Progressive Union Party

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

The elevation of YoungTexan to the senate was not on "merits". He was elevated to the senate because the power brokers in the Federalist party wanted to reward him for his loyalty to their corporate machine. YoungTexan is a bombastic buffoon who rewarded his buddies in the Texas oil industry with rivers of cash flows during his tenure as Secretary of Interior. Who knows what lobbyists he will lavishly reward as Senator of the Great Southern region. He could have at least rewarded his region in Lincoln.

If we have an oil industry lobby, they are woefully ineffective considering they couldn't stop the carbon tax.

Someone should absolutely start an Atlasian oil lobby. I'm not sure how that would work in practice, but it would be very interesting from a gameplay standpoint.

It's good to see people standing up to the Federalists but why create a new party? There are many progressive parties already and they should form a strong United front against the Federalists(which tbh I sort of hoped this was)

Standing up against what? I know it's fun to act like we're "Trumpists" and you can #resist us but it makes no sense in the context of reality

Did I miss Pericles calling you a Trumpist in his post?

Actual question: in your opinion, is there a legitimate reason for anyone to not be a Federalist? I ask because y'all seem to have laid claim to every ideological position from the far-right to the center-left, and the running narrative appears to be that everyone should just join your party. As much as I appreciate the irony of an Era of Good Feeling where the Federalists are ascendant, it seems a little weird, though perhaps that's just me.
