As results start coming in, post dramatic reactions here for my our collective entertainment. CA in particular has some fun races that should yield big league drama in both T_D and r/politics

Sarcasm and flippant behavior represent contempt, which is the opposite of intellectual integrity. You seem like a real fool of a human.

Can you imagine if Feinstein, Pelosi, or Waters gets the boot? The potential for drama tonight is very high.
1 shitpost953 2018-06-06
Feinstein shouldn't be running.. it's selfish.
Chances the dem senator will win in November is 95% but she's going to be 90 when her term ends, and who knows what will happen in the next 6 years. she should have given her challenger a chance to get a foothold while the chance is the best.

1 Oh_hamburgers_ 2018-06-06
At some point these dinosaurs have to to, waters is safe because black in black district, Feinstein is safe because statewide recognition, I think Pelosi would be the first to go.

1 Dropperneck 2018-06-06
Also the Democrats have put up little opposition since the economy and everything is going so well. Basically all they have is reeeeee drumpt, and it doesn’t appear to be inspiring the masses. So even causal dumpf haters are going to be very upset if things don’t go their way. In American elections the expectation is that after a president wins the election the opposing parties members have the major edge in mid term elections. If drumpt manages to keep the house and/or senate, expect even the most causal of libtards to lose they shit. R/politics, news, and every other leftist sub will be gold.
1 ChaddingTater 2018-06-06
I'm still not convinced burgers have the mental capacity to vote
1 Dropperneck 2018-06-06
When motivated with dumb wedge issues they do. I’m gonna campaign for trump in the fall. Our game plan is to go to ‘purple’ households and fear monger the second and first amendments. We will certainly see, but I plan to keep my state republican for now. I wish the Democrats would drop the populist mayo sjw crap, and become a viable option to regular men tbh
1 ChaddingTater 2018-06-06
I plan on running in 2024 on a mandate to revoke the 15th and 19th amendments, I expect your vote o7

The economy has been a stagnant dumpster fire throughout the entirety of 2018, mostly due to Trump's threats/tariffs/spastic behavior.

Dude, he was right. The market is stagnant as fuck. We're right around where we were in January before he started his retarded tariff tweets.
1 NationalismIsFun 2018-06-06
I lost enough during the blip around the end of January to admit I got concerned, but things settled quickly and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Not to mention what I've saved so far from the tax cuts

how does that help the out of work coal miners who have no money though?
1 uniqueguy263 2018-06-06
It doesn't. At all. It helps rich people who don't need the help. I don't support the tax cuts. But they are boosting investments, just at the cost of hurting the poor and middle class disproportionally
1 Assy-McGee 2018-06-06
nevermind tax cuts are great. poors are full of brown people and they can go back to Africa and Mexico if they don’t want to stand for the flag or the free market
1 Leftist_Degenerate 2018-06-06
Low unemployment and booming economy are very bad for working people. Democrats should run on this brilliant platform next fall.

The word you're looking for is "stock buybacks." Investment has not soared.
1 uniqueguy263 2018-06-06
Investments, not investment. Orient shoulda said stocks in retrospect
1 GuillotinesNOW 2018-06-06
The Dow Jones is up 0.002% since the tax cuts became law. The S&P500 is only up 0.02%. The market lost every bit of those short-term gains.
1 uniqueguy263 2018-06-06
The tax cuts have been priced in for a while and caused much of the gains of 2017
1 watermark02 2018-06-06
It's nonsensical to pass tax cuts at the top of the business cycle. You are exciting an already overheated market.
1 uniqueguy263 2018-06-06
I'm just talking about short term here. It hurts long term

I saved pretty much nothing due to the tax cuts? Definitely not worth multiple trillions of dollars in debt. There was zero reason to pass a tax cut at the top of the business cycle, republicans are retarded.

1 McFluffTheCrimeCat 2018-06-06
You can just say you haven’t researched any platforms they are running on. Fixing healthcare cost, net neutrality, infrastructure, actually fixing the immigration issues trump has exasperated. Since the majority of the country isn’t super happy with trump yeah not liking trump helps in a lot of areas. While republicans are having to pull back on their plan to use their “tax policy” since its polling pretty horribly in reality since it was more of a feed the rich plan to begin with.
1 Dropperneck 2018-06-06
Socialized medicine, increasing taxes, government oversight on the internet, and giving illegals free benefits and citizenship is one hell of a fire ass platform. Dems should clean up in the fall bigly. I take back all of my former criticisms, this has shown me the light tbh
1 uniqueguy263 2018-06-06
Saving people's lives, balancing the budget, stopping Comcast from fucking everyone in the ass, and doing the most American thing possible, supporting huddled masses yearning to breathe free, is a really great platform. That being said, Democrats are definitely gonna fuck themselves in the ass by talking about stupid bullshit no one gives a fuck about and making themselves look retarded
1 Dropperneck 2018-06-06
Can we stop and just reflect on the point. I never thought I’d say this but I think you are truly winning me over with your well crafted arguments. Crazy I may probably vote against drumpt in the fall!

ya ya mass shooting are just the price of freedoms were heard it before
1 -absolutego- 2018-06-06
I don't have much of a horse in this race but are we really going to pretend either major party has any interest in actually balancing the budget? Both have sacred cows they refuse to touch and pet projects they love to throw tax revenue into.
If Dems raised taxes again to "balance the budget" they'd probably just expand welfare programs again. If the GOP tried it they'd box up the new funds and ship it to Lockheed Martin.
1 McFluffTheCrimeCat 2018-06-06
Like every 1st world country where citizens can actually access healthcare? Pharma companies and health insurers are have been making record profits year after year while the average/poor american has to go broke to even get coverage or care. We could have already fixed this problem but R's vetoed caps when ACA was being enacted. About 2/3rds of the country support expanding healthcare to fix this problem even if it means a small tax increase. ACA or no ACA healthcare cost are going to continue to rise until something is done about it.
Those are already happening under the republican health plan after the cut for everyone but the rich ends. Most people don't mind moderate tax increases as long as what we get back is actual public services.
You apparently need to do some research on what net neutrality means. It's the only thing keeping the internet from ISPs privatizing and packaging what your able to access and see depending on what you can pay. See Mexico's internet as an example of what happens without it... Most american's support NN and around the FCC's decision on it under the current admin they couldn't even clear 51% of republican voters supporting that decision.
Besides access to public schooling, which we have offered to anyone residing in the US despite status for a long time. The actual change would be amnesty for those already here who have no felony records , DACA recipients aka letting the children(that some of are now adults) be able to have an expedited path to citizen and ability to pay into the tax system without fear of deportation to a countries they haven't been in since they were actual children and were brought here of no choice of their own. Unless you support the policy of punishing people for the actions of their parents?
No matter how you feel about that it's been obvious for a long time we need immigration reform to fix our well outdated process. There's literally no serious candidate supporting the boogeyman "open borders" policy the GOP likes to pretend about.
1 Dropperneck 2018-06-06
Congratulations you just flipped a drumphette into being a future loyal liberal voter!
1 McFluffTheCrimeCat 2018-06-06
Lol. You can’t be that dumb or don’t know what Nordic countries actual means. UK, Germany, France, Canada, etc aren’t Nordic tard.
You realize the first regulations started to appear in 1999 right? The only thing added in 2015 was titleII due to the evolution of the internet.
Are you talking about republicans? The people promoting defunding schools? They seem to be the party that loves uninformed voters or they wouldn’t be getting the rural uneducated mayo vote since if your middle class or poor voting R is pretty much against your financial self interest.
You apparently no zero about dem administrations deportation policies but those are focused on actual felons not people who bungled paperwork and people trying to escape cartels and such instead of REE Hispanic whites scares me.
1 Dropperneck 2018-06-06
Told Jerry earlier not trying to make this place reeee/politics. They tried to pass NN in the early 2000s but nothing passed till like mid 2015 through the Congress. So that means the internet is basically

they just waste additional function on programs that never work.
they could cut funding in half, return to the way high schools were run in 1990, and get better outcomes than they do now.

1 DamnesiaVu 2018-06-06
California has jungle primary elections to determine who gets on the ballot in the real election. The top two candidates advance to the real election, and they can both be from the same political party.
So there's a solid likelihood that in the real elections coming up there will be California races where no Republican candidates appear on the ballot, resulting in mass conservative REEEEEEEing.
Alternatively, there's a chance that far left areas might end up with only Republicans on the ballot because they have a bazillion Democratic candidates running for every Republican candidate, meaning the Democratic vote is split into little fragments while the Republican votes are all concentrated on their 2-3 candidates.
1 Imgur_Lurker 2018-06-06
Yes, Republicans really are concerned about Commiefornia
1 kippot 2018-06-06

1 DamnesiaVu 2018-06-06
You'd be surprised; IIRC fourteen of California's seats in the national House of Representatives are held by Republicans. Their lead over the Democrats in the House is by a couple dozen seats, so losing their Cali reps would be nothing to sneeze at.
It's a similar dynamic in California as Oregon and Washington - the western half is strongly Democratic, but the eastern half is full of Republicans. In the case of California, the inland areas are populated 1990s panicking over NWO black helicopters-tier Republicans.
1 I_Dream_of_Outremer 2018-06-06
Holy shit look at the autism on you. Congratulations for being brave enough to lean into your disease.
The pivotal common denominator between those groups is they're not huge fans of illegal immigrants invading and overwhelming their communities
1 DamnesiaVu 2018-06-06
Keep yourself safe; I hear latest batch of fentanyl (pbuh) has got more west coast Republicans foaming at the mouth than "happy holidays" and seeing black people in commercials combined.
1 I_Dream_of_Outremer 2018-06-06
They're 12% of the population and they're in half our commercials, we're allowed to notice that
1 DamnesiaVu 2018-06-06
We all have to deal with Republicans being overrepresented in the legislature, electoral college, districts, courts, bathhouses, and opiate overdose statistics; you can suck it up and deal with seeing some dastardly dark faces on the picture box.

That means he basically wins right? I think that's how the system works. What is a runoff?
1 Thulean-Dragon 2018-06-06
I have no idea what's going on, is this the midterm or what?
1 NationalismIsFun 2018-06-06
It's the pre-midterm, we're voting for the candidates that will face off in the midterm
1 Thulean-Dragon 2018-06-06
Is it one candidate for each state?
1 NationalismIsFun 2018-06-06
So there are a ton of races within each state and within each municipality: treasurer, comptroller, board of equalization, sheriff, judges, attorney general, etc everything you can think of
And within each local and state race it's pretty simple to get on the ballot for the primary, you usually just have to get maybe like 1,000 signatures and spend $1,000, it's very simple, so there are usually a huge number of randos that sign up (like "My entire campaign is about saving the Spotted Owl" or "My entire campaign is about making taxation illegal" kooks and weirdos)
We have our primaries like today to weed out all the randos and get down to two candidates (usually one democrat and one republican, occasionally two of the same party) to vote between in the real ("general") election

Okay, I see.
Thanks, Ameribro.

My pleasure

Haha I forgot that you guys vote for sheriffs.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2018-06-06
For some reason burgers insist on separating police authority between the federal and state levels, it's really weird and causes all sorts of accountability issues.
1 LightUmbra 2018-06-06
Sheriffs are for counties not states. We also have state police and often municipal police.

*Separating police authority between the federal, state, county, and municipal levels for some reason
1 LightUmbra 2018-06-06
It's because many of the different layers (counties are often very close to the city in them) have very different laws. Also many day to day laws are state laws because of the size of the US and the widely varying cultures. Federal law enforcement generally deal with federal crimes and some inter-state crime.

How is this different to the Presidency?
1 imaginarycreatures 2018-06-06
Even kooks need a fair bit of money to get on the ballot for President. It doesn't take much to get on the ballot for the small stuff.

We're at the state of waffling at the drive through menu, we haven't ordered yet
1 deceIIerator 2018-06-06
And then you're gonna spend the next 2 years advertising the menu as the rest of the world wishes it was just over with already.

My state, California, is doing a primary, and my main hope is that Feinsten doesn't continue to be senator. Is that so much to ask?
1 Leftist_Degenerate 2018-06-06
Not unless California stops being turbo-cucked.

letting fentanyl swilling toothless inbreds take your money while spitting in your face about it is pretty cucked tbrwyrnmn
1 allendrio 2018-06-06
shit good point
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2018-06-06
Can't argue with that
1 LemonScore 2018-06-06
So why are the leftists there always complaining about the minimum wage not being liveable and poverty? The money being made is by the rich in the entertainment, agriculture and banking industries.
Unfortunately, you haven't been keeping up. Leftists used the "Republicans are welfare queens" for a while until people started looking at the stats and found that most of the welfare cities in red states were occupied by ethnic minorities and suddenly that discussion point was dropped like an anvil.
1 Leftist_Degenerate 2018-06-06
Yes, cucked. Bending over for illegal immigration. Cucked.
1 youcanteatbullets 2018-06-06
Yes
1 watermark02 2018-06-06
I oppose suicidal attempts to replace senators like Joe Manchin and Jon Tester, but it's utterly retarded that a Democrat as conservative as Feinstein represents a state as liberal as California. She sticks out like a sore thumb, one of the most conservative democrats in one of the most liberal states.

im going to win every seat and become the government
1 PhysicsIsMyMistress 2018-06-06
Look at these idiots over in the_donald thinking that you need to fix an election in commefornia to stop republicans from winning

Lmao they seriously think they had any hope of winning in CA.
1 dootwiththesickness 2018-06-06
I'm not a Californian but in primary season couldn't the crazy people have done well? I always sorta felt like Republicans in deep Blue states are the craziest ones of all.
