Candidate Declaration Thread

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I will be running in the election to take over President Afleitch's Senate seat.

Endorsed

[Bacon King]

I too will be running in the special election for President Afleitch's Senate seat.

It was something I had decided upon as soon as it was apparent afleitch would win. Still, after I saw you had already declared it became very hard decision for me to make.

You will get my second preference of course.

[bgwah]

It would be pretty cool if all of the major parties ran a candidate.

[Sewer]

You have my vote.

[Purple State]

It would be pretty cool if all of the major parties ran a candidate.

Oh shush. You say that because you know the JCP still has the absolute advantage when it comes to party turnout. If every party ran a candidate, the JCP candidate would win.

IRV, man.

Short of a consensus candidate and an extreme anti-JCP atmosphere (which you could argue we have, but I am not ready to assume), it would take a lot to defeat the JCP candidate in that sort of battle royal.

That said, it is wholly possible that the current anti-incumbent wave will fully demolish the conventional wisdom of JCP-rule and bring the start of a new era. Hell, this is why I play the game. Evolving political dynamics.

[Хahar 🤔]

Indeed. The loss of Bacon King has, if nothing else, shaken up the game.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

The RPP isn't planning on it. Whenever we try to run someone, they end up dropping out a week before the voting begins.

^^^^^^^^

Exactly. All prior assumptions about Atlasia's polical alignment have basically been thrown out the window.

Like I've said numerous types, the JCP has been lucky. We don't monopolize anything.

In October 08, we were lucky Mr. Moderate dropped out at the last minute.

In Feb 09, we were lucky the AndrewCT/Duke ticket never materialized.

In June 09, well... we ran a pretty good campaign. But even then, we were lucky that invalidated votes were disproportionately PiT votes.

In October 09, we were lucky the Jedi/Franzl ticket fell apart.

Overall, June was definitely our greatest achievement. For once, the victor wasn't a friggin' moderate. For once, it wasn't a friggin' unity ticket, which, even though I was elected on one, are kind of lame.

But it is so much more fun when there is a monolithic, "all-powerful" entity to beat up on.

I also think you deserve our unyielding scorn until the secret to the afro-smiley is finally revealed.

We were going to tell everyone if Bacon King won, too!!

You should. The more the merrier.

[Hash]

Great, now the DA will lose another seat. Maybe we should disband.

[Franzl]

how do you figure?

[minionofmidas]

The Central Committee of the Revolutionary Cultural Marxist Party of Atlasia would like to declare the candidacy of Comrade L. Trondheim.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I thought CMPA don't participate in "rotten bourgeiose" elections.

CMPA has, sadly, been dissolved transformed into a bourgeois organization by its last leader (corporate stooge, imperialist licking dog) Widdershins.

This is an RCMPA communication.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Democratic Left would like to point out that the RCMPA is not a legitimate organisation. It is an ultra-left splinter group unable to come to terms with the reality that people prefer sunshine, flowers, bunnies, kittens and so on to gulags and streetfighting.

[minionofmidas]

This is avoiding the fact that kittehs love streetfighting, bunnehs love gulags and therefore, dialectically, people like streetfighting and gulags too. Or will once we've had a chance to convince them. In our bunneh-run gulags.
