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

[Former President tack50]

Time to update this, don't you think?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Time to update this, don't you think?

Don't give him any ideas.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Hot take: Whichever party loses an election is dead, even if they win the next one.

[Former President tack50]

With another election, another update. And so, we have come full circle:

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.)

June 21-23, 2019 (The moment of Death)

President: Weatherboy Adam Griffin (Left) 51.5% ; North Carolina Yankee 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.

Anyways I am calling the October election Titanium Fed now

I blame the Right's new death on Whitey insisting he's still young despite being older than, like, half the damn site.

[Kingpoleon]

Wow, apparently not! When will Labor recover, permanent FED majority imminent, etc

Reading back over this, it’s interesting to see the dime store version of Wulfric doing a nickel store impression of the same.

[Former President tack50]

Wow, can't believe I actually can update this! Also, history seems to be repeating itself

June 12-14 (The Death Continues)

South: Vern, after switching to the Peace Party and resigning his Senate seat is reelected 57-43% with mostly left wing support; becoming the first left wing Southern Senator elected in over 2 years (April 2017); showing that not even in the safest region for the right can conservatives be easily elected.

The Chronicle of the Death of the Atlasian Right

Chapter IV: Even Deader than before
(August 23-25th)

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.

Labor won, the Feds lost. That's it. Just because a party had a good cycle doesn't mean that their opponents are in any way "dead." Using your logic, Labor was "dead" during a good chunk of 2018. Using your logic, the real life Democrats would've been "dead" three years ago. Just because Labor won today doesn't mean that the Federalists can't pick themselves up off the ground. And this isn't the bias talking, as I'm registered with neither party, and while I used to be a Federalist, I don't really despise Labor or adore the Feds, so don't think that I'm a Feddy Fangirl who will fight to my dying breath in the name of that party.

[Former President tack50]

Mind you, I have revived this thread partly as a joke.

I admit the right is most certainly not dead (in fact if the cycle keeps going the will win the House, Senate and presidency in October like they did in February).

But as long as it is Labor who wins I will keep bumping this And when the Feds do win feel free to bump it and/or create a "Chronicle of the Death of the Atlasian Left". As Peebs said:

Hot take: Whichever party loses an election is dead, even if they win the next one.

Fair. That long-winded reply I wrote was less directed at you and moreso at Wulfric, who's a teensy bit more serious with the "DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD" thing.

[Sestak]

Keep in mind, I think I declared Labor dead in like Jan of 2018.

Unfortunately no, "the wicked witch" is not dead; as there are still a handful of Federalists (and ACP people) in elected office. But worry not, we at Labor are working hard to fix that mistake

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Bumping this as it's very clear that Jan 2019 was a dead cat bounce for the right and Feb 2019 was a perfect storm. Apr, Jun, Aug, and Oct 2019 were each excellent elections for the LEFT.

WHEN OFFICEHOLDERS SWEAR IN ON NOV. 1, THE NUMBER OF RIGHTISTS IN OFFICE WILL BE VERY SMALL:

Yankee (Senate), Fhtagn (House), RC (House), LT (House), Muaddib (CoD) , Reagente (CoD).

YEP, JUST SIX CONSERVATIVES LEFT.

THERE IS NO AMBIGUITY NOW

THE RIGHT REALLY IS DEAD

(OP is fully updated)

MOURN THE RIGHT HERE.

[Former President tack50]

I will note that the current Federalist total of only 2 House seats and 1 Senator is the lowest Fed total since July 2015 (with all that came at that time). There have been times the South has fallen to the left, but the House was still 5-4 and/or Fremont fell in exchange for the South.

This definitely raises questions on who will lead the opposition now and how

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

F

[AustralianSwingVoter]

I must say it rings a lot more true now than it did in October.

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

I must say it rings a lot more true now than it did in October.

Yeah. The Left has basically full control of Atlasia for now. All regional executives, control of all regional legislatures (IIRC they're only without a supermajority in the South), Supermajorities in both houses, etc.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Yeah, this thread was a year too early.

[YE]

Yeah this is at least worthy of a thread now.

I still can’t believe how much of a bloodbath this was.

I’m sure they’ll be back eventually but still, this was a horrifically bad cycle for the right.

[OneJ]

Yeah, this was brutal. I really hope that the right doesn't consider leaving in a mass exodus because they just got defeated big league and the game/forum is supposedly going too far to the left. If the left didn't do this 1-2 years ago why should the right?

As much fun as I have had yelling "The Atlas Right is dead!!!!", it is not. Atlasia has seen several landslides for both sides.

If the Atlasian right was able to survive something like early 2015, it will survive this. June 2015 saw an slightly better result for president for the right (58-42), though Dkrol/A. J. Stmarken I am sure was a much stronger ticket then than AZ/fhtagn is now (or RC/brughmger2 for that matter); while February 2015 saw a 54-32-13 result, with the Federalist ticket on third.

Not only that, but February 2015 saw literally 0 conservatives elected to the then unicameral Senate! (with Yankee famously losing his seat). By October of 2015, the left had only 1 of the then 10 Senate seats. (albeit with Griffin as president)

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

By October of 2015, the left had only 1 of the then 10 Senate seats.

:waves:


The right will be back eventually, barring a cataclysmic event in the life of the forum —but it's hard to overstate the drubbing they just took. Even in 2015, the Federalist collapse was tempered by the existence of other forces to oppose the left —TPP held the balance of power in the Senate, Yankee's defeat was engineered by the anti-Federalist center and resulted in Hagrid (a conservative and former Federalist chairman) becoming Senator for the South, and crucially there still remained races that the left just could not win. Even Bore in his reelection romp could not carry all five regions, and that same election PiT trounced Hagrid to recapture the Southern seat. On the inverse, during the permanent Fed majority of 2017, Frémont remained as a bastion of leftism without a single elected Federalist officeholder for most of that year. For the right to be completely shut-out everywhere at every level is simply unprecedented in the history of the game.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This is incorrect.


While Truman was indeed a Senator in October 2015, he was so as a member of TPP. Labor did have a Senator, New Canadaland. And Talleyrand got elected as a faux Federalist with Labor votes in a Special election and then proceeded with the expulsions of New Canadaland and Cassius, who were replaced by Barnes (registered indy) and Maxwell (who jumped between Make Atlasia Great Again Party and Labor several times).

So while Labor was without a Senator during sporadic points, the left was most certainly not without members. And then in early November when Maxwell was replaced by Celticempire, Lumine resigned and was replaced by leftwing Turkisblau.
