Register!

[Gustaf]

This progressive crap is gonna screw us over bigtime.

Yes, that seems likely. You need to get the new members to register: Ben, HoopsCubs, Saratoga, etc.

[Gustaf]

This progressive crap is gonna screw us over bigtime.

why?

He expects potential Dem voters will be progressives instead and considering that Nym90 won with a margin of one vote with one Rep missing that he was in time to vote, and thus didn't bother and another one coming in jsut a little too late to vote and one Rep crossing over as well as one now progressive voting for him, prospects are now bleak for another Dem term. Basically.

Yes, the Progessive's likely will take away votes from you guys.  But I imagine there'll be a lot of Republicans crossing their fingers, hoping that another third party doesn't come along which might take away votes from them as well.

There's still a LOT of time between now and election time.  So there's enough time for more parties to come along...

I guess what I'm saying is, don't fret...yet.

TR took ftom the reps. LaFollettee too

Um..yeah, but you're not TR or LaFollette. From your early description this party appeared to be to the left of the Dems rather than to the right...

not really. well...on some issues yes I geuss

Do you have a platform somewhere?

[Gustaf]

why aren't you supporting my alternate vote system, fellow Democrats? Not only is it actually fairer then first past the post, it also negates the loss of votes to the PP, and also allows them to gain alot of votes they may otherwise not have recieved because people were scared of them "stealing" votes from a candidate. If this happens alot, as it well might do, the pP might actually be elected, otherwise they have no hope, so why aren't they supporting it too? The only party that has anything to lose is the Republicans, and only because the system is being made fairer.

Lol...you might have made this into a partisan issue with that post...will be intetresting to see how that plays out!

[Gustaf]

Do you suggest we both edit it out of our posts and change it to "supercalafrajilistic"? It is my custom useless post

The majority of voters are progressives and Dems, so it probably gives you a better chnce than otherwise...especially since the Reps probably wouldn't have accepted an out-landish system anyway...

[Gustaf]

I hear that 18 posts are necessary to register, which I have at present. Are there any further qualifications or constrictions?

Nope. I believe you jsut registered.

[Gustaf]

As the party chairman I would like to welcome you and to give you the member card #7

Thank you, Mr Chairman.

I know of five members besides me: yourself, Mr Bell, Mr Trondheim, Al and ilikeverin. Whom would the sixth member be, if I am the seventh?

WHAT! When did Al join you?

[Gustaf]

I don't think that Al is a member, but the others seem to think so. Maybe Al himself would like to give some clarification.

Considering the fact that he used to be a senator for the Democratic party and is a member of Nym90's cabinet. I'd certainly say that some clarification would be in order...

[Gustaf]

Should I register?

If so

I register as a democrat

Yes, at least I think so.

[Gustaf]

A new GusNews poll show that 44% of registered voters declare themselves to be Republicans, 44% to Democrats and the new Progressive Party gets as many as 11% of voters behind them, surprisingly high for such a new party. Analysts believe that this is bad news for the Republicans, who had a clear lead in voter registration leading up to the election and lost the presidential election despite the majority of the voters being registered Republicans.

[Gustaf]

I have put a new list of the Registered voters on the Archive Site. Please tell me if I have made mistakes/omissions.

Esteban Manuel has yet to register a party, so I will assume him to be independent until told otherwise. JohnFKeneddy is registered during the chaotic period of registering which I think we annulled, if he wants to register still, just say so and I will put you on.

Me has a list too... I'll check if they correspond to each other. And I think anyone who has registered should count, since there's no good reason not to.

[Gustaf]

I register under Michigan.

Do you have a party affiliation?

[Gustaf]

No, not yet, I suppose it would be Progressive, but I need to learn more about their positions on issues before I can agree to them. They'll likely be my choice though.

Siege40

OK. I'll put you down as progressive in my register then. The prorgessive movement is apparently gaining steam. I THINK that they're the most leftist party here, so if I've read you right it should be your party.

[Gustaf]

Indeed, I'm a Socialist. Put I've noticed American politics to be slanted towards the right as compared to the equivalent parties in Canada. Therefore I'm always apprehensive. For example the Canadian Conservative Party (Canadian Republicans) want to invest more money in public healthcare! You can see why I might be a little weary of American parties. Maybe you guys aren't right, we're just really left. Who knows.

I'm Swedish, so I know what you're talking about...
