The Atlasian Post's final October 2018 elections poll got 59 respondents, a pretty respectable sample size. The sample seems somewhat accurate, while the June electorate question shows Yankee may well be underpolled, the partisan composition is relatively proportional to reality and the swing from an electorate Yankee won to one won by weatherboy1102 shows that weatherboy is likely gaining support compared to the performance of Ninja/AZ in June. It is unclear whether these gains will be enough for weatherboy to win. The recent Labor recruiting surge, which created a sizable registration advantage for the left-wing, does seem to be a daunting obstacle for Yankee/dfw to overcome. The Federalists also seem to be in trouble down ballot according to this poll, however it did not ask about specific candidates so it's possible voters will decide differently when faced with the list of candidates. The results do seem inflated for the left, though I have done what I can to get a representative sample for the left, and it seems a bad idea to go down the rabbit hole of poll un-skewing. It may be notable that all the polls taken recently have shown weatherboy/MB leading Yankee/dfw, this could suggest an actual shift in the electorate but uniformity isn't always accuracy. This is an interesting glimpse of the views of the Atlasian electorate, but as with most Atlasian polling healthy scepticism should be applied. Now, the polls are about to open, and now it is time for the Atlasian people to decide how to take Atlasia forward into 2019 and beyond.

The poll had 18 respondents. Senator Sestak leads Federalist challenger KoopaDaQuick. However, this poll seems to have a left-wing lean compared to the wider Fremont electorate, so it is possible it is overestimating Sestak's standing. The picture overall is that Sestak is the favorite in this race, though Koopa does still have a shot at victory. It seems Fremont will continue with its streak of close elections. Voters seem to have very strong support for First Minister YE. President weatherboy's standing is the weakest of all the officials polled, which may be a troubling sign for him, but he is still in positive approval in the nation's swing region. These results, as usual, have plenty of interesting tidbits and room for interpretation. Now, we wait for the results of the biggest and most important poll.

The Atlasian Post is doing an early poll of the February 2019 presidential election to gauge the electorate's view of this race. Please do this sensibly, as people answering questions to only members of a party that they don't belong to will have their responses deleted and be asked to redo their response. Anyway, here is the link to the poll; https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UsR9bQ7I7QOoy7zSKQtAEzxlGdlK24uRa1aYLmoySdM

Which of the following potential presidential candidates would you consider voting for?(46 responses)
Jimmy7812-63.0%

tmthforu94-43.5%

LouisvilleThunder-34.8%
1184AZ-30.4%
YoungTexan-26.1%
Me b***h(not a listed candidate)-2.2%
Razze(not a listed candidate)-2.2%

Given the decisions of weatherboy1102 and tmthforu94 not to run(and 1184AZ and fhtagn have indicated on Discord that they don't currently intend on running), the February race has come into closer focus in the last few days. Yankee would be the strongest candidate the Federalists could nominate and is the frontrunner in their primary, but as October shows would still be far from guaranteed victory. The door may indeed now be open for LouisvilleThunder to run for President, and more broadly the Federalists seem to have an open field and many potential candidates(but not necessarily one that would actually appeal to a majority of the electorate). Labor also has a seemingly competitive primary, and indeed weatherboy's decision not to run may be, if anything, a positive development for the party. The Alliance's plans are uncertain, though a Ninja0428 candidacy seems like the most likely outcome at this time. While Ninja seems like he'd take more votes from the left than the right, it's unclear whether this would be a negative for the Labor candidate(eg Spiral voters in February 2018 who only preferenced Spiral despite being left-leaning), or a positive development(by turning out more left-leaning voters and boosting the Labor candidate on the final round), or indeed ultimately not of much impact. There seems to be some dissatisfaction with the present status quo, but at the same time it is unclear if this will be enough to deny Labor a second term and it may well be able to effectively get out its voters and score a win in a left-leaning electorate as it did in October and December. Time will tell what the ultimate outcome is, the fun is only just beginning.

Quoting this piece of ground-breaking journalism.

1184AZ ran in late August 2018 for a few days for President of Atlasia, with ReaganClinton as his VP. At the time AZ was a Peace Party member, ReaganClinton was an Independent(there is slight confusion as one piece of evidence says he was an Alliancite but I believe this is a mistake on dfw's part). This was something I clearly remembered, and I presumed it was common knowledge. Disturbingly, I have found that this is not the case. The actual thread was unfortunately deleted, and this information is not on the wiki. Yet, through tireless hard work and JOURNALISM, The Atlasian Post will bring you the evidence you need, proving that this was something that happened.

For starters, I had conversations with 1184AZ about his bid. Unfortunately, AZ deleted everything he said in this conversation, so you are left with an oddly stilted and confusing screenshot. Yet, if you look at it, and take the other evidence into account, it is clear that this presidential bid actually existed.


Here is iron-clad evidence.

I am running to be your President with ReaganClinton as my running mate

I am running to be your President with ReaganClinton as my running mate

Confirming that I will be running with Former Governor AZ for Vice President

I am running to be your President with ReaganClinton as my running mate

Withdrawing as this isn’t going anywhere and it’s obvious their are better options.

And with that, I withdraw my VP candidacy. Still running for Gov tho.

This was discussed on the wider forum too.

This candidacy is implicitly referenced when Mike Wells announced his presidential candidacy;

I’ve made it known in private conversations that I am unimpressed with the current tickets. This is not to say that I don’t respect them as Atlasians, and as people, but I believe that Atlasia deserves another choice. We need someone to represent the interests of the worker and the progressive movement in this election and in the White House. We want an issues-based campaign that deals with what all Atlasians care about.

AZ/RC Presidential Campaign Suspended; New Players Entering Race
Opposition to President North Carolina Yankee Seemingly Undecided

     In a somewhat surprising turn, the ticket of Lincoln Secretary of State 1184AZ of the Peace Party and Independent Governor ReaganClinton of Lincoln have ended their short bid for the presidency. This seemingly is due to a lack of support for the ticket, as highlighted by the recent poll from The Crusader which revealed a staggering 70% of the Atlasian population to be dissatisfied with the matchup, but neither former candidate has specifically highlighted this. Now the Atlasian left will be looking for a candidate to unite the opposition to the currently favored President Yankee of the Federalists, which they may not be able to do. Recently former senator Mike Wells of the mysterious new Labor Party has declared his intentions to run on a unity ticket with representative Razze of the Peace Party. Notably excluded from this ticket is the larger but declining Progressive Union Party. Meanwhile representative Weatherboy of the Progressive Union has formed an exploratory committee on the possibility of a run for president, which would further divide the left. Who the left will choose, if anyone, is unknown.

There is further evidence from my PMs with then Vice-President dfwlibertylover.







Those sources were AZ and Jimmy fyi, but much of the conversation after that is not related to this specific subject.




I am glad to be of service, and I believe that these pieces of evidence, taken together, decisively prove that 1184AZ ran for President with ReaganClinton as his running mate, and help show the mood at the time, public reaction, and how events unfolded. I hope the wiki can be edited to reflect this evidence, and that people will now be aware of THE FULL STORY of the October 2018 presidential election.
