Wait, Quist is dem?

you forgot:

his policies are preddy good. still, though, i think he'll lose because it's a reliably heavily GOP district. the thing to watch is the margin. within 5 points is very very bad for the GOP

That's going be the story of the midterm elections: Grassroots Democrats getting the cold shoulder from the DNC.

And unfortunately it's going to bite them in the ass in 2018. Not helping progressive dems like Quist only ensures that republicans keep their seats in the House. Either the DNC is incompetent to the point of intellectual disability, or they would rather republicans keep their majority than have progressives in the House. Or both.

gonna go vote for him thursday, I got maybe four or five others to go too
he may be a dem, but gianforte practically bribes voters with large "donations" to their charities/businesses/etc. and still gets poor old republicans to donate towards his superPAC
and as always, remember that every time a smashie tells you voting legitimizes the system, they're endorsing bourgeois politics to stay in bourgeois hands, so go out and vote

It's kind of both, but the 2016 primary proved that they'd rather lose with the donor-friendly candidate than win with a real lefty. They knew Hillary was the weaker candidate to run against the Republicans. Every single poll showed that clearly. They didn't care. Hillary was the cash cow.

I want him to win just so I can see the DNC back the Republican.

I want the whole nation to see the DNC go full SPD.

Democucks serve the same corporate masters as the republishits, and neither want a progressive anywhere near being able to affect their austerity programs. It's certain death to them, because right now they completely control the 'austerity austerity austerity gotta run the government like a business give to rich all the money' narrative, and the second that gets disrupted it's going to unravel the whole fucking program. They'd rather live with Republicans in power for the next century than allow any even close to looking like a leftist in if they can help it at all.

It's both. The real issue though is that the DNC doesn't have the balls to actually challenge a solid red state. The Neoliberals are too pussy to fight the Republican machine.

Except the computer model which showed Hillary dominating Trump in a landslide. This is why she didn't do jack during the campaign. The model said another 2008 Obama sweep was in the cards, so the Democrats sat on their smug asses.

The same thing is happening here. The models say Quist is going to lose, so they're letting him twist in the wind, just like they did with congressional Democrats in 2016.

QUIST WILL WIN
REPUBLICAN OPPONENT BODY SLAMMED A REPORTER

GEG

i just heard this on the news. waiting for the video to drop

the reporter had to be transported to the hospital in an ambulance lmao

AWWWWWWWWWWW SHUCKS!

If grassroots progressives get elected in local and congressional elections, is there any chance of leftists being able to infiltrate democratic leadership and turning it into only a half-bourg party, along the lines of the Labour Party?

what the fuck is wrong with conservatives in the us right now?

What the actual fuck? What a complete and utter manchild. Imagine being a high level politician and having such poor emotional control that you blow the whole race by assaulting a reporter because he asked you about healthcare.

Please lads someone find a video of this.

That and the reporter caught him with ties to Russian companies, including GAZPROM and ROSNEFT

Quist's response.

Yeah, but one follows from the other. Best to transform the party from the bottom up. Focus on supporting good guys for local and state elections (and then congressional districts like this)

So much for the tolerant right

Great minds think alike, amirite?
youtube.com/watch?v=MMKFIHRpe7I

If there is a video I expect to see it everywhere tomorrow, even in the US liberal journalists are not so cucked that they won't do anything about a direct attack on a reporter by a GOP candidate, at least I hope so… you never know

youtube.com/watch?v=9AQkVVnfm9E

shit's pretty dire right now if you're a Paul Ryan-type

Nah, yeah, especially since it was a Guardian journalists.

The mass media might be terrible, but they do stand up for each other. Credit where credit's due.

SAY IT WITH ME NOW
CONGRESSMAN QUIST

Response from 🍀🍀🍀The Resistance™🍀🍀🍀.

Democrats would rather lose than win with candidates that go for anything left of Hillary and the rest of her corporate shills.

His calm, reserved, level-headed demeanor is impressive in its own right, but even more so when contrasted with his opponent fucking body slamming a guy.

Obama was right. As bad as the early press for it may be, the public would make Republican attempts to get rid of it a nightmare after they have had it for a few years. Make no mistake, the ACA is utter shit, but it's still a damn sight better than the nothing that was in place before.

These people would be the first to complain to big brother if they got anywhere near an actual resistance movie.

Fuck MSNBC and fuck its vapid, harmless aestheticism.

/r/The_Doughnot: Right on cue, CNN is smearing Greg Gianforte of allegedly body-slamming a reporter in order to effect the Montana Special Election tomorrow! Get out an vote Montana Pedes!

*movement

Sweet jesus, a Democrat winning in Montana is like… well, it's pretty fucking crazy.

fucking idiots. Do they expect him to say 'my opponent is a fucking lunatic who should be locked up, when there are few if any details known about this right now'

how brain washed can you be

Seriously what the fuck is this Pedes shit?

...

fascists have nothing but disdain for a free press

what a shocker

Bunch of gorillias tbh. They should be kept in pens with PEPE plush toys to fuck.

They can't do anything online but shitpost.

I don't like reporters. And I am a reporter, so I get the distaste for reporters because most suck and have bad personalities and stupid politics.

But these jokers DON'T dislike reporters, as evidenced by their Milo/Cernovich/Hannity dickslobbering. They dislike reporters who don't kowtow to the right. Ben Jacobs in no Ben Jacobin, but he made the mistake in these goons eyes of questioning one of theirs.

He literally said he hadn't heard it before he was asked then said "it should prosecuted"


Gianforte is a typical Republican, though, why would– oh wait.

Why don't you report on my dick, bitch!?

When will Mr. Trump ban the Republican party and /r/The_Donald as terrorist organizations?!

Because I'm too busy reporting on

ur mom

XD

heh

Gianforte campaign is now saying the reporter assaulted him first

Speech is violence.

heh

Can't wait for the Nate Silver analysis post-election about how many votes a pre-election day body slam flips

...

"While the data is sparse, we can draw some conclusions from the numbers gathered so far…"

Typical journalists! Literally beating out the truth from millionaires!

Fug, this is why journalists are the worst.

This dude seem like a pretty alright guy.

Also a good response if its the first he heard about it. Don't want to go to crazy about an unconfirmed report.

Fugg forgot link

Somebody needs to churn this out as soon as the video is released.

You know they are FULL of shit when their press release already reads like a constructed testament for the courts. So what happened between the incident ant the statement: lawyers were called in, the recording was analysed over and over again, a story was constructed to stay somewhat believable accordingly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the local TV crew was bribed already not to release the video.

Bourgeois democracy in action.

...

Yeah good luck with pulling that since there were witnesses

What, are we supposed to believe that the reporter just concocted an elaborate story for character assassination purposes on the spot, while there were witnesses?

Yes, you are supposed to believe that.

Oh.

Well, I don't.

Neither do I.

so much for the tolerant right

literally what

Reporters and their jiu jitsu training these days amirite?

Lol, I love how the aut-right spin machine can never decide between "bad thing is actually good" and "bad thing never happened and is fake news" when they need to cover something up.

Neanderthals are white and redpilled!

those hateful journalists

...

Journalists are the real racists.

...

It's quite fascinating how this has all evolved, imagine something similar for Bush Jr. I wonder how the next neocon Republican's internet base will look like.

its the old "the holocaust never happened but i wish it would happen again" mantra

The fusion of Holla Forums cancer and reddit cancer has metastasized into a level of cancer I would have never though possible. If this doesn't prove the need for gulags then I don't know what will.

Some poor bastards at Osprey are going to have to use their autism to catalog this autism for the benefit of autistic neckbeards(from the future).

What's that?

What the fuck

I'm confused why Jacobs didn't mention the punching

Obviously the Fox team wouldn't lie about something so easily falsifiable.

Probably didn't even feel that wimpy cuck's fists.

Meet the man, the legend:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Gianforte
>Gianforte has outlined his position on retirement by using the Biblical example of Noah. He said, "There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach… The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."

>Gianforte opposes abortion. Gianforte favors removing federal funds from Planned Parenthood.

>Gianforte has also called for changes to the federal Equal Access to Justice Act to reduce environmental litigation, asserting that the act has been abused by "environmental extremists."

>In an April 2017 interview, Gianforte acknowledged human-caused climate change but "did not have specific ideas on how to address climate change." In another April 2017 interview, however, he said that "the climate is always changing," and stated that closing coal-fired power plants would not help mitigate climate change. He supported Trump's repeal of the Clean Power Plan''' introduced by the Obama administration.

>He has called for investments in >>>clean coal

Honestly a big detractor for many in the state will probably be that he's an Italian New jersey carpetbagger

I think you mean

Damn this porky is going down!

(heiled)
Isn't it amazing, after all the jokes about internet populism, experienced mainstream politicians repeatedly have public spergouts like this?

I can assure you GG is neither experienced nor mainstream, though his upcoming stint in the slammer might give him some experience in taking tattooed white dick.

Fuck right off

Capitalism says 'no'

"Progressives" are shit though.

Meh, he's a definite bernard brother so take that how you will. Not gonna sit here and pretend Bernie and his ilk are "real socialists" but grading on a curve they're the best you're gonna get in a country as cucked as the US. Also this guy wears a funny hat which is a plus

Cool, when's the election?

Finally a real life test of the "I could shoot someone on fifth avenue"-argument of purely memetic popularity. I wouldn't be surprised if

QUIST OVERPERFORMING

nytimes.com/elections/results/montana-house-special-election

We're gonna win it lads

UP UP UP

...

==SOON== but seriously this is nothing to get too excited about, it does show there is an appetite for economic populism though

Plus Quist and James Thompson will be able to run again in 2018.

How classcucked are rural burgers? I guess you truly can get away with anything as long as you have an (R) next to your name

Nothing surprises me about this country anymore.

The GOP cunts will make sure healthcare melts down in 2020/2021 so the presidential campaign isn't ruined and it might work.

hey stupid fucks the democrats along with the republicans shilled attacked ads against him throughout the champagne of course he lost

A good chunk of them aren't, wasn't this like 70% early votes or something?

The majority of people in Montana did early voting. The assault happened last night. There were articles citing MANY people calling in to see if they could change their votes, but unfortunately they could not.

You know that fucking jew did it to get the story.

welp

how the fuck did this nigger win

Holy shit is this country class-cucked

I want newfags to leave

If you can't laugh and shit-talk at a fucking body-slamming congressman what can you laugh at?

"There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today. Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach… The example I think of is Noah. How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600.

holy shit

America

Something like 70% of people voted before today

god bless america, this man is now a congressman

i wonder if the brave free speech defenders on the alt right will say anything about this?

Jesus fucking christ America.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

REMINDER THAT WE ARE NOW LITERALLY BODYSLAMMING KIKES AND STILL WINNING GET FUCKED YOU COMMIE FAGGOTS

...

fucking kek Holla Forums really is a young republican club at this point. what a cuckservative

kek, how long until you guys finally stop pretending to be anything but establishment conservative shills and start cheerleading Paul Ryan?

I just like the idea of physically harming jewish reporters and wish it would happen more often.

Really penetrates the membrane

We already knew you were all liberals

I'm so fucking tired of these spooked, reactionary libtards/cuckservatives in the US. If only the proper American Left could organize and coalition itself.

It's not happening bro. Outside of this board all the leftists in America care about is getting high, importing brown people and normalizing increasingly more degenerate sexual behavior. There will be no class revolution.

You will welcome the death squads when they finally come.

lmfao

How is that a bad thing?

DUDE WEED

Gotta draw the line somewhere. I actually supported gay marriage for awhile. But then when I realized they were pushing all this transgender shit on kids I realized that homos need to be rounded up and exterminated.

So much for the rational right

You're not being funny if that's what you're thinking.
Atleast be creative with your shitposting, you honestly think that we haven't had several other Holla Forumskids spewing the same shit on this board already?

lolberts are more "weed lmao" than liberals, and we're not liberals anyway

you guys really need to update your bantz

Nothing funny about it. Homos are disease ridden drug abusing pedophiles and should be killed.

Don't fight it, stupid, use it. Intellectual property would stunt development of weed strains and reducing biodiversity risking extinction. Better living conditions in third world countries halts the need for them to immigrate. The end of capitalism ends corporate discrimination of sexuality.

lolberts are peak liberalism tho. they think that that the rich will magically respect everyones "natural rights" just because the mean ole governemnt is gone.

So, odds on this dude sucking dick in the next 5 years?

if he doesn't already

You do know that for most of human history being disgusted by faggots was pretty much the norm right? I've never understood this if you think buttsex is gross you secretly want it argument.

Those people back in the old days were pretty fucking gay you know, they just never admitted it.

...

idk man. I just find the idea to be pretty gross. I don't go out of my way to defend disease spreading behavior that quite often endangers children

obviously, but i'm not trying to hurt his brain with too many non-burger approved political definitions all at once

No, he realizes we're not SJWs. What he doesn't appreciate is the fact that in a conservative flyover state that's voted Republican every election for decades and flattened Clinton in just last year, a Berniecrat came within single digits of winning.

The tide is turning, we will purge the SJWs, and Trumpcucks are waking up to the real class war.

It's just all so embarrassing. Like I'm seriously trying to imagine myself going to Holla Forums to gloat that Pelosi got reelected or some shit. How do these people ever pretend to be anti-establishment?

Stop having thin skin and stop getting "triggered" by fucking homos you idpol SJW shitface.

Literally just a feels argument. Can you prove it's bad using logic?

Eh. If it was Pelosi against some aut-right meme candidate, I might get enough keks to bother.

Nah. Never going to get me to defend perversion of that level. Putting little boys in dresses and telling them they are girls is disgusting. Dudes giving each other AIDs through anal sex is degenerate. And just because your probably a faggot doesnt me I have to accept you

Objectively not fucking true

anything is good if it upsets the SJWs or whatever magical threat occupies Holla Forumss dipshit young republican mind. they are contrarians by nature but because they are also stupid as hell they decided to double down on the current system if it makes whatever spook they dislike mad

I'm similarly disgusted for a variety of reasons, but politically just don't care, they're like… 0.3% of the population or at most, meme-tier. And there's tons of loathsome behavior that's more prevalent, like alcoholism and broken marriages.

I figure once capitalist alienation, consumerist advertising, and similar disruptions of human society have been put to rest, such minor behavioral aberrations will either vanish naturally or be much easier to seriously treat the underlying causes of.

Journalists are basically the only people hated even more than the politicians by the masses. Why anyone thought this would affect the outcome of these elections is beyond me.

This is usually the end result of taking bourgeois elections seriously.

b-b-but muh spectacle

"It's icky" is now an actual political argument, that's beating "current year" by a margin…

Really make your thoughts.

The Republicans are going to bleed themselves dry in 2018.

keep pushing comrade bernardo

And how is this a bad thing

Honestly the only way the overton window can keep being pushed is if we keeping losing by tiny margins but never win. Because our ideas can keep moving left and we never win so we never get blamed for anything. We can just sit back and say I told you so while the overton window shift slowly left.

special elections always have a ton of outside money coming in tho

What if we get somebody who isn't a meek, apologetic faggot, and is instead willing to risk military coups to force his policies down the throat of the establishment?

Last time we had someone worthwhile he was assassinated by pic related

Body slamming the reporter was the only redeemable thing about any of the candidates, why would I shit talk and laugh at that. I wish these "berniecrats" would have started doing shit like this to the establishment dems and their media allies,

Roosevelt was utter shit, you're clearly new

Holla Forums confirmed for young Republicans club, this would be like us claiming Macron winning was our victory.


Holla Forums you really need to mix it up a bit sometime. Also you can be a leftist and hate gays just stfu about it.

lmao what

sexuality as a defining part of your identity instead of just something you do to get off/make babies is relatively very recent, like last 200 years max
