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.

I am a bot. (Info / Contact)

I'll take everyone's bet on how many incumbents get primaried

All of them! 😈

OwO

Can you imagine if Feinstein, Pelosi, or Waters gets the boot? The potential for drama tonight is very high.

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.

Punch a Pelozi!

Keep Yourself Safe!

thanks

I am trying. Build The Wall!

no, just Keep Yourself Safe

Eric Cantor 2: Democrat edition

Lol never happen

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.

I'd love some more (((centrist))) representation in my area, but they're all too good at $fundraising$

Oh god you're a Cali jew? NY financial Jews > CA media jews.

Pfft, I'll take it over hasids any day of the week

Hasids are the slumlords, Ashkenazim are the financials, smh. Out-jewed by an east coast goy mick.

I know, I'm just saying it's not worth living around the hasids. They creep me out.

Yeah I worked with them for a few years they're creepy fucks. I knew one that was pretty cool though, used to bum smokes from me and was actually pretty funny. Chiam-Shia Lefkowitz, will never forget that weirdo.

Can you imagine if Feinstein, Pelosi, or Waters get the boot?

Dont tease me like that.

not enough

Where's Q when you need him?!

Making bank

I wish I had the deplorable and charismatic personality to run a cult. Unfortunately being a drama poster I'm only one of those things.

u right we so charismatic

Wait, has Q started fleecing his following already?

If Brianna Wu doesn't get the nomination I'm officially done with the corrupt Democratic Party.

Ellen Pao*

Chelsea Manning*

Figger Naggot*

Genius Stable

Patrick Little is winning, the leftist jews know it, and they're terrified.

Listen to the fear in this man's voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu4uwaa-c_Q

2.3% bud, he's not looking good. Republican vote is massively split in a dem state, pointless election for the right in CA as usual.

maybe they'll have a better chance once dumpgh is out and they stop dying on the 'mexican' hill

'mexican' hill

Please, dude, Cypress Hill is the preferred nomeclature.

DEUS VULT!

adhere to personal safety protocols

Holster is buttoned and hammer is down.

not surprised at your incompetence even in this endeavour

Well, I am wearing sandals today. If I can't run, I have to be able to fight.

I'm hoping for 5% but I doubt he'll get it

in a population of 30 million people many of them mayos and burrito mayos with identity issues its no wonder that there would be atleast a few thousand skinheads

Yep. The same guy who wiped his IG is really crushing them out there!

He lost. Delete your account /u/Vote-Patrick-Little

Can one of you amerishits esplain whats going on pls

Before our real elections we have preliminary elections to whittle down the field (almost always to two candidates), and there is a lot more emotion invested in this crop of primary candidates than usual because Drumpf

DAMN YOU, DONALD DRUMPH!

thanks for your input leftist_degenerate

The tide is already shifting and now the right can't meme.

Good luck dealing with the pendulum swing. Our next president is probably going to be full on communist.

You need better drugs, friendo.

You need better bantz, sweetie.

That would be a waste.

you're a fucking waste of life

Shush, bugman.

deport yourself

Deport all illegals!

mAk aMrIka gRaTte aGuHN

English or GTFO

agree, put all centipedos in camps

ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER.

Mandatory school camps for retarded centipedos

bantz

uses "sweetie"

Ok

You ok sweaty?

And Bernie can still win too right?

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.

I'm still not convinced burgers have the mental capacity to vote

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

I plan on running in 2024 on a mandate to revoke the 15th and 19th amendments, I expect your vote o7

I hope you’re ironically asking me that question. Fuckjfn duh. What state you running in brother? I’ll come campaign

Not state, I'm running for president 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Technically I wasn't born there but I have a lead on Obongos birth cert guy 👉

Oh Ya nice! Do you know George soros? If not Talk to him he can help u with the documents

I hear that winged beast gave birth to Shillary Cunton, they're on my list

Exactly!

How's zodiac killing working for you?

Nice try FBI

That's what waves of Irish immigration does to a country

FALSE, it was the uppity juden rat that fucked amerifistan

🍀🍀🍀 MAKE AMERICA GAELIC AGAIN 🍀🍀🍀

America is already fabulous

GOOD point. Now, would you like to take a look at my new state of the art showering facilities?

feck off mickie, england did nothing wrong

we dont

full sortition fucking yesterday

I mean...its primaries...so arent the democrats just...like...opposing eachother?

McConnell is up to his usual bullshit though and doing his best to keep them from campaigning come August.

the economy and everything is going so well

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

Reeeeeeeeee👏is 👏how👏we👏define 👏the👏economy 👏in 👏2018

Good to know, fellow passenger on this ride we call life

Hey guys look who doesn't have a job or any investments

or any investments

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.

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

look who doesn't have a job or any investments

what I've saved so far from the tax cuts

L-fucking-O-L

I'm sorry bud, I wouldn't have picked on you if I knew you had an extra chromosome

Tax cuts have made investments soar

how does that help the out of work coal miners who have no money though?

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

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

Low unemployment and booming economy are very bad for working people. Democrats should run on this brilliant platform next fall.

stocks=/economic development

Illegal immigrants & free college = totally awesome economics fer sure

glad you agree

Illegally emigrate to somewhere else.

nah

🗽🤜😢☪️

good lord even your ed-posts are subpar

http://www.businessinsider.com/tax-cuts-fail-to-boost-corporate-investment-plans-fed-survey-shows-2018-3

The word you're looking for is "stock buybacks." Investment has not soared.

Investments, not investment. Orient shoulda said stocks in retrospect

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.

The tax cuts have been priced in for a while and caused much of the gains of 2017

It's nonsensical to pass tax cuts at the top of the business cycle. You are exciting an already overheated market.

I'm just talking about short term here. It hurts long term

but things settled quickly and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

You're poor, we get it.

We can't all be fortunate enough to be the Chosen of G-d my friend

but things settled quickly and it's been smooth sailing ever since

Yeah, smooth sailing in a flat line with no growth.

You might wanna chat with whoever manages your portfolio. I bought AMZ in October at $835 and now it's at $1443

Cherrypicking literally the best non-penny stock performer of the year when you claimed the market as a whole was doing well.

Fuckin' hell.

Sorry, I don't watch much sportsball so I don't get that reference. But anyone with half a brain has made a killing so far in 2018

Some other stocks I'm in balls deep:

FPI NFLX ALGN STX MSFT

All up huge so far this year

You should fire your financial advisor first thing tomorrow morning.

You dumbfuck, I never claimed I was stagnant. We're not talking about individual portfolios. We're talking about the market...which is stagnant as fuck.

Jesus Christ. How do you not understand that the Dow and S&P 500 are both right where they were at on New Year's?

You imbecile. You fucking moron. There is absolutely no difference between making a little money and making a lot of money

There is absolutely no difference between making a little money and making a lot of money

wut

There is absolutely no difference between making a little money and making a lot of money

wow, you must be warren buffett

post positions

Ooh, you didn't do well in this exchange.

uhm, shouldnt you be boycotting netflix for selling sex slaves to afford having the obongos on their teevee shows?

My VTSAX is up 3% YTD. What kind of retarded investments are you holding that haven't gone up?

ITT: retards who do not understand that their portfolio is not the market as a whole.

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.

In b4 "LOL how's your starbux job serving you liberal arts lol!" I am a software engineer. I think you're an edgy teenager trump supporter saying you saved tons just because you saw comments saying that on /r/the_donald.

its hightime we had a downturn in the economy. 10 years of progress is pushing it

Says the one who's staying up all night on a work week to watch numbers slowly become the ones that will be available tomorrow...

Hey lady, this is my fucking NBA playoffs. I already get nagged enough by wife I don't need your sass too

Besides it's not like I have a real job I mostly just attend luncheons and cocktail parties

"trump didn't increase my neetbux so the economy has been stagnant because ive been unable to purchase my MLP figurines" - /u/ItsSugar, probably

Basically all they have is reeeeee drump

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.

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

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

balancing the budget

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!

I know it's hard for you to pay attention to the news when you're so busy driving around West Virginia looking for someone who will sell you pills, but you never heard about Trump's tax cut?

Be sure not to forget extensive gun control. Please run more exclusively on that.

stupid bullshit no gives a fuck about

I mean people do give a fuck about guns, but they're not in favor of gun control

They should run on it anyway. Think of the children. If you don't have a loud and proud gun control stance you hate kids.

ya ya mass shooting are just the price of freedoms were heard it before

balancing the budget

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.

Socialized medicine

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.

increasing taxes

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.

government oversight on the internet

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.

giving illegals free benefits

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.

it works in a homogeneous Nordic countries!!!

everyone wants their precious public services back, solid point!

we clearly barely lived under the tyranny of the internet pre 2015, NN required! !!! Government regulation is literally the only way forward

only amnesty for those whose parents brought them for this wave, but we will def crack down and not let another wave come in bc that’s against our liberal interests of having a Low info voter base of our own. We are super intelligent and don’t much care for having an under class

Congratulations you just flipped a drumphette into being a future loyal liberal voter!

it works in a homogeneous Nordic countries!!!

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.

we clearly barely lived under the tyranny of the internet pre 2016, NN required! !!!

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.

only amnesty for those whose parents brought them for this wave, but we will def crack down and not let another wave come in bc that’s against our liberal interests of having a Low info voter base of our own. We are super intelligent and don’t much care for having an under class

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.

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

FASHISSTTTTT now

Literally what?

why are you wasting effort on /u/dropperneck ? he's a literal fentanyl-shooting, inbred, mouthbreathing, sister-fucking centipedo, way past the point of anything resembling redemption

The people promoting defunding schools?

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.

our liberal interests of having a Low info voter base of our own

of our own is an interesting slip. You're admitting that the Republicans have a low info voter base. I wonder who could that be... maybe white trash degenerate junkies?

Not a slip

actually being so retarded you think socialized medicine only works in nordic countries

what part of entire first world apart from amerishit dont you understand?

Wow libtards rekt! Man I just turned into a white supremacist after reading your comment. Can you pass me some fentanyl?

Which one showed you the light hun?

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.

California races where no Republican

Yes, Republicans really are concerned about Commiefornia

Commiefornia

imagine believing a state in one of the most ruthless capitalist countries of the civilized world has anything to do with communism.

imagine being this far down the rabbit hole.

imagine being a centipedo ;(

"hypocritical champagne socialist-fornia" doesn't have much of a ring to it, sadly.

it soothes my autism though

Accuracy is important bruh

Is this seriously the first time you've heard it called that?

What a overreaction to a common saying

Don't throw a hissy fit over being told "Visit Don't Stay"

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.

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

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.

They're 12% of the population and they're in half our commercials, we're allowed to notice that

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.

Cox lol

That means he basically wins right? I think that's how the system works. What is a runoff?

Ameriblimp politics

I have no idea what's going on, is this the midterm or what?

It's the pre-midterm, we're voting for the candidates that will face off in the midterm

Is it one candidate for each state?

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.

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.

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

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.

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)

How is this different to the Presidency?

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

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?

Not unless California stops being turbo-cucked.

nearly carrying the east coast with its economy unlike red welfare states

cucked

letting fentanyl swilling toothless inbreds take your money while spitting in your face about it is pretty cucked tbrwyrnmn

shit good point

Can't argue with that

nearly carrying the east coast with its economy

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.

unlike red welfare states

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.

Yes, cucked. Bending over for illegal immigration. Cucked.

Yes

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

Look at these idiots over in the_donald thinking that you need to fix an election in commefornia to stop republicans from winning

https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/8oxemf/lnc_magathread_65_primary_results_edition/e06udbg/?context=1

Lmao they seriously think they had any hope of winning in CA.

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.

And with the results in all mention of the primaries has disappeared from their frontpage.

Can we all just agree that Ebola is the official disease of /r/drama already, for fuck sake.

I'm gonna need some JebFlawlessVictory.jpgs
