I’m guessing some of the Rush fans here already saw some of the trending tweets asking Rush to launch Operation Chaos 3 by telling his supporters to vote for Yang. In case you haven’t, here’s the idea. New Hampshire and several of the other upcoming states are open primary states (anyone there that is undeclared can go vote in the Dims primary). By getting a few thousand republicans to vote for the candidate that is most likely to pull voters from Bernie, we can prolong the primary and force the dems to waste their time and money attacking each other and divide their party.
Some History:
I have been listening to Rush Limbaugh since my teens and he made me the man I am today. Dittoheads remember in 2008, when El Rushbo launched “Operation Chaos” and pushed his listeners to vote for Clinton because she would be easier to beat and to prolong the dim primary and divide the party. He proclaimed in 2008, "You are to go out and sustain the primary season by virtue of voting for Hillary Clinton."
In 2016, Rush launched Operation Chaos 2… https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/wp-content/uploads/Operation-Chaos-2016.jpg “it would be in the interests of this program for the Democrat fight to go on and on and on beyond March and April. And if we can figure out a way of doing that, here comes Operation Chaos 2.” Rush later told us to “cross party lines, where permitted, in order to vote for Bernie. At the very least this could help make the Democrat primaries more fun to watch as they stretch on and on and on.....”
Rush is a genius. It worked, his listeners voted Bernie and prolonged the democratic primary, divided the dims and made Hillary much easier to beat.
Both of the RINOS running against Trump, Mark Sanford and Joe Walsh dropped out after getting 0% in Iowa. Trump is now basically unopposed in the republican primary so there is no good reason not to vote in the Dim primary.
So lets all mess with the dims one more time, launch Operation Chaos 3 in Rush’s honor and get a bunch of conservatives to vote for Yang.
Yang is the best target for Operation Chaos 3 for a bunch of reasons:
1. Right now, it looks like Bernie is going to run away with the dim nomination. The polls says that the only candidate that peels away Bernie’s young communist supporters is Yang and that Yang doing well in NH is the only thing that can prolong the Dim primary. If the Dims don’t have a clear frontrunner by super Tuesday, a brokered dim convention is guaranteed and that’s going to split the whole party into many small pieces
2. The recent Emerson College poll found that half of Yang’s supporters wouldn’t consider backing any other Democrat if Yang loses the nomination. These people will likely change their mind if Yang doesn’t get to 15% in NH and drops out next week. But if he gets to 15% (he’s at around 10% in NH right now) he gets a bunch of delegates and a guaranteed slot in all future dim debates which means he will stick it out till the end and his supporters will stay home in 2020 if the DNC doesn’t broker the convention in his favor
3. Milton Friedman was a UBI advocate and suggested abolishing all forms of welfare and just give people the cash each month. If they manage to still starve themselves or OD on drugs so be it. Yang’s policy is that, if the freeloaders want the check, they have to get off of welfare, and its up to them to learn to be responsible for it and if they can’t, too bad, no other handouts. And he also says that only American citizens should ever get UBI or other benefits that were clearly meant for Americans. He has the sanest immigration policy of any of the dims by far. He is the only one that says that we need to increase funding for border security and border patrol
4. Tucker, Ben Shapiro, Scott Adams all say that he is the best of the dem candidates, and the least worst option for us, as well as one of the easiest guys to beat, and certainly better than the socialist in the lead right now. He founded and ran a couple of successful businesses, so he can’t be a complete idiot like the other dims and has some idea about how the economy actually works
5. He got booed at by Dims when he said that he doesn’t want to impeach Trump, got booed at when he said he wouldn’t open a bunch of investigations into Trump if he becomes president, and got booed some more for saying that Trump and his supporters are not racist and Russia didn’t help them win, and he then implied that the people pushing identity politics are the real racists. He also exposes the dim party for what it is, a scheme to just give poor people money and buy their votes by politicians making them promises that they can’t possibly keep.
6. Bloomberg, Biden, Warren, Amy, Steyer and Pete are all splitting the moderate corporate establishment shill vote. Let them fight. Sanders and Yang have the left and the youth vote locked up. Yang doing well and splitting the youth vote would cause the most chaos for the dems by far. If we draw out their nomination process, it forces the campaigns to waste money fighting each other, and deepens the rivalries between the supporters of their candidates. If they have a brokered convention, there's a big chance a huge number of people end up too butt-hurt to vote for whichever candidate gets the nomination and Trump wins in a landslide. A fourth of Sanders supporters stayed home in 2016 because the nomination was stolen from them. If there is a long primary with a brokered convention with Sanders in the lead and the nomination is stolen from Sanders again, all of the socialists will see the democratic party for the corporate tool that it is and will stay home in 2020 (or form their own socialist party) and a landslide MAGA victory is guaranteed. The only way Sanders won't walk away with the nomination in a month is if Yang gets a bunch of delegates by getting 15% in any of the early states (NH, SC or Nevada). If Yang gets delegates, his supporters will continue to back him, he stays in till the end taking Sanders voters and there is six month long primary with the dims fighting each other the whole time ending in a rigged convention that will piss off everyone. If Sander's only competition for the youth vote (Yang) drops out and endorses Sanders, the DNC will throw in the towel and anoint Sanders the nominee and start spinning his socialism into some utopian European grand vision. Sanders is already 50% likely to win. And if it's not Sanders, the next odds on favorite is a brokered convention
Trump is basically unopposed in the republican primary so there is no good reason not to cross sides and vote for Yang in the Dim primary. Operation Chaos 3.0 Let’s GO! Please spread the word, and if you happen to be a Rush 24/7 member (I so badly wish I could afford Rush 24/7), please use your member benefit to email Rush the above idea. You can copy my argument above verbatim. Just paste it and email it to him. I do not want a socialist like Bernie getting the nomination and having a shot at the presidency. If god forbid he wins, the US will turn into a banana republic.
Operation chaos III
YANG GANG BANGERS!!!
Well, it didn’t work out too well in 2008, did it?
Chaos 3 should be to go for Sanders. His support in the south is quite weak, and Sanders would have strong headwinds against the strong party machinery. Pitch the Party apparatus against the crazy left yahoos. Trump wins against either resulting candidate.
Sure was a moment of utter brilliance when Rush listeners and some conservatives decided to help Obama over Clinton in the 2008 primaries because he was "beatable."
Worked out so, so well, you machiavellian tacticians.
Voting for Bernie will further shatter the democrat party.
Seriously
Interesting first post. Welcome to FR.
Bernie is the one to run against.
That’s who I’m going to vote for in VA primary.
No, Dr. Limbaugh wanted everybody to vote for Clinton.
I’m thinking about changing my party registration to Democrat so I can vote for Bernie in NY.
South Carolina is an open primary state however there is a bill in the State legislature to close this year’s primary and reopen them for 2024.
There’s an operation chaos movement here to vote for Bernie.
Dangerous game IMHO.
noob
It failed in 2008. Obama was worse than Hillary would have been.
Did you know about Mayor Pete’s dad? Lots more out there Search “mayor Pete communism”
South Bending Peter’s Dad.....apparently he’s another red diaper baby.
Xxxxxx
Communist “Manifestivity”
On October 30 and 31, 1998 the Brecht Forum presented the “Communist Manifestivity to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Communist Manifesto” at Cooper Union’s Great Hall, New York.
Individual endorsers of the event included Joseph Buttigieg.[4]

McCain would have thrown the game against Hillary too. I thought it was dumb to even pretend to support her. Obama was lights out better as president than the “beast.”
I posted this earlier on a different thread. I think it is a better idea.
Cast your vote based on the 15% rule. The democrats changed their primary systems to proportional voting after the last election. So every candidate gets delegates based on their percentage. They put in a floor of 15%. To get delegates they must have at least 15% of the vote. My theory is that we want a contested convention with as many candidates as possible with delegates. If we vote for the candidate nearest to 15% in the state polls before the primary we can keep as many of them alive as long as possible. I say nearest to 15% because all polls have a margin of error. So a candidate polling 16.5% might only get 14.9% of the vote and fail to get delegates. By keeping as many of these losers alive as possible hopefully all the way to the convention we create disunity and distrust. Imagine if we could keep six candidates viable, Crazy Bernie, Mayor Pete, Liawatha, Bite Me, Klobuchar and mini-mike. The convention goes to a second or third vote. Deals get made, hopefully, several of them get screwed over. Disunity and an even bigger victory in November.
My district in Texas has no primary races of interest to me therefore I can indulge in this. By all means though if you have a chance to vote against the GOPe in the primary that is where you need to cast your ballot.
That said, it sounds as though from your post that you are actually a Yang operative trying to buoy his failing candidacy by duping gullible Republicans. If Yang wants our vote, he should change parties and drop the forced cash redistribution shtick. He would have a much better chance getting elected to any political office as a Republican that we would as an "oppressor class" Democrat in their world of identity politics.
Welcome to FR. I read your post and immediately thought - this person is new here and has an odd agenda. AFTER that I looked at when your joined. We’ll see.
Plenty of people register as democrsts just so they can vote in ny dem primaries.
