TPTTAA Poll - Right Unity - How about now?

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

     It was better than nothing, though one election cycle I would actually like to see the RPP/POP back a ticket running on a genuinely conservative/libertarian platform. It's not like we'll win over any JCPers regardless of what we run on.

True.

I actually think this is the problem with the game. A strong, united left dominates national fantasyland politics. When one goes back to the active periods of Atlasia, one will find that the right and left were far more evenly matched than now. Nym won with only one vote in the first Presidential election, after all.

Given that and other evidence it seems that the Atlas used to be far more conservative than it is now.  Is that true?

No... Lore has it that a bunch people from other websites flooded the mock presidential map.

I wasn't around for it, but some of the forum olds would tell you (and I've seen myself in ancient threads) the forum was more conservative circa 04-05.

Could an old confirm this?

I found it.

he is crazy, yes. But that does not mean you have the right to be mean. Why must you try to run everyone off you guys don't like? that doesn't help with anything.

Yes, it does. It improves the quality of the forum discourse (to which you contribute little to nothing, and perhaps less).

so you're against the first amendment? Limit free speech for some because their arguments aren't as "good?"

It's not relevant here. It's only about government actions.

On a "nonpartisan" political forum, posters should be expected to show at least *some* respect for, and more importantly knowledge of, the other side's argument; of where the other side is coming from.
Without that you are, basically, trolling even if that wasn't your intention. (I personally have never even thought of reporting your posts.)

Oh and what Dallasfan (three posts above) is saying is true.  Wasn't up to 2005, btw - if anything it was often the other way round.
