H. E. A. R. T. - Tracking the December 2011 Senate Election

[Antonio the Sixth]

So you missed the point once again.

[homelycooking]

If you'd like to discuss election results, fine. But I will not tolerate partisan attacks in this thread. For the last time, gentlemen, take this elsewhere.

What I don't get is JCPers preferencing a libertarian like Jbrase above someone who perfectly fits their views, like TexasGurl.

I went to TexasGurl's campaign thread and I found platitudes about taxes being too high.

I went to Jbrase's campaign thread and I found a lively debate centered around ways to make this game more interesting.

[Badger]

Can I just interject to note yet again how sad and unnecessary the JCP/UDL split is? Not one damned ounce of ideological distinction as far as I can see; just personality conflicts.

Its a shame, and spats like this fortell it not resolving anytime soon.

We could do far worse than JBrase in the Senate, and considering how little the Atlasian left has allowed to split itself over, we should be thankful.

Interesting, if JCPers had all their votes transfer straight to TG instead of exhausting/going to JBrase, TexasGurl would have won this. Unless I'm just reading this wrong.

Indeed. That's the sad thing of this election (for the left, of course ).

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

With apparently no possibility for two left-wing parties cooperation, due to some people (on both sides) personal obsessions, I'm glad Jbrase won. Although there are a lot of political disagreements between us, I'm sure he'll be a dedicated Senator, as I already know he can work above of party/ideological lines. I fail to see any TG's ability to get along with the people outside her narrow circle.

Since my candidate didn't win, I'm glad to see Atlasian Ron Paul beating Atlasian Sarah Palin.

This whole episode reminds me of whenever the the AASP and the Populares were going at war with each other.  I wanted to put personal animosities behind us and work towards a common objective but the Populares Party seemed hell bent on preventing me from doing so.  It was either their way or the highway.  As much as it sucks for me to say but, it was their way.
There is no way in hell two left parties are ever going to fully cooperate, just like there was no way in hell two libertarian parties were ever going to fully cooperate.  There can only be one left dog in the yard, much like there could be only one libertarian dog in the yard.  It was only by putting my personal issues with people like Libertas aside that I was able to help the libertarian movement advance, even if it meant giving up on the Atlasian Anti-Square Party.
I know it sucks, but one of your groups is going to have to kick the can if you want to see left wing domination succeed.  Two leftist parties breed more animosity towards each other than they would with a right wing party.  It's only natural because by default you guys are stealing each other's votes.  It sucks, I know it sucks that one group may hate the other so much that it ends up endorsing different ideological candidates, but that is the nature of the beast.
It's hard to be unified if the Left is split up into numerous parties, much like it was for the libertarian/right to be split up into three different parties.  Just take it from me: work out your differences and the group more prone to compromise should just give in.
If that proves too hard for either group to do remember one thing: IT'S JUST A F***ING GAME, alright?  And in games the point is to win.  Sometimes to win you got to ally with assholes and sometimes you have to let those assholes win so that in the end you can win as well.

Damn, this speech just really sucks.  Then again I guess it really touches on why there has never been any real right wing domination for the past few years (y'know due to the whole RPP, PCP, POP, AASP, John Engle Party, blahblahblahblahblah).

You must be logged in to read this quote.

This is what I have so far.

An interesting note, due to the way ties are broken, Jbrase would have won on the 2nd ballot if he had 1 more vote, as by finishing ahead on the first ballot, he breaks any ties for himself.

Of course. Thanks to your incredible abilities you can read our minds.

Various thoughts:

It's worth noting that Meeker is one of those JCP members (albeit simply a JCP-enabler for a long time) who get shuffled around form office to office without regard to competence. He was a bad PPT, a do-nothing Vice President, and a do-nothing Governor.

Nobody does nothing better than Meeker.

Has Meeker ever done anything in Atlasia?

Clearly the JCP values naught but competence and good government.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

May I know what Xahar did for Atlasia beside

"Bgwah is bad"

"JCP is bad"

"I lost interest"

"I'm leaving Atlasia"
