Earl for Mideast Assembly

[Hatman 🍁]

Hello comrades!

I am announcing my triumphant return to Atlas politics!
 
I've been drafted to run for Mideast Assembly. Since there are now six candidates, I suppose I should at least do a little bit of campaigning. So if you want a leftist majority, please vote for me.

I'm sure there will be lots of questions about my candidacy .

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

What is your opinion of the bills currently before the assembly to expand high speed rail and subsidize charter schools?
Also, you are the lone member of the WSR Party. Could you explain how that differs in ideology from the mainstream Labor Party?

Thanks!
-Harry S Truman

I of course support any plans to expand light rail and any other form of transportation that will ween us off our reliance of the most vile form of transportation, the gasoline-powered automobile. As for education, I will only vote in favour of bills that move us toward abolishing private schools.  I support the principle of equality of opportunity, which can only be guaranteed with an education system that offers the same curriculum to all pupils at the elementary level (notwithstanding students with certain disabilities). As such, I oppose the concept of charter schools.

There are 7 candidates I believe now, four of them on the right. I wish you luck!

My election is critical then! The vileness of Conservatism must be defeated at every opportunity!

Does this mean you want to abolish parochial schools or ban homeschooling due to religious conscience?

If parents wish to indoctrinate their children with the their fantasy sky deity beliefs, then they are free to do that in addition to public schooling.

Are you calling Yahweh some fantasy sky deity?

Endorsed!

Woohoo!

Today is a great day Washburnist Socialism.  I'd like to thank my comrades in the Labor Party for their support. In exchange for their help, I will back their candidate for speaker of the Assembly.

Already exchanging politic favors? What a shameful precedent to set, Assemblyperson

Congrats Hatman!

In my defence, this "political favour" would surprise no one.

[Adam Griffin]

Congratulations on giving your opponents a proper spanking!

[Flake]

Congratulations!

[Hatman 🍁]

Bump.

Comrades, let's ensure we keep a leftist majority in the Assembly!

My rhetoric may be divisive, but is necessary to call out the heartless libertarians and their awful policies and to keep them in check. Vote for me to ensure their power continues to be curtailed. 

[Boston Bread]

Congrats! Hopefully you'll be in the mood of introducing bills once the new Assembly begins, now that our majority has been solidified.

Thanks. We'll have to see what kinds of things Harry will tolerate, as the "Justice Kennedy" of our assembly.

[Adam Griffin]

Glorious news! Congratulations.
