other things to do once those are done

[ ] sign up for the Democrats’ mailing list on obstructionistlosers.com/ to keep an eye out for what they want to do in your area

[ ] sign up for the Republican’s mailing list on gop.com/ to keep an eye out for what they want to do in your area
[ ]think of all the family members and friends you know who are willing to vote against the Democrats, and get them to register to vote if they haven’t yet, and CONSTANTLY REMIND THEM THAT NOVEMBER 6 IS THE BIG DAY. Do whatever it takes. If you have a younger Gen Z sister who hates the Democrats and recently turned 18, get her to stop taking selfies and take some time to register. Prepare a family / friend party for November 6 or close to it. Anything along those lines. If you’re a hot chick (or a girl who isn’t a landwhale, really) get your beta orbiters to vote.

[ ] if you know people willing to vote Democrat, think of all the ways to redpill or demotivate them; obviously this will vary on a case-by-case basis

[ ] share what you know about how each candidate is perceived in your area (e.g. I live in Indiana and Joe Donnelly isn't even popular among progressives; I live in NYC and many people here won't even bother going out to vote for Gillibrand)

[ ] share your ideas on how to improve this general

FLORIDA

(PRIMARY - AUGUST 28, 2018)

Anyone from FL reading this should mark this date on their calendar and prepare to get you and everyone on the right you know in real life out to the polls.

Potential Strategies

According to the Issues:

>postonpolitics.blog.mypalmbeachpost.com/2018/02/02/palm-beach-bound-trump-oks-memo-release-bill-nelson-calls-it-huge-victory-for-vladimir-putin/

He believes the Russia LARP. Calls the memo a victory for Putin. He needs to be targeted as a deranged dumbass or conniving traitor who propagates the idiotic Russian conpsiracy theory, which will alienate him with moderates.

>politico.com/states/florida/story/2018/02/07/in-dueling-florida-senate-polls-nelson-either-leads-or-is-tied-with-scott-241233

is probably going to face Rick Scott in the primaries, who is relatively popular in Florida

[Tyler Jenkins]

(HOUSE RACES)

17 Incumbent Republicans
12 Incumbent Democrats

FL-06 Ron DeSantis, Republican, Retiring, 2016 House Margin (17.1%), 2016 Presidential Margin (17% for Trump)

FL-07 Stephanie Murphy, Democrat, 2016 House Margin (3%), 2016 Presidential Margin (7.3% for Hillary)

FL-13 Charlie Crist, Democrat, 2016 House Margin (3.8%), 2016 Presidential Margin (3.2% for Hillary)

FL-18 Brian Mast, Republican, 2016 House Margin (10.5%), 2016 Presidential Margin (9.2% for Trump)

FL-26 Carlos Curbelo, Republican, 2016 House Margin (11.8% for Republican), 2016 Presidential Margin (16.3% for Hillary)

FL-27 Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Republican, Retiring, 2016 House Margin (9.8% for Republican), 2016 Presidential Margin (19.6% for Hillary)

(DEMOGRAPHICS)

>In FL, GOP candidates needs to get turnout high in areas that contain lots of rural and suburban whites, as well as right wing Cubans

that means putting in the energy and hard work to make many live appearances in: the Panhandle to target rural whites, the suburbs of Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg, etc

>GOP candidates needs to court the Cuban vote, concentrated in Miami, by pointing out how the Democrats have been friendly to the Castro regime

>GOP candidates can win over moderates and independents by defeating their Democrat opponent in televised debates, spending millions of dollars on ads, and emphasizing the benefits of the tax cuts

>Democrats can win by getting snowbirds (leftist transplants from the North) and minorities (blacks, Puerto Ricans, other hispanics) to turn out in large numbers. This can be done by using leftist rage against Trump, spending lots of money on driving their voters to the polls on election day, and getting turnout high in urban areas like Miami as well as black areas in other parts of the state

The Complete Red Storm Todo-List

(ONLINE)

[ ] use a disposable email and sign up for The Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and any other online leftist space you feel like; start racking up posts masquerading as a leftist (shouldn’t be hard, just rant about Russian bots, mimic their quirks like “yet another scared little white male afraid of losing power”); become a reputable poster so that you can set things up for later psy-ops

[ ] make a fake leftist Twitter account, follow a bunch of leftists and masquerade as a soyboy / SJW harpy by writing up a bunch of leftist sounding tweets

[ ] make a list of all Trump supporting / right-leaning people you know on social media, Steam, forums, etc; pm them to ask if they’re voting in the primaries and this November in the midterms; keep track of them every once in a while to ensure that they do

[ ] compile a folder of memes and a word document of copypastas to make certain things more efficient

(OFFLINE / ‘REAL WORLD’)

[ ] register to vote; register for the Republican Party if it’s required to vote in the primaries in your state; mark the date for the primaries for your state on your calendar; mark November 6 on your calendar)

[ ] research the primary candidates and incumbents in your area for the House, Senate, and Governor races; decide who you want to support, and keep track of them;

[ ] make a list of people you know in real life who support Trump

[ ] make a list of people you know in real life who lean right (but aren’t really in support of Trump, e.g. NeverTrumpers)

[ ] make a list of people you know in real life who are politically apathetic or on the fence, but can be swayed to support Trump and/or vote GOP (e.g. people who dislike feminism but see no point in voting; people who used to vote Democrat but feel disenfranchised by the party)

[Jackson Diaz]

I think we can get this right, Scott's pretty high in the polling.

[Josiah Adams]

(FLORIDA SENATE RACE)

We are up against Bill Nelson.

ballotpedia.org/Bill_Nelson_(Florida)

>75 Years Old, former astronaut, 2nd sitting member of Congress to travel into space
>3 Term Senator. First elected in 2000 with 51% of the vote. Reelected in 2006 with 60% of the vote. Reelected in 2012 with 55% of the vote.
>Moderate Democrat. Accused of being a DINO -- Democrat in Name Only. Florida is a purple state, so no shit.
>As of 2017 he holds a 52% approval rating with only 23% of his constituents saying they disapprove of his job as Senator.

The guy is a bit of a tough opponent. He has a solid resume. He won in 2006 and 2012 with nice margins, partly because those were ‘blue years’ where Democrats won big. However, a lot has changed in the country since 2012. SJW bullshit only really started in 2014. Trump changed the landscape in 2015 and won in 2016 when he was a fucking joke in 2012. This guy is beatable, but as a moderate Democrat can appeal to large segments of the Floridian population. We’re going to have to marshall the people who voted for Rubio and Trump to vote for this guy. I used to live in Florida but don’t know much about him.

Any thoughts? I’ll update this as more info comes in.

Primary Date
August 28, 2018

Read up on your primary candidates and REMEMBER TO VOTE. If you live in Florida, mark this on your calendar and get your family/friends out with you!

[Aaron Ramirez]

Yeah, it'll still be tough. Nelson is a long time incumbent

[Austin King]

Scott's working on his approval rating right now, everyone's suspecting he's going for a run.

[Noah Gonzalez]

At Monday's rally, Trump discussed something new: the psychology of the midterms (maybe he's been reading /rsg/? ;)

From 17:00 to 20:25:
youtube.com/watch?v=dDb5j9SYLFQ

>We’ve got to do well in ’18, and I know we’re going to do great in ’20. But I think we’re going to do well in ’18. I think we’re going to do very well.

>Historically, when you win the presidency — you know the story. Just, for whatever reason it is — and I think I figured it out. Nobody, really, has been able to explain it properly. I think I figured it — the party wins the presidency. And now the people are happy.

>And the people that voted for us become complacent a little bit. And they don’t get out, and they don’t vote like they should. They sort of take it for granted. They sit back. And then they get clobbered because the other people are desperate. And they get out and they have more energy.

>And I have to say this: History is not on our side. You win the presidency and you take it easy, and then they come and surprise you in the midterms.

>I know we’re going to do great in ’20 because, by that time — see, what happens is, if you did badly ’18, now you’re all angry again and now, ’20 comes along.

>So start thinking about ’18, start thinking about November, start finding out exactly that little slot.

[Brody Long]

I hope he's taking notes on Nelson, who has been in the Senate since 2000. People born in 2000 can vote this year, interesting enough

[John Morgan]

We should be working on Maine some more I think, looks pretty damn close.

[Jason Sanders]

He's definitely got the edge on recognition, who's more recognizable in the state than the governor?

[Charles Nguyen]

there once was a president called bush
he started the nwo push
next was a scoundrel named clinton
his lies were reminder of nixon
next was the one we call w
his story surely would trouble you
then they paraded obama
a trickster is always a charmer
all their plans fueled by oil and kush
when out came miss clinton and cousin bush
and who was sneaking right in from behind
the one who they chose to rebuild your mind
socialism now sounds just like a dream
the communist poison was put in the stream
and all of Earth laughed and thought we were chumps
who in the world wants Donald J Trump?
yet lost somewhere there in the stripes and the stars
who were the young men who slipped through the bars
they let us all loose and showed us true wealth
a pill for your health, and to think for yourself
and so the war started to claim what was free
they tricked all my friends but they did not get me
and the long night broke and the beast it did scream
but we clasped our chins ginning, its only a meme...

OHIO

(PRIMARY - MAY 8, 2018)

Anyone from OH reading this should mark this date on their calendar and prepare to get you and everyone on the right you know in real life out to the polls.

Ohio is an OPEN PRIMARY state which means you do NOT have to be registered for the party in order to vote in their primary.

(SENATE RACE - Defeating Sherrod Brown)

>First elected in 2006 with 56%, Re-Elected in 2012 with 50.7%

Trump Score: 29%, which is 41.3% less than predicted according to Trump’s margin in Ohio

projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/sherrod-brown/

(Potential Strategies)

>shareblue.com/sen-sherrod-brown-slams-trump-admin-steve-mnuchin-for-caving-to-putin-time-is-ticking/

He endorses the idiotic Russia LARP, so his GOP opponent can use that to stir up conservatives and moderates against him.

>nraila.org/campaigns/2012/sherrod-brown/

He has a grade of F from the NRA, which can motivate the many 2nd Amendment voters to turn out against him

>healthreformvotes.org/congress/400050

voted for Obamacare, which is massively unpopular

[Matthew Ortiz]

(HOUSE RACES)

12 Republican Incumbents
5 Democrat Incumbents

OH-01 Steve Chabot, Republican, 2016 House Margin (18.4%), 2016 Presidential Margin (6.6% for Trump)

OH-12 OPEN (formerly held by Pat Tiberi, Republican), 2016 House Margin (36.7% for Republican), 2016 Presidential Margin (11.3% for Trump)

(DEMOGRAPHICS)

>in Ohio, the GOP candidates need to get turnout areas that contain rural whites, suburban whites, and blue collar voters

>that means putting in the energy and hard work to make many live appearances all over the state, aside from urban areas in Columbus and Cincinnati

>that also means embracing the America First, Trumpian message of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA and capitalizing on the Democrats’ abandoning of white working class voters and getting Trump to visit multiple areas in the state

>that also means reminding everyone of the benefits they’ll get from Trump’s tax cuts, which should convince many moderates and independents in Ohio to vote GOP

>the Democrat candidates can win in certain areas by getting black voters to turnout, and potentially win in the state by having a Sanders-esque message that gets enough working class whites to vote

>this can be countered by pointing out how the Democrats were willing to shut down the government because they couldn’t get amnesty for illegal immigrants, which means that they care far more about them than they do about working class whites and blacks

[Camden Rivera]

Ohio's a bit tougher now that Mandel's out, but I think Renacci can handle it if Trump campaigns for him.

[Brandon Torres]

Trump won Ohio by a comfortable margin, so I think it'll be one of our easier battles.

Aside from the 'impossible' races like California and New York, the hardest ones will be

>Minnesota
>Wisconsin
>Michigan

[Joseph Gomez]

WISCONSIN

(PRIMARIES - August 14, 2018)

If you live in WI, mark this date on your calendar. Wisconsin has OPEN primaries which means that you don’t need to be registered in the party to vote in their primary.

(SENATE RACE - Defeating Tammy Baldwin)

>baldwin.senate.gov/press-releases/statement-on-statement-on-russian-cyberattacks

She believes in or is otherwise trying to exploit the dumb Russia LARP, which should energize conservatives and turn moderates/independents against her.

>healthreformvotes.org/congress/400013

She voted for Obamacare and killed the attempts to reform it.

(HOUSE RACES)

6 Incumbent Republicans
4 Incumbent Democrats

WI-03 Ron Kind, Democrat, 2016 House Margin (99%, faced no opponent aside from write-in) 2016 Presidential Margin (4.5% for Trump)

WI-06 Glenn Grothman, Republican, 2016 House Margin (19.9%), 2016 Presidential Margin (16.9%)

[Anthony Murphy]

(DEMOGRAPHICS AND ISSUES)

>in Wisconsin, GOP candidates will need high turnout in white rural and suburban areas, so they need to put in the hard work to make many live appearances in every area of the state other than Madison and Milwaukee

>that also means embracing the America First, Trumpian message of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the USA and capitalizing on the Democrats’ abandoning of white working class voters and getting Trump to visit multiple areas in the state that contain white working class voters

>that also means reminding everyone of the benefits they’ll get from Trump’s tax cuts, which should convince many moderates and independents in Wisconsin to vote GOP

>Democrats’ strategy will be to get turnout high in Madison and Milwaukee and possibly trying to win back working class whites with a Sanders-esque message

>to counter this, point out how the Democrats shut down the government in favor amnesty which favors illegal immigrants over the white working class

[Connor Smith]

Wisconsin may be easier than you think, apparently the senator is some dyke nutjob.

[Jace Edwards]

yeah, but she's an incumbent

[Charles Robinson]

although she's only a 1-term incumbent so far, and won in 2012 which was a good year for the Democrats with Obama and Romney (our favorite Mormon cuck who wasn't even properly trying) at the top of the ticket

[Caleb Nelson]

I don't think incumbency bump will be that advantageous, if we run a solid electable R (like Nehlen before he showed his power level) I think we can get that state in a breeze.

[William Parker]

Bump

[Sebastian Johnson]

Michigan will be tough, and I think MN may be on the razor's edge, but if we really pull it, we may just be able to do it.

[Thomas Peterson]

Bump
