The Congressional Elections Thread (the Senate and the House of Representatives)
08-07-2016, 09:48 AM
I'm starting this thread to keep track of both Senate and House of Representatives elections throughout the fifty states, as a hopefully ongoing RVF project.
If one lesson is to be taken from the 2016 Presidential Race, it is that the establishment in Congress is willing to shamelessly cuck to destroy a populist candidate within its own party.
The possibility of this dynamic has to be recognized as a primary weakness, rooted out, and greatly eliminated by focusing on the U.S. Senate elections, which occur every two years (Senators are elected in staggered elections for 6 year terms), and House of Representatives elections that occur every two years.
The idea is to track the formally stated policy positions, as well as voiced support or party-treason toward our candidates, from any sitting Senator or Representative as well as those of their challengers in election years.
I'm of the opinion that its time for the base to bring an A-level political game, and mobilizing an informed base for Congressional elections is the way to accomplish that.
Granted, it is a little late this season to make any significant inroads in many states. In these elections, many incumbents will be running unchallenged from within their own party. However, I submit that it is important to start now for the next election.
It is also important to let treacherous Senators and Representatives know our displeasure in this election season, and that we will be working to unseat them in the next election.
In order to make the thread searchable, via a quick reading scan, for any RVF member to be able to find updated information for the state that he is in:
I only suggest that, as a general format, we title posts with the bolded State names, ie: New York.
Under which, we can detail information about sitting congressmen, their challengers, or other pertinent information for that state as warranted.
Of course, posts that aren't meant to supply such information need not follow this format.
