Can you faggots quit fucking memeing for just a second and realize that Dems are ACTUALLY flipping Republican seats, and the "blue wave" has a strong likelihood?

THIS IS TODAY, BY THE WAY

One of them only had ~2000 people voting. Most people don't know there are special elections so it isn't a good idea to base a midterm election, something most people should know about, with special elections that only a few thousand people vote on.

New Hampshire and Maine could.

>state-legislation
>in the Northwest

can we just range-ban all leafs already?

*northeast, my bad

>a leaf pushing liberal bullshit
What did zhe mean by this?

You just can't handle my trips of truth.

this is the way leftists operate. they do it here for local elections too. they don't tell anyone that there's going to be an election so no one knows. but they go to all of their "activist" organizations and let them know. that way you get a tiny turnout with a pretty one-sided vote. so of course local media wouldn't be announcing anything.

Republicans won seats literally all the time when Obama was president and the media never reported it. Now with Trump, every time some irrelevant seat in the middle of fucking nowhere gets flipped there is non-stop coverage.

Except that they WERE Republican seats.
>Most people don't know there are special elections so it isn't a good idea to base a midterm election, something most people should know about, with special elections that only a few thousand people vote on.
They SHOULD have known. Imho this is Republicans again doing what they do best, being too lazy or busy to vote. Local seats DO matter.
And who wouldn't want us paying attention to this thread? Shills, that's who. You faggots need to get out and get yourself informed about what is going on in your local politics. Do it!

It also doesn't take into account all the tiny little elections all over where nothing has changed. Way back in the day of 2010 we were wiping them out in all these special elections, that has not been happening.

>implying most Republicans aren't jewish puppets like the Dems
You have to go back

>this is the way leftists operate. they ....don't tell anyone that there's going to be an election so no one knows
What the FUCK, WHY is it the responsibility of leftists to let conservatives know that there's going to be an election? Maybe conservatives should pull their heads out of their asses and try to get informed.

EVERYONE needs to be on the rsg threads. They frequently have info about special elections.
Everyone who is against this is either a shill or a nihilistic teenager who can barely tear himself away from his asian gangbang porn to take a shit.

>implying most Republicans aren't jewish puppets like the Dems
ain't that the truth

It feels like sabotage. The people with their heads up their asses automatically assume I'm some Dem shill from the way I worded my OP, but consider what is more beneficial to the dems: this going unnoticed, or lighting a fire under republican asses?

Regardless, why aren't people fucking voting?

No one here cares what Canada thinks of the US.

Consider how boring our government is. Whatever you guys do determines the future of our country, undoubtedly. So get your shit together and get those fucking Democrats out of office.

For fuck's sake...

yes, nice trips
Here's a source for national special elections, like the one which replaced Jason Chaffetz last year: ballotpedia.org/Special_elections_to_the_115th_United_States_Congress_(2017-2018)#Announced_special_elections

Those are admittedly more important, obviously, and we should keep an eye out for them.

From the article:

Democratic candidates on Tuesday won two special elections for state legislative seats in the Northeast, another indication for the party that a blue wave is forming ahead of November's midterm elections.

In New Hampshire, Laconia voters elected substance abuse counselor Philip Spagnuolo (D) over Republican Les Cartier, a former state employee, in a district President Trump carried by a 13-point margin in 2016.


The district opened up when the incumbent, state Rep. Donald Flanders (R), died in September.

In Connecticut, Democrat Philip Young defeated Republican Bill Cabral to win a Stratford-based district that has been in Republican hands for decades -- even though Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton carried a narrow plurality there in 2016.

...
The wins Tuesday night extend the Democratic advantage in special elections held since Trump was inaugurated last year. In 2018 alone, Democrats have won Republican-held state legislative seats in Wisconsin, Florida, Kentucky and Missouri.

The New Hampshire seat is the fifth Democrats have taken from Republicans since Trump's inauguration.

Neither election held Tuesday will substantially alter local politics in New Hampshire or Connecticut. Republicans maintain a wide majority in the New Hampshire state House, while Democrats have added to their majority in their state House.

National Democrats bragged that they spent significantly in both races. And a group run by former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander (D) also spent money in the New Hampshire special election.

>Regardless, why aren't people fucking voting?
working too much, complacency, laziness...you name it
historically, Republicans are not as dutiful about voting as Dems, unfortunately

>State legislature

WOW IT'S FUCKING NOTHING

National Democrats bragged that they spent significantly in both races

The leaf has a point, but so does the human. There may be good explanations for the loss of these seats, but it only hurts us to sit on our hands and not do anything. The Left has a metric fuckton of organizations solely dedicated to political activism - the Right has none.

>can we just range-ban all leafs already?
They always blow in under the door somehow.

The Dem in CT won a state election by 52 votes.

Calm the fuck down.

Relax faggot. Dem voter fraud scandal will break before mid-term.

Actually, that’s not strictly true. The Right does have political organizations, but they are generally professional outfits which stay in their interest lanes and don’t communicate outside of them. All ELECTORAL organization is channeled through the Republican Party, which carries its own set of problems, and this only happens because it is the “default” setting - no other group on the Right is willing or interested in mobilizing voters, town hall attendees, etc. (except perhaps for the recent grassroots Trump-linked groups during the 2016 election).

By contrast, the Left spends a ton of organizational energy and capital on COORDINATION. Every shitlib group talks to every other shitlib group, and you can be damn sure that they all share supporter and donor lists. That’s why you see CAIR, La Raza, BLM, and other seemingly-unrelated groups at events like the Pussy March - the level of cooperation and coordination is (literal) generations ahead of the Right.

TLDR: the Right’s political efforts are organized like a highway - everyone stays in their own lane until election time rolls around, and then everyone tries to merge over to take the Republican Party exit to the polls. The Left is organized like a spiderweb - everything is interconnected, and the Left can deploy the spider of money and manpower to anywhere it senses a disturbance in the web.

NB: I am well-aware that the Left has advantages like media control and the ability to organize openly. This is true, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Right is politically-uncoordinated and unorganized in comparison.

I don't know very much, but from what I've read on the matter it seems that if Dems get their shit together and talk about issues people care about, they can pull through. Hopefully they'll talk more about gun control, transgender bathrooms, and how Blumpf is the worst.

>they can pull through
How? They've alienated literally everyone except black transgender immigrant neoliberal communists.

Good point

So the 1000 seats lost during the Obama didn't matter?

Who do you think controls redistricting, which is coming up in 2020?

CT seat was held by Republicans for something like 40 years. A Republican won the seat by 25% in 2016.

The NH seat was also pretty Republican. The last guy (who died) held it for 20 years

Absolutely desperate to keep millennials from from returning to their vidya and growing apolitical again.

Other than the perpetuation of the meme itself, what did it matter?

I swear you and I have read the exact same article on this.
>why the left wing will always be more organized
Or something?
Source?

State legislatures control redistricting in most states.
Redistricting determines how congressional maps are made up.
This can be a very big deal. Look at how Republicans in Pennsylvania are fighting to keep their gerrymandered maps.

It'll be especially bad for Republicans as it's happening right before the 2020 Census, which is when the redistricting is done.

That's to say nothing of the impact on local politics within the states themselves.
