 UTC  

The more money they lose

2018-09-25 20:46:26 UTC  

The more they'll be less inclined to be biased
