Tmth/Lumine For The People: June Announcement

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Due to real life business and honestly not being able to help this campaign in many ways, along with being unsure if I can serve as VP effectively (due to being so busy), I must withdraw from the ticket, I wish everyone involved the best of luck

So to recap the election cycle so far:
-YoungTexan/Ninja form a ticket who gets a bunch of zombie endorsements
-Ninja withdrew but of course that didn’t stop the Feds from attacking Transit for bullying him off the ticket  
-YoungTexan/RC is the new ticket
-YT gets the Fed nomination
-Tmth enters
-Selects DFW as VP (continuing his pattern of attempting to go with a unity ticket of sort when trying to run for President)
-YoungTexan/RC get more Fed endorsements on forum
-YoungTexan drops out with many switching to back Tmth
-DFW drops out as VP (this one and the Ninja withdrawing I sort of understand the most of all the changes)

I just have to say that all this presidential ticket turnover is not good for the game. I get it life happens and I understand RL comes first, but I think all this turnover says something about the factions of the Federalist Party and the right of center as a whole that I think is relevant here. Sestak and I have been running for president and vice president since December 29 while you blink and there’s a change to a ticket with a Federalist on it. How can one be convinced when in office there won’t be 24/7 chaos, especially compared to the record in service Sestak and I have? Direct electability aside, how can we focus on the AFG board if officeholders keep getting sidetracked to the continued instability and turnover of the ticket that we are experiencing right now and could continue if elected?

uwu the hackishness is strong here, the feds and/or right wing took a long time to settle down on a ticket in October 2016 and things turned out fine on that front for sure, also, the most stable ticket for a long time in the June 2017 cycle was dfw/goldwater....and how did that turn out? Trying to settle down on a ticket in advance of an election has absolutely zero indication on how a presidency will turn out, in fact, I would think someone like you would be happy that that the YT ticket got "bounced".....lol

I find it interesting, in contrast to this () that despite being a "stable ticket", the Sestak/YE ticket has only posted once in their thread and I believe that was back in 2018. Better to be changing in an active way than to just sit there and rot like a piece of moldy bread, eh? Speaking of which, back when I was running in June 2017, I made more public posts and speeches despite being charged by, lets say certain laborites, of "running an entirely pm based campaign". I am glad this post is making its intents known publicly and not making the classic shady deals that the public has come to expect of campaigns run prior to this one.

Considering we’ve been very active on the AFG board doing our jobs as Senator and VP, and both us have long records of accomplishments at the federal and regional level, I find the idea that both of us are inactive absurd. I have stood against shady deals my entire tenure, dating back to April 2018 when we backed wxtransit over Pericles because he made a shady deal with LT (and I should also note Sestak unendorsed Pericles as well) and if you think that sort of culture is still prevalent on the left, look at the results of the Labor and Pax primaries this weekend.

So you guys judged Pericles based on something from April 2018, now, despite supporting him in the last cycle? Kind of weirdddd but ok. I did not say you are inactive (your words, not mine!), but it is....odd that your AFE thread has been utterly inactive since December 2018 and the vast majority of your endorsements were received in early january or late december....
