Speech in Wasilla, Alaska

It is an outrage when Labor pushes out attack ads calling PSOL and Laki communists, when in their own platform it says, "The means of production should belong to the workers who use them.", which means that they are socialists.

I call on all of you to reject the desperate lying by Labor by voting against Labor, even if you don't vote for the Democratic Alliance, which I hope you do.

ooh, look at me, whataboutism, I'm so smart!

Because chances are he might not be a Democrat. Come to Portland and you'll understand what I'm talking about. 
Also, I'm not exactly a straight Democrat, I support Hawkins if I could vote and didn't live in a swing state and I'd support a left wing third party candidate against Casey if he was leading well.

If the “good speaker from NJ” gets triggered by good legislation that’s his own problem.
And lowering the drinking age is the most pressing political issue of our time? It's clearly a non-issue and a blatantly transparent baiting attempt by the DA.
It isn't about lowering the drinking age, what about the open container laws that you know are in the bill.

Oklahoma Mailer & Billboards



Sent to Oklahoma voters and seen on billboards throughout Oklahoma.

The reverse has information on the local and statewide Democratic Alliance candidates as well as a promise to create and enforce COVID protections in schools.

Disgusting.
People in Your Party called the Greens "Marxist", why don't you say "Disgusting." to that.
Your leader called the Democratic Alliance "Bastards", why don't you say "Disgusting" to that.

Oh Yeah, because it's Labor and it gets a double standard and you probably won't give two s**ts about this post.

So alcohol citations are why Ahmaud Arbery and so many others are victims of police brutality. Got it.
No, but open container laws are a excuse for police officers to search and question young people of color, and minority groups are more likely to get ticketed then whites.

I don't know why this theory of yours has gained traction in your head, but its ridiculous. Its a bill that S019 clearly doesn't like. You are allowed to write legislation that S019 doesn't like. Sorry.
You are allowed to write bills S019 doesn't like - hell, we do it in Labor all the time. But it's bad faith to write a bill S019 doesn't like for the sole purpose of annoying him. That's not called serving the people of Lincoln, it's called passing reform with little impact as an excuse to piss off someone you don't like. Anyone with half a brain cell can see that.
But there is no evidence of that, because it isn't true. So its a moot point.

> S019's archaic views on moral issues are well known, as is the antagonism between you two

> Upon entering Council, you sponsor a bill that would clearly anger him and/or make him say things that could be used against Labor.

It's simple logic. And you know it.
If I could show it something against him, I would do a quote from his town hall when we was Suburban New Jersey Conservative or something.

Correlation is not causation. I did not sponsor the bill because S019 doesn't like it. I sponsored because I like it and I believe that it would be a good thing for it to pass. You're making this up because DA bad. Please stop lying to everyone. This is a waste of time, so I'm not responding to this anymore.
Coming from the founder of a party that essentially boils down to "Labor bad", this means nothing. I'll change my tune when the DA actually starts backing meaningful legislation instead of baiting Labor members on non-issues.

So we should get rid of all laws then, because police officers can discriminate against minorities on the basis of a wide range of laws. Good to know.
Ninja literally wrote the Lincoln Covid Protections law in Lincoln. What are you talking about?

Speech in Ponce, Puerto Rico alongside the Federalist candidate for Governor


Hello people of Ponce! I'm proud to be here because communities here have recovered well from the hurricanes we faced back in 2017 while the Federalist Party was at the helm nationally with the White House, the People's House of Representatives, and full control of the Southern regional government. This is due to legislation passed such as the Storm Surge, Coastal Flooding, and Tsunami Prevention Act of 2017, the Natural Disaster Relief Fund Act, the Hurricane Florence Relief Act, and last but not least, the Harvey Aid Relief Act, which was the first piece of legislation I have ever written back in 2017. These examples are real proof that our principles involve caring about all Atlasians, especially Puerto Ricans through acting on policy. A Federalist government in Puerto Rico will move past Labor's offensive and condescending smear tactics which won't work because we know that we have a real responsible alternative option to choose from. The Federalist Party is also the party of the family. We know that this state especially cares deeply for Catholic values, as they are the backbone of the Federalist base. This is why a Federalist government will be sure to do as much as we can to limit the cruel practice of abortion from happening here on this island. We also believe in people helping out those in need in our communities by fighting hunger and homelessness with a focus on making them hands up rather than permanent handouts. Labor depends on having a permanent underclass so they can make empty promises to the most desperate. Our policies will lead to much stronger economic growth and prosperity here which will accomplish much more for all walks of life. This makes it evident that Federalist Values are much more rooted in the values of Puerto Rico rather than the Portland Values of Labor, Greens, or even Democratic Alliance. Thank you very much and please don't forget to vote for your Federalist candidates for the state legislature and governor!
Lol "Portland Values"

Tbh I'm not even sure how many people in Puerto Rico know that much about a medium-sized city 2,500 miles away but ok
I mean it is the city where the Labor Governor of the South is from, and it's been in the news plenty lately, so it's a pretty solid attack line imo.
Okay, I guess? I'm not sure if in-game MB's 'officially' from Portland, but I'm not familiar with exactly how residency works in this game.

My point stands though.

MB was a MP of Fremont in 2017.

For a response to the Peace is a puppet arguement.
Koopa ran against Devout Centrist (a laborite) in June for Fremont's Senate election.

Leinad was a Paxist and was elected in October 2019.

NJ Radio Ad: Not Right (to air statewide on all radio stations)

Person #2: Well John, I do know that they supported tax cuts for big corporations

Person #1: So Mary, do you mean that they want violent criminals to walk around with guns and not ever even have a background check, I'm getting the feeling that the Federalists aren't for us.

Tell me where they all oppose background checks, and support tax cuts on big corporations.

If Labor thinks that the Federalists are Republicans, that's b****hit

The fact is that every true Nebraskan knows there are two choices in this election. The Labor party is the party of the farmers and self-government; the opposition is the party of centralism and Eastern interests.

There are a number of so-called conservative carpetbaggers who have come out here in recent days expecting easy votes. Well, they are about to find out that Nebraskans have more sense than to be taken in by a lot of Eastern imperialists.

Poirot was the only one who campaigned in Nebraska other then you and he isn't a centralist by any means.

Scott and I would like a word.
Both of you too I know now, but my point is, Poirot isn't a centralist.

Poirot had a conservative voting record in the House so Truman isn't wrong. Honestly I'm sick of this Poirot worship, just because he runs a lot doesn't mean he should win.
A decent amount of votes are from older people in game who are friends with him which include your former running mate.

Nobody worships him, there is a more likely chance that people worship Labor.

Centralism according to  Merriam Webster is "the concentration of power and control in the central authority of an organization". Poirot doesn't support that and historically, he was targeted by centralists/radicals like Al Realpolitik.

If you want go to Nebraska and call him out. Though I suspect low-quality three-line campaigning won't do as much when you don't have a homestate advantage.

It also can refer to the political center, i.e. a layman's term to describe one who supports milquetoast policies.  I doubt anyone in Nebraska gives a hoot about your dictionary citations.
Poirot supports single payer nationally something most of the left which a run of a mill centrist doesn't support and holds many leftist positions as well so he isn't a generic centrist.

I agree with much of the response about what centralist but centralist in this game means more power to the federal government, not the regional governments.

After today (today morning), I'm moving on from this issue.

Ah yes, Planned Parenthood, the #1 abortion clinic in the beautiful city of Chicago, Michigan.

Well it is hard to find pictures that aren't Getty images/watermarked, so you have to do with what you have.
I don't know, use the official logo of planned parenthood

specifically the DA's and Ishan's Value Added Tax.
I am not part of the DA and the candidate for Senate under the DA opposes a Value Added Tax and a former DA Congressman opposes it, so this is a "good story".

I have not had the official support of the DA in any of my campaigns and the Chair of the DA voted for the Federalist, Brother Johnathan.

Reno, Nevada

The liars and cheaters in the Dishonest Alliance
Another "good story", and only Poirot has campaigned in Nevada and he is not part of the DA and his campaigns are independent from them.

I know you’re not in the DA, hence the “and”
So, most of leadership opposed it.

Also, as Dwarven Dragon said on discord, 2/3 (Dwarven Dragon, Elcaspar) Labor Councilors supported it and S019 wanted it to be higher according to Dwarven Dragon.

Yes and.

That's not even a criticism. There's no direction to vote for anyone else.
It is a ad for people to vote against Labor.

Deadprez is black and I think the only black person in the game and he's on the House slate.

So?
As far as I know, there have been no racist comments by any feds and nobody said anything about it and the Feds are inclusive towards racial minorities.
