I highly doubt Testikov will win, given his history of being an anarchist, and doubt that even you think he can win, but your character is the most entertaining to follow by far! One question I have is how you got these views. Did you just think of the most radical, left-wing Democrat possible, or is this really what you believe (exaggerated, obviously, unless you actually are an anarchist)? Either way, it's very fun and interesting to read your posts as Testikov. Keep it up  Cheesy

Testikov is essentially a manifestation of my darker impulses, from a timeline where I ended up in the Extremely Online "dirtbag left" sphere. Some of his views are my own, but exaggerated and communicated in a far more confrontational manner than I would personally express them. Regardless of my chances of conventional success in the game, I thought it would be fun to run such an unconventional campaign and see how the rest of the game would react to it, and it's lovely that you've been entertained thus far.
