>On November 6, 2018, 470 seats in the U.S. Congress (35 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for election.
>The Republican Party holds 51 seats in the Senate. Democrats hold 47 seats, and the remaining two are held by independents who caucus with the Democratic Party The Democratic Party faces greater partisan risk in 2018, as they are defending 26 seats—two of which are held by independents—while Republicans are defending nine seats. The Democratic Party must defend seats in 10 states that supported Donald Trump (R) over Hillary Clinton (D) in 2016.
>Republicans also control the U.S. House of Representatives. As of October 2018, the Republican Party was in the majority, holding 235 seats to Democrats' 193 seats, with seven seats being vacant.

Is this make or break for trump? Since the left hates him if they get the the majority they will shoot down everything that he does and he can only use executive orders, is that right?
>>183459 Given the present credit bubble and one of the longest bull markets in history, a Democratic victory in the House may be a blessing in disguise. If the economy plummets next year, which is a possibility, Trump could blame obstructionist Democrats and their financial backers. A completely Republican government would work against us in such a case as it would appear to be the culpable agent.
>>183462 >If the economy plummets next year, which is a possibility, Trump could blame obstructionist Democrats and their financial backers. That's exactly what he's going to do. I guarantee it.
>>183481 Wonder if it is an preemptive strike from the left to seed doubt about the upcoming election result. I have a hard time believing it is because Beto got that many votes.
>>183493 >but funny if true Actually I am thinking in a sinister explanation. What about if this "mistake" is a delivered action from a worker at the TV station, to tip the people that everything have been set in advanced? What about the non uncommon idea the the electoral system is a sham to trick the plebs they are on charge?
>>183525 I hope people starts listen more to their elders and learn from their wisdom and vote republican. Instead of normal cycle I think it is more an path of maturing that people go through. If you look at the women graph I like the suddenly shift towards roughly 50/50 Dem and Rep after the age of 40. So might look like that 40 is a magic age when it comes to maturity.

>>183571 We are not even technically allowed to be drunk when we vote. I Noway it is illegal to sell alcohol in shops the day before an election. Bars and restaurants are allowed to sell alcohol to guests. But as a citizen you can't buy alcohol to take home the day before an election.
>>183575 In the late 1800s parties used to hand out beer and shoot fireworks to encourage voter turnout. Turnout back then was higher than it is today despite no women and less blacks voting. Parties would sometimes hunt down people the census missed to try to squeeze out votes. Granted things were less professional and more corrupt. People also didn't vote for as many positions directly. Regardless its a really interesting part of American political history.
>>183584 We probably did something similar, it is just not taught to us in school. Instead "mother state" decided that we are not allowed to drink on election day anymore (and discourage drinking the day before).

>The Results Bot is showing the first emoji of the night. Our Deluxe forecast this morning showed a 7 in 8 chance for Democrat Joe Donnelly to win re-election to the Senate and listed the race as “lean Democrat,” but ABC News is projecting that he will lose to Republican Mike Braun. This comes as a surprise to Results Bot. KEK, salt from 538.
>>183699 Goddamn I hope it's true and not just the shit connection I've been having all night. If true then it's just like 2016. Anyone remember Buzzfeeds stream cutting out at like 11pm est? Gave me electrolytes for the next month.
>Polls have closed in North Dakota, a state Democrats need to win the Senate vote in to keep their increasingly narrow path to a majority in the Senate open. But preliminary exit poll data doesn’t look very promising so far. Democrat Heidi Heitkamp has 38 percent of the vote so far while Republican Kevin Cramer has 62 percent. (Again, these are preliminary numbers and could change as votes get counted).
>Here’s a reminder of why these good results for Republicans in the Senate contests are such a big deal: There are lots of things the Senate can do regardless of how the House turns out, namely confirm judges and other nominees. Even if the House flips control, as long as Mitch McConnell is in charge, Republicans still have the ability to shape the judiciary. A Democratic House would have investigative powers but no real ability to unilaterally implement policy. 538
>>183752 Why is that? The gap keeps increasing with the Republicans getting more seats, so why does the forecast keep moving in favor of the Democrats?
>With less than 1 percent of precincts reporting in Missouri’s Senate race, Republican Josh Hawley leads incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill 51 percent to 46 percent. If McCaskill loses, Democrats essentially have no path to a majority in the Senate, but they will need to staunch the bleeding if they want to have a chance of control two years from now. https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2018-election-results-coverage/
>>183793 The Hell is Rarara or whatever that Acronym is
>>183790 Wrong, it increases the chance that democrats will go back to putting a happy face on White marginalization, and thus decreasing the chance of a civil war occurring at all
>>183797 They won't want to rebel so long as they have faith that everything will be okay. The key to that is to make the democrats freak out and expose their true intentions. That requires the Democrats losing
>>183801 Whites haven't revolted in South Africa. They haven't revolted in Europe where things are worse in terms of tyranny. Just being oppressed isn't good enough to create a revolt - that will win. You have to create the spirit to fight back first, and that is why America is closer to revolution than Europe, which is more oppressed
TL;DR: Republicans win the Senate, Democrats win the House. Small flip-flop, shit continues to not get done in terms of social legislation. Shit continues to get worse on the subjects that matter (banking and foreign/domestic power).
In terms of federal funding, you'd think that Democrats would provide significant traction, but the reality is that both parties have voted unanimously for policies that favor (((bankers))) and (((military contractors))). Ultimately, not much will change. Even in terms of foreign relations, this will just mean that Democrats will wag their finger at Pissrael and proceed to not have an actual impact on foreign relations with (((them))).
Reminder that Democrats winning both the House and Senate still wouldn't make a difference in terms of what's killing this country and who runs it.
>>183808 >to send the 1st Marine Division in I am blackpilled about ZOGbots. They are brainwashed to think they are rightful and the "good guys", even the NPCs regard them as trustful and the backbone that keep them safe. Reality is far from that. ZOGbots are loyal to ZOG, not to the people. Therefore, consider them as a threat and necessary tools for tyranny and White enslavement.
>>183813 I think they have gotten us half way there.
The country we need to model is Spain, where after the Leftists won a major election, the Nationalists in the military staged a coup. What we need is to convince 30% of the country (at least) that it is better to break up the country than to accept the Leftists winning the House, Senate, and Presidency all at once. If we do that, we could have a revolution or at least a succession of Red States. If the Left gets that kind of power and we don't have enough people and the leadership willing to do it, then White America is gone the way of South Africa, and there will be no salvation
I don't think we are there yet. We need more time for people to see how crazy the Left is. We need more salty defeated leftists to show America who they are. And above all else, we need more time to become organized, find leaders, and spread ideas. And that is why we must keep the Left out of power for as long as possible
>>183822 With the AfD votes recently the percentages were almost identical between native and foreign. So right leaning politics will probably still happen regardless of origin like >>183779 . So racial percentages might be somewhat a separate issue.
The US government's currency has been owned by a (((private banking entity))) since the start (Federal Reserve).
Both "parties" exist to oppose measures by one another, such that they stalemate one another quite frequently on the re-granting of civil rights. Marijuana/drug legalization, unrestricted firearms ownership, demilitarization of police, reduced sentences for victimless crimes, so on so forth are GOOD for everyone. These policies being out of the control of a central government, would be only bad for a certain group of (((bankers))).
I see you shills in the thread singing the praises of one party of puppets. Kindly fuck back off to your Shekelberg Pissrael masters for your shekels.
>>183812 Ideology nowadays is a poor label of character, but individuals who (keyword) *intelligently* prescribe to National Socialism are an exception. It is equally-courageous to being an atheist or a worshiper of old gods in heavily-christcucked territories. They risk violent action, loss of career and social standing, so on so forth, just for a perception they built from experience. They are witch-hunted and targeted like nobody else in this day and age.
>>183816 Agreed. Marines are so. Some I've met are good and even intelligent people who kept their heads down and ignored the brainwashing, but overbearingly apparent is the presence of mindless obedience and aggressive enforcement of such. It's especially inconvenient when they have positions of social power or standing.

>>183837 Yes and no. If you exploit the Left and Right division and radicalize one side to at least 30ish percent, then you can have a civil war, as I stated in >>183817. It's not likely but it is plausible.
If you just declare that (((everyone))) is a (((Zionist kike shill))), including the people who are the most primed and most likely to be among your loyal backers in future civil war, then you will find that you have in effect rejected everyone, and you will have no supporters

>(((Zionist kike shill))) Not quite, but you are suspicious. Are you racially impure?
>>183787 This only means that we must double the efforts if we want 2020 to work out. Otherwise, the west is as good as dead as we welcome another dark age.
>>183839 >And a failed civilization. Is it not already failed? The West have been taken over by dark forces and to hope for democratic means to save us is unrealistic. Better to detonate the System all around the Western World. At least we will have a chance to rebuild being free from kikes. Otherwise genocide and slavery is our sure fate.
>>183843 I am a Southern White. In any event, I think most predictions of a civil war are severely optimistic. It is possible, but the path to successful revolt is narrow, and requires an understanding of just how bad things really are. The people of America are blue pilled to a degree that is difficult to fully comprehend. To win, you can't preach only to the true believers, you can't dismiss everyone for not being ideologically "pure" enough, and you have to accept that even when you can get a revolt, you won't necessarily have it all.
I wouldn't worry too much on losing the house. Remember, except for 5 states, representatives only have 2 year terms meaning come 2020 there will be another opportunity to remove the dems with perhaps better Representatives than republican Representatives. Plus come 2020 it will be Trump's re-election so there will be even more encouragement for right wingers to go to the polls. Not to mention the senate is still secure and the supreme court is now on the gop's side. Anything the dems try in the house will simply be countered by the Senate, Trump, and or the Supreme Court. If anything, this just shows what we will need to do come 2020 and better prepare for it.
And yes, yes, I know the jew owns both so none of this even matters. I'm just telling you how it is at the current moment.
>>183850 The United State Census does not accept "mestizo" as a race, and so counts millions of Latino non-whites as "White." If you look up the percentage of non-hispanic whites, you will see that it is actually around 64. Hispanic Whites are usually actually mixed race mestizos and they have a separate cultural identity even where they are 100% European
>>183845 There will never be a period of time where humans won't be in conflict with each other. Remember we are all born communist babies whose parents give to them for free in proportion to how much they cry.
The best we can hope for is for the battles to not be kinetic or other directed harm.
Utopia will never ever happen. Dualities never go away.
>>183848 >I think most predictions of a civil war are severely optimistic. Agreed 100%. Civil War needs financing and supplies, and ZOG would never ever would support us. However, racial war is a totally different situation, the ethnic division lines are very clear and the fight will extend all around in a chaotic manner. Even if commie Whites don't agree, their choices are pretty limited, it will be to join other Whites or to be slaughtered. It is a neat way to enroll those not interested. Don't you think?
>>183854 A two sided race war is not a great idea. If you say "Either all whites must die or all non-whites must die," you force all non-white to fight against you, otherwise they will die. You place their backs against the wall, that will be dangerous. Second, 1/3 of Whites will chose Death. They will willingly support White genocide. This might be hard to believe, but it is very true. So "kill all non-whites" results in a scenario where more than half off all people in the US will try to kill off the resisting whites, and then later the Whites who aided them.
The better strategy, strangely enough, is a one-sided race war. It's not a war to kill all non-whites, it's a war to save Whites. We are simply acting to protect our future, and do not wish harm to other races. In this Scenario, one third of Whites will still try to kill the other 2/3 (and later themselves), but non-whites won't have an existential dog in the fight. Many of them are convinced Neo-Marxists and will have to be fought against, but perhaps 10% or more will fight to secure the existence of the White race (because they hate communists too) and many more will not participate in the fighting either way. In this scenario, you have something like 44% of the populace fighting against 33%. That is a winnable fight, and the sort of odds you should try to ensure before you start
>>183852 You are thinking of another person, I just got on to see the updates of the election. Of course hard to prove since vpn's make it look like a new guy is talking so I'll let you be the judge.
>>183855 Agreed. A 100% white Bavarian genome ethnosatte will be a bitch to achieve. Getting whites back to at least a 75% majority again is more attainable. It's not about compromise, but what is reasonably attainable.
>>183855 >Second, 1/3 of Whites will chose Death. They will willingly support White genocide. This might be hard to believe, but it is very true. I believe it. Lack of tribal awareness and stupidity is what brought us to the present situation.
>The better strategy, strangely enough, is a one-sided race war. It's not a war to kill all non-whites, it's a war to save Whites. Well, here I must tell you are wrong. Mestizos and the rest don't give a damn for White's well-being, on the contrary, they see Whites with envy and contempt. Most non Whites are in White countries to leech and to take over, not to integrate in a subordinated fashion. They are impervious to the left-right paradigm because they are here to own cars, televisions, and phones; nothing else. Trust me, I have lived many years among these lemmings and I know intimately their thinking. Whites are own their own.
>>183852 >Hispanic Whites are usually actually mixed race mestizos and they have a separate cultural identity even where they are 100% European Not quite. In Argentina, south of Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, Whites form ethnic pockets with minimal mixing and they are proud of it, and when they go in vacations, Europe is their destination because is the origin of their culture; or what is left of it. And looking closely you will find from Spaniards and Italians, to Germans and Russians.
>>183863 >Mestizos and the rest don't give a damn for White's well-being >They are impervious to the left-right paradigm because they are here to own cars, televisions, and phones; nothing else. I never said they were our equals. A number of them are rabid marxists, and a plurality don't necessary agree with the true Leftism, but will support them because they are the Left's loyal lapdogs. But some of them know damn well that when the white population is marginalized the cars, televisions, and phones will not come in as great of numbers, and they know that there will be no future under a "green" economy or Communism. These people could even fight for us, even if they fight to secure the future of their economic situation and not the future of the White race. We will need all the help we can get. Another large portion doesn't care, doesn't like either faction, or will accept rebel rule where rebel force is superior, and that is good as well.
Think of it this way. In the event of an actual war, the Deep South would be the "core territories" of any rebellion, and would be needed to supply and reinforce front lines elsewhere. These areas from Texas to Alabama to Florida have huge non-white populations, nearly half. Do you want these areas to become like the Jungles of Vietnam with infinite non-white partisans? It's better just to give the non-whites the option "Accept our rule of this area or die" rather than the option "fight to try and kill all of us, or die," because I promise you that in both cases, they will chose life and comfort.

What if there is a Right WIng conspiracy because the whites are too much to the Left?
>>183863 Integration with non-whites is impossible. However, it may be possible to secure a long-term solution with a compromise by giving them their own ethnostate. Means building more walls but means whites won't have to deal with them from then on.
>>183871 Muslims that come to the United States side with neo-marxism because they like to think of themselves as constantly oppressed and marginalized in this new place they willingly chose to move to. They support the marginalization of whites and the Western world. They also are fond of leftwing economics.
Yes, Muslims in muslim nations are basically Rightwing Reactionaries who are extremely conservative. Good for them, but I don't want anything to do with those parts of the world, and they can stay there and do their own thing.
>>183870 Their thinking has been influenced by American neo-marxists in many cases. Just because a hispanic person is 100% European does not mean that they will identify as such, although many may.

And the house is up for reelection in 2020 anyway.

>So the Republicans will hold on to the Senate and the Democrats will take the House.
>I think a lot of people voted Republican today, despite being told by virtually everyone that only a moral reprobate and a mental defective would do so, not because they sat down and studied policy papers, or even because they're particularly enthusiastic about the candidates.
>They voted straight Republican as a middle finger to the progressives who dominate the media, academia, and culture.
>They look at the Democrats as the champions of those who shout down speakers and otherwise intimidate people into silence on college campuses, who ignorantly and self-righteously blame white men for every evil under the sun, who have encouraged the transformation of America into battleground of squabbling tribes, and who accuse normal people of "hate" for not jumping on every leftist bandwagon within the first ten seconds.
>Republicans, so often craven and unprincipled, are unworthy recipients of these people's votes, but recipients they surely are.
>On policy, though, even in the age of Trump, the parties are not as far apart as they first appear, as Jeff Deist noted today:
>By any objective measure, the ideological and policy disagreements between the national Democrat and Republican parties are not significant. Both accept the central tenets of domestic and foreign interventionism, both accept the federal government as the chief organizing principle for American society, and both view politics simply as a fight for control of state apparatus.
>Similarly, differences between policies actually enacted by Mr. Trump and the existing Congress and those likely to have been enacted by Mrs. Clinton and the same Congress are fairly small. While Mr. Trump alarms the Left with his tone and tenor, his actual views on taxes, spending, debt, trade, guns, immigration (the "Muslim ban" was neither) and war (unfortunately his good campaign rhetoric is largely abandoned) plainly comport with the general thrust of Clinton's neo-liberalism.
>Today's ugly midterm elections are about style rather than substance, party rather than principle, and power rather than ideas. Americans do not much argue about whether we are governed by DC, and only slightly over how we are governed by DC. But we argue viciously about who governs us from DC.

>This is the one solution that will not be considered.
>(Isn't that politics in a nutshell, by the way? There's one sensible approach, and that's the one you know has zero chance of being implemented.)
>We've been told since fourth grade that decentralization is for hicks, losers, and "racists," and that human progress demands that 320 million people be ruled from a single city.

>>183894 they can increase gridlock and obstruction a bit to fuck up the economy but the senate is more important for things like appointments and it'll be less stressful to get those through now that we got 3 seats worth of breathing room
>>183887 You need to go back. I'm black pilled and I am not as miserable as you. You have to be patient, the change takes time, lots of boring, tedious, mind numbing, time. Also see >>183896
>>183897 it's all about context anon, for the previous president's first midterm the nigger lost the democrats 63 house seats and 9 senate seats. Compared to that losing 30 or so house seats with gains in the senate is a relatively good result for us. There are a lot of problems with this though Pelosi is now speaker of the house and crazy freaks like adam schiff are in leadership roles but you could argue that's good PR for us, this will also be terrible for the economy especially with the Fed raising interest rates 4 times a year
also we lost alot of ground in Iowa, but Steve King held the 4th district which is important because he's actually /ourguy/ unlike all these rinos and neocons we had no choice but to support. There's more to valor than fighting only when you think you'll win and retreating when you'd lose as far as losing battles go this election was worthwhile
>>183912 Not very much, tbh. This is what happens every time in the election cycle. Republicans could have saved some house seats if they'd worked together to accomplish more in Congress while they had both wings, imo. They didn't have very many legislative victories to brag about: they're strongest issues were immigration and the state of economy; that's why the President's state-wide level campaigning helped them in the Senate.
>>183887 What you're feeling is basically war-weariness. It's frustrating and emotionally draining to have to continuously struggle against bullshit when you know the only reward is going to be a small victory followed by more bullshit to struggle against. We've all been conditioned by Hollywood kikery to view struggle as one yuge epic battle where you fight, it's exciting, and then you win and everything is great from there, but that's not how it works. You fight battles wherever you can, sometimes you win and sometimes you don't, the main thing is to keep struggling and keep gaining ground. You don't ultimately lose until you give up and accept defeat. Wars are won one hill at a time. Attached is an image that may cheer you up.
All things considered this is actually a pretty good result for 2018. The House election math always favored the Democrats, the fact that they had to spend this much money and try this hard to win what should have theoretically been an easy win for them is more telling than whatever spin the MSM tries to put on this.
What irritates me is that from a purely rational standpoint there is absolutely no reason the Republicans shouldn't have won nearly every single one of these races. The country has objectively and measurably improved as a direct result of Republican control, even taking into account the dysfunction of the Republican Congress and the difficulty they had getting anything done.
There is no rational reason on earth why Trump and the Republican party's approval rating shouldn't be in the upper eighties at least, especially when you have the Obama years to compare the current era to, and yet here we are. The Democrats have literally nothing to offer except a visceral hatred of Trump based on feelings, and that kind of empty emotional nonsense works just well enough on shitskins and dumb suburban boomer women and fragile millennials to be effective. Their coalition is basically made up of the emotional and the ignorant. Having to share a country with these morons is like having a retarded, crippled siamese twin. I'm not angry or even demoralized about the way this turned out, just drained and weary, about how I'd feel after spending 9 hours babysitting a room full of toddlers.
In the grand scheme of things though I think we did alright and I think we're going to do alright. Any legislation they try to pass will die in the Senate or get vetoed by Trump, and Trump can still appoint and confirm judges which is probably more important than legislation anyway. If anything I think this country should be repealing laws, not creating new ones. Also I have a suspicion that this is going to be the point where infighting among the left is going to start being more prominent. Hopefully the asinine theatrics the Democrat House is going to spend the next two years wasting everyone's time with will make more people realize how obviously awful they really are.
>>183893 >How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World Sounds primarily about Stoicism. Would recommend "The Meditations" by marcus aurelius. Possibly also Letters from a Stoic by Seneca.
Stoicism flourished in Greece when it was under Roman rule. The Greeks were fairly powerless under Roman rule, stoicism was their way of getting through it. Parallels could be drawn to modern day.
>>183931 I've never heard of him so I guess we'll see. I actually rather liked Sessions, I think he took a lot more shit than he deserved and made a good attorney general. If he hadn't made the mistake of recusing himself from the Russia probe way back when this likely wouldn't have been necessary.
Well poners, I am bringing a hard blackpill. It is about "demographic is destiny" and why without a White revolution and ZOGs agents at the helm of any White country, we are already fucked. In the case of this election, Trump ignored his White base and pandered non stop to niggers, and it didn't work. The same goes for other ethnic groups. It is 10 minutes video made for one of our guys, I believe. Worth to watch, but the aftertaste will be bitter.
>>183999 You say it was a blackpill, yet I feel nothing but low simmering anger. Something tells me that this could help in redpilling normies, but I'm not sure how beyond the obvious route of spreading it in the ways that we can. Can someone with a bigger brain than me help out with this?
