And, despite my many other commitments, I've given thoughtful responses to all questions asked, knocked on Atlasians' PM boxes, canvassed in IRC and tried to keep my speeches snappy. Labour, get on my level.
But remember, we're a "machine" as you so said, so we've done all of that and more, of course. Oh, and I - unlike you - have managed to take the high ground and not run a single-issue campaign where I complain about
another political party.
Can you seriously articulate one full post in this campaign (
or any campaign) without attacking
Labor? I seriously don't think you know how. Also, if you lose, can we expect another one of these?
SPEECH ON THE GOVERNOR'S RACE
...
To Arturo Belano, who probably can't get out of bed every morning if the Labour Politburo did not command him to do so;
To TNF, the Midwest's original carpetbagger, whose respect for our region amounts to using it as a rotten borough for his radical communist agenda;
To Windjammer, our modern Beria, an enabler of Midwestern Labour since early 2014, as incompetent a legal defender as he is a brilliant puppeteer;
To GAWorth, who fashions himself as an independent insider, but can never shake his total ignorance of economics;
And to Lebron Fitzgerald, the worst Midwestern Governor in recent memory, whose reign of ignorance, intimidation and illegality even alienated the Labour Politburo from him, deservedly banned from political activity in the near future.
I will wish Governor Gass well in his endeavours, mostly because up to this point he has done nothing of note. But take heed - look at the people in your party who have ruined our region. Are these the people you want to be surrounded with? I have brought to you a competitive campaign, talent from regions far away, and a substantial policy debate. I have brought to you civil society. It is your choice to ignore it, or to reach out to real Midwesterners and change our region for the better.
There are going to be a whole lot more voters this time to denigrate if you plan on doing so.
