The Chronicle of the Death of the Atlasian Right (VERY VERY VERY DEAD!)

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

To emphasize just how dead the Atlasian Right is, this post will provide an easy one stop shop to look at just how dead they have become. (Percentages below include abstentions and votes for joke candidates with no lower prefs from valid voters, and so may differ slightly from official certified percentages.)

October 19-21, 2018 (The moment of Death)

President: Weatherboy (Left) 51% ; North Carolina Yankee (Right) 49%

House: 5-4 Left; Highlight is Speaker Fhtagn losing her seat.

South: Despite having no announced opposition, Conservative Governor Tmthforu94 receives only 78% of the vote, with 9 votes being cast for write-in candidates or NOTA (5/9 were cast for leftist alternatives). The left captures a 3-2 majority in the legislature.

Fremont: Leftist Senator Canis was re-elected with 79% of the vote. Among the dissenting votes, only a single vote was cast for a conservative candidate. FM YE received a strong challenge, but was re-elected 51%-49%. The left earns a 3-2 majority in the legislature.

Lincoln: Leftist Zaybay was elected with 63%; his nearest challenger, Former Regional Speaker LouisvilleThunder, received just 29%. The left earned a unanimous 3-0 majority in the legislature. Governor ReaganClinton was endorsed by all parties and thus had no challenger; he was re-elected with 91% of the vote.

October 26-28, 2018 (The Death Continues)

Lincoln: Leftist candidate Lok wins a Senate Seat by 64%-36%.

November 30-December 2, 2018 (Still Dead)

Lincoln: Three candidates for 3 seats so irrevelant
South: 1 candidate ran unopposed so irrevelant
Fremont: Leftist candidate Pericles wins over quirky centrist Lumine 53%-47%. With candidates eliminated in earlier rounds also being from the left or center, not a single vote was cast for a conservative candidate.

December 14-16, 2018 (Even more Dead than Before)

House: Despite running six candidates, Federalists elected just three to the House. The Labor/Pax coalition captured a 5-3-1 majority, electing all the candidates that it ran. Alliance, a little-known Centrist Party, prevents the Feds from having a 4th seat. The count of 3 seats is a true embarrassment for the federalists given their currently aggressive work ethic.

Lincoln: This election truly showed that the Nov 30-Dec 2 Special only elected a majority of right-leaning candidates due to lack of interest. In this regular election, candidates from leftist parties captured 2 of the 3 seats, with the 3rd going to Alliance. Not a single federalist individual will be in the Assembly. In the Senate race, Liberal Maineiac defeated popular but right of center incumbent Governor ReaganClinton by a large margin of 58 to 42 percent.

South: While incumbent Conservative Senator North Carolina Yankee was not seriously challenged, opposition candidates did generate 22% of the vote, demonstrating that not even the right's most popular and well-known characters can win elections without notable dissent.

Fremont: Liberal Senator Sestak was solidly re-elected with 71% of the vote, despite having a strong conservative challenger.

December 21-23, 2018 (LOL)

Fremont: Little known write-in candidate RFA09, whose candidacy the left did not even appear to be aware of until after the polls opened, defeated rightist Koopa DaQuick by a comfortable margin of 56%-44% in a special parliamentary election.

January 4-6, 2019 (New Year, Still Dead):

Fremont: Leftist Galaxie wins a Fremont Parliament election overwhelmingly, receiving more than 70% of the vote.

-----------------

The Right momentarily came back during regional elections in January where they retook the Southern Chamber and got a notable minority in the Fremont Parliament. They took advantage of a perfect storm situation to snatch the presidency and technical house and senate majorities in February. But in April, they lost the Congress. And then....

---------------------

June 21-23, 2019 (Nope, the right is actually still dead):

President: Adam Griffin (Left) 51.5% ; Young Texan (Right) 48.5%

House: 5-4 Left

South: Senator Vern receives only 62% of the vote, with 18 votes being cast for write-in candidates or his opponent WB.

Fremont: Leftist Senator Ontario Progressive was re-elected with 63% of the vote.

Lincoln: Leftist tack50 was elected with 62%; his nearest challenger, incumbent Senator LouisvilleThunder, received just 35%. With the Special election, the left earned a temporary 6-3 supermajority in the legislature. An extremely controversial gun law which even many Lincoln leftists did not support ended 1 vote away from ratification.

----------

August 23-25, 2019 (Even Deader than before):


As per usual, history is repeating itself.

House: Despite running four candidates, Federalists elected just two to the House. The Labor/Pax coalition captured a 5-3-1 majority, electing all the candidates that it ran minus JGibson, who narrowly missed a seat in a last minute attempt for 6 Labor/Pax seats. The left only missed on a 6 member House supermajority because of an inefficient allocation of first preferences.

Poirot, a notorious independent perennial candidate, prevents the Feds from having a 3rd seat. The count of 2 seats is a true embarrassment for the federalists given their currently aggressive work ethic. The count of 2 seats is also the worst result of the Federalist party in over 4 years (since June 2015).

The Federalist/ACP coalition only gets 35% of the popular vote and 3 seats, even worse than in December 2018.

Lincoln: Left wing darling PyroTheFox crushes independent candidate Poirot by 70-30. On top of that, no write-in votes were cast for any conservative candidate. Combine that with the fact that the Lincoln Council only has one Federalist member left (thr33, a moderate Federalist) and it's easy to see how the Lincoln right is not just dead but also buried deep.

South: While incumbent centre-right Senator North Carolina Yankee was not seriously challenged, opposition candidates did generate 18% of the vote, demonstrating that not even the right's most popular and well-known characters (to the point of being endorsed by the Labor Party!) can win elections without notable dissent.

Fremont: Liberal Senator Devout Centrist was solidly re-elected with 63% of the vote, despite having a strong centrist challenger. Again no write ins for a conservative candidate.

--------

October 18-20, 2019 (What happened to the right?):

President: Griffin received approximately 60% of the vote in the first round, and two thirds of the vote in the hypothetical final round with AZ!!

House: Labor attained a proper six seat majority with several votes to spare!!!

Senate: Peanut crushed Poirot with ~75% of the vote. OnProg crushed Brugh with about two thirds of the vote. MOST AMAZINGLY, MB defeated DeadPrez in the South!!!

South Governor: In an upset, Leftist Leinad defeated Darling of the Right Muaddib

Lincoln Council: THE LEFTISTS GOT ALL THREE SEATS

Southern CoD: THE LEFT GOT A 3-2 MAJORITY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2017 THAT THEY HAVE HAD A CoD MAJORITY AND THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION!!!

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

What a bunch of lies from Wulfric.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

February 2015

President: Labor Landslide 54%-31%. Fed ticket in third place!

Regional Seats: 4 Left, 1 Center 0 Fed
At-Large Seats: 4 Left 1 Center 0 Fed

NE: Battled between Labor and center left TPP
Mideast: Labor dominated with DR toehold in the Assembly, DR Governor. 1 Federalist Assemblyman
Midwest: Labor dominated up and down the ballot.
Pacific: TPP cesspool where the two biggest TPPers hated each other and bickered openly in public.
South: Toppled by a TPP coup.


Feds held 4 offices, three of which were appointed (Deputy GM, IDS Judicial Overlord, Supreme Court Justice)

Now lets have a little straight talk. Consolidation means that the 3 regions have a larger population and thus easier for Conservatives to struggle head to head against left wing candidates. It also means that all the regions are more sensitive to surges in left wing registration, whereas previously you always had one region or two where the left was weak. This happened a year ago, when everyone was crowing about Dead Labor, Labor controlled ALL 3 Regions, had a majority in the House and Senate.

The only difference was DFW was President, elected by running on a centrist platform.

The simple fact is every two years the left gets a windfall as energized posters join the Atlas, they register and vote and the left gets a boost. Internet demographics is a left leaning crowd, always been that way.

Post 2014: Results see early 2015 above
Post 2016: Blair's Recruitment drive gives them a +30 advantage, allowing them to win all three regions by summer 2017.

It is as predictable as the tides. In some cases the right has far back more aggressively or skillfully and neutered the effects, like 2017. Other times the bottom fell out like in 2015.

October 29th, 2018, new Leftist powerhouse party Wulfric is a Socialist Party emerges, defeating Labor overnight and delivering the finishing blow to the right by electing Socialists both by admission and by association.

In February 2015 the left was already controlling the Mideast Assembly, but not the governor though.

Who were the two TPPs hating each others in tje Pacific?

[mvd10]

The right is not dead. We need more purism. Bolsonaro's victory in Brazil shows a path for us. The good people of Atlasia will be fed up with Labor's toxic mix of socialism, feminism and corruption soon. We just need to offer an alternative in order to turn out our voters.

We need enthusiasm and energy yes, but it is very difficult to unite three quadrants behind any form of "purist agenda" and this is the challenge for a competitive right of center party in Atlasia, keeping Conservatives, Libertarians, moderates, populists and nationalists all under one roof.

We turned out 94% of our eligible votes in the last election, which is one of the highest ever.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

OP updated following this weekend's election. In the only contested race (Fremont), not a single vote was cast for a conservative candidate and the remnants of the right found themselves rallying behind a quirky centrist in Lumine, who still lost by 6%.

[Wells]

Glorious news!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Again, if we didn't give up when we had 0 Senate seats, why should we throw in the towel now?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

a quirky centrist in Lumine

lol

[wxtransit]

a quirky centrist in Lumine

see, atlasian politics isn't divided along left and right, it's divided along meme centrists and quirky centrists

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

What about the "dead atlasian right" taking back the Lincoln Assembly even though it has a +30 lefty registration advantage?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

a quirky centrist in Lumine

see, atlasian politics isn't divided along left and right, it's divided along meme centrists and quirky centrists

Discuss with maps.

[YE]

Lumine is right wing lol

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Lumine is right wing lol

But didn't you vote for the "right wing" Wxtransit in April because of Pericles' corruption and for fhtagn and Yankee in February and June because you viewed them as the most competent candidates?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Lumine is right wing lol

Not if I change all the facts to fit my narrative!

[YE]

Lumine is right wing lol

But didn't you vote for the "right wing" Wxtransit in April because of his corruption and for fhtagn and Yankee in February and June because you viewed them as the most competent candidates?

Yes but what does this have to do with anything? You asking me why I voted for Pericles over Lumine?

Edit: I endorsed fhtagn when no one was in the race and she looked likely to go unopposed.

Because I thought WB was capable of running an efficient presidency based on what I observed behind the scenes. Of course, debate hasn’t been substantive as I’d like. As for this election, both Pericles and Lumine have caused uproar in the past, but I do think Pericles will add debate and ideas to the Senate while Lumine seems focused on game reform, which doesn’t seem to be that high of a priority right now to the Senate. I will say I would have considered voting for Koppa had he been active in the debate and not dropped out but I don’t think he would have been active.

How have you "observed behind the scenes" if you don't use discord? Also, Weatherboy has made no real contributions to Atlasia, whether it's ideological or game based, while Yankee had an extremely active and transparent administration that contributed a lot to the country.

The House of Representatives is passing sweeping legislation that is pro-worker, pro-immigrant, and pro-Atlasian! We are currently amending the Constitution to make government work more efficiently. The Senate has likewise been drafting legislation. This has been a productive administration!

Ah yes! Prioritizing the passage amnesty for illegals surely satisfies the #Populist impulses of YE as well as "pro-worker" bills that do nothing to solve real problems in addition to attempting to amend the constitution to bypass the fair process for governing. Also, the Secretary of Internal Affairs remains unfilled and we have a president who spends more time posting memes on discord than governing. How wonderful indeed!

I avoid the main Atlasia and Atlas discord but to say I’ve avoided it completely would be false. There’s no question Yankee had a real presence in the game - one that doesn’t seem to disappear no matter the office but I did think, seeing the effort put in to the previous election, that an effective left wing administration would be possible. While I don’t think the game is toxic and I am in fat of the administration’s policy proposals, debate hasn’t been substantive (more so in the Senate; the House seems better) and there seemed to be no effort put into Lincoln. But I’m not convinced we would have been in a better spot come February had Yankee been re-elected, as that would have been a likely left wing victory in an open election.
