To vote for Reaganfan in the Federalist primaries.

Well all except for Ben, he's going to vote for Duke.

[PJ]

3/5 are trolls. Ben and Oakvale are actually serious and fit into the party as well as Duke does.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

To vote for Reaganfan in the Federalist primaries.

Well all except for Ben, he's going to vote for Duke.

If that's the case, I'd recommend the Federalists put some rules in place.  People shouldn't switch parties for this stuff.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Yep. It's unfortunate that we can't trust the good nature of individuals, but apparently we can't. I don't believe this series of events is an organized scheme, but we've seen the plotting that Labor tends to champion, so now that the floodgates are open, we will have to put up some kind of barrier. It's too bad.

[Goldwater]

I'm pretty sure that Ben is legitimate. Oakvale might also be legitimate, although some of his past actions make me skeptical towards him. But yeah, the rest are clearly trolls and we should do something to prevent this in the future.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

The point is though, we can't in good faith start deciding who is and is not a "legitimate member," even if it's obvious. We need a system that doesn't discriminate and treats all members fairly.

[tmthforu94]

FWIW, I don't think this was an organized scheme by the Labor Party.

[Lief 🗽]

I supported ReaganFan for president and wanted to see him on the ballot, so I assumed I was allowed to register as a Federalist to vote for him in the primary. Is there some rule against this? This occurs frequently in real life (plenty of people registered as Dems to vote for Obama in 2008 for example).

I'm not even a member of the Labor Party. I'm a Cultural Marxist.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I had suspected that this was an Operation Cottinfield-esque plot to infiltrate the Federalists or vote to nominate someone who's perceived as less electable than their opponents.  If not, I apologize for making that assumption, but I thought this was something that should have been pointed out.

Yeah, and how many of them unregistered as Democrats the day after?

I don't know what your point is? People registering in parties they don't normally support to vote for a specific candidate they support is a normal thing.

[Oakvale]

I can't speak for the others, but I'm a sincere and legitimate member of the party. Granted, I did register officially largely to vote for Maxwell under the assumption that he'd run but I probably have more in common politically with the Federalists (or maybe the DRs?) than anyone else at this point.

[ZuWo]

Broadly speaking the Federalist Party stands for strong autonomous regions and fiscally responsible and sustainable policies. If you don't share these ideals the Federalist Party is probably not the right party for you.

[Napoleon]

Don't call me a troll. I've been a party member longer than the likely Federalist Presidential nominee and supported more Federalists in recent elections than the likely VP nominee. So maybe if we want to question any credentials we can start there.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

With the exception of Oakvale - whom I tried to convince not to leave Labor when he did - none of these people have had any real involvement with the Labor Party in some time.

Anyway, I'm not sure why Federalists, who tolerated opebo being a member of their party for months, are complaining and attempting expulsions now.

You never know what you will get when you are dealing with Opebo. But he was fairly consistent on the issue of the court and thus by extension was willing to support our candidates against those he felt were less reliable. I contacted him in advance of the October elections in the context of this issue and recommended that he get involved. I anticipated he would just send some PMs to a few people, and was caught by surprise when he changed parties soon after. Aside from the local races where he voted as a leftist still, Opebo was hardly a problem.

Opebo agreed with us on a key issue and it was his primary concern to the extent that it rendered him an ally on most Federal races. Do these Reaganfan supporting leftists really embrace Reaganfan's views, or is it just ironic support? Some of them have been pretty vocal opponents of regions and regionalism, a key component of Federalism. Nappy did share the same view of the court as Opebo did, so at least he has that going for him if he still holds that view of course.

RIP Federalist Party

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I've flirted with this party for a while; I'm officially switching to vote for Duke.

[Supersonic]

I'm a Reaganfan backer and I haven't changed party on a whim.

Can I be showered in praise please?
