Blacks remember

2018-09-12 23:24:48 UTC  

+ blacks are at very high turnout levels rn and most FL Democrats are mobilised. I don't think the primary turnout has ever been this close between Democrats and Republicans.

2018-09-12 23:24:56 UTC  

Georgia is only 53% White

2018-09-12 23:25:28 UTC  

Georgia also has a growing Hispanic population also.

2018-09-12 23:25:44 UTC  

>primary turnout in 2012

2018-09-12 23:26:02 UTC  

The point was to suggest that primary turnout is not an effective predictor.

2018-09-12 23:26:06 UTC  

Did Democrats even know they were holding primaries in 2012?

2018-09-12 23:26:21 UTC  

Bill Nelson also won in 2012 despite much lower primary turnout than his opponent.

2018-09-12 23:26:24 UTC  

Nelson won big too.

2018-09-12 23:26:36 UTC  

This is a fucking midterm, and needless to say, I wasn't speaking only of turnout but of Hispanics voting for DeSantis.

2018-09-12 23:32:31 UTC  

So we have the following factors working against us:
1. Extremely high Democratic turnout
2. Black Democratic nominee to energise blacks even more
3. Midterms with a Republican in office
4. A moderate state with the GOP candidate not viewed as moderate (the same deal with the Democrat opponent)
5. An electorate increasingly swarmed by minority voters
6. 4/5 polls suggesting Gillum will win

2018-09-12 23:32:33 UTC  

A la tossup.

2018-09-12 23:33:22 UTC  

Either way, this is unquestionably a nail-biting election.

2018-09-12 23:35:13 UTC  

Maybe if we're lucky Florence will annihilate the Democratic areas of the east coast and we sweep.

2018-09-12 23:38:07 UTC  

Yep, working as hard as possible to fight all of that

2018-09-12 23:38:29 UTC  

These are all nationwide indicators.

2018-09-12 23:38:34 UTC  

Except 2

2018-09-12 23:38:45 UTC  

The niggers can't beat us if we make up for it with whites

2018-09-12 23:38:46 UTC  

Plus you don't factor anything I cited obviously

2018-09-12 23:39:18 UTC  

Gillum is definitely farther left than DeSantis is farther right thankfully, I'm doing my absolute hardest to drive that home

2018-09-12 23:39:21 UTC  

I factored in all of the indicators working AGAINST us. The ones which favour us are already cited. They collide to form a tossup.

2018-09-12 23:39:58 UTC  

I think of this election as a pure tossup

2018-09-12 23:40:13 UTC  

I am working to get every last vote from every reliable person I know

2018-09-12 23:40:20 UTC  

Every vote counts

2018-09-12 23:40:23 UTC  

2010 census data says that GA is 55% NH white by the way.

2018-09-12 23:40:32 UTC  

And its black population is relatively low due to Hispanics

2018-09-12 23:40:43 UTC  

This is a state where my actions could decide the election

2018-09-12 23:40:57 UTC  

Indeed.

2018-09-12 23:41:10 UTC  

I had a friend who promoted Kobach too.

2018-09-12 23:41:21 UTC  

It's definitely not unheard of for an election to be close enough for one person to make a difference.

2018-09-12 23:41:24 UTC  

@FLanon Are your parents Spanish speakers?

2018-09-12 23:41:54 UTC  

If so, you should see if you can get them to contact some of the Cuban cultural centres in Florida to get votes.

2018-09-12 23:42:03 UTC  

Or are they too busy to participate in campaigning?

2018-09-12 23:42:42 UTC  

I might be able to get one of them to try that out

2018-09-12 23:43:05 UTC  

I will stop at nothing at this point. They're busy people but this is an incredibly important election.

2018-09-13 23:25:29 UTC  

look at these ads, what do you think of them
