Re: Office of PSOL—Beginning of the Institute of Atlasian Progression

[PSOL]

In an incredibly tight vote, I was elected to the Chancellery today. I thank all of my supporters in this momentous occasion. My initial tenure shall be marked with clear professionalism in the office.

[PSOL]

Ministers of the current cabinet of Lincoln

Elections: Vacant

Justice: vacant

Interior: Vacant

Created ministries:

(In progress)

[PSOL]

In my rights as Chancellor of Lincoln, I nominate Councilor PyroTheFox for Lincoln Speaker.

[PSOL]

It pains me to do it, but I am handing in my resignation as Chancellor of the Region of Lincoln. Personal issues has left me time to deal with only being a mere Councilor. I thank all of my supporters for granting me the position of Chancellor in this pivotal interval of Atlasian history.

[PSOL]

I am running for my re-election to the Lincoln Council. In doing so, I plan to further aid in crafting legislation for all Atlasians. Such successes include the Taxation Adjustments Act’s equally successful referendum, the Homeless Integration Act, and various amendments made in the current sitting of this council. My other activities outside of my albeit sleepy Chancellory have been the failed Reasonable Gun Control Modifications Act and Intoxicant Screening Reform Act, both failing due to lack of active voting.

Outside the government, I have also had my active presence in the largest representative body of the Working Class, and the largest rank-and-file organization in Atlasia of this time, the A.C.L.O. I revitalized this union as I did with the level of participation and debate as a Councilor of Lincoln.

Voting for me would bring about the same level of quality legislation and civic attentiveness to the constituents you won’t get from other politicians.

So who’s with me?

[PSOL]

I hope for all of my supporters to keep the dream running in both races I am apart of.

(Speech in Syracuse, NY)

Greetings Lincolners. In light of the current chaos in Atlasia, I hope many can see me as the choice of clarity and sanity. It is likely that Lincoln will be further embroiled in drama of epic proportions once more, and as such, Lincoln must be prepared to weather the crisis, even if that means wading deep into it and pulling the trigger of Peace.

My career so far as a Councilor has been immensely active on the Atlas forums that have held Atlasia. In that time, I have tried to make myself be above the fray of engaging in Discord drama. Also, when I do get sucked into action across platforms, I try to be the hard stick of rationality and a hitter of Peace.

I hope that the people of Atlasia can see that I feel the same way they feel when the s—t that comes out of forced drama impacts Atlasia, and that I try to fix the issues with a proportionate hand. But, as of now Atlasia has covered itself in the excrement of an alien squid after our honorable president and coalition government tempted, and thrown straight into the fan mind you, that very excrement of the attention seeking alien squid. Now I will admit, there has been a bit of our excrement mixed in there, but it is rabbit pellets to the mountain of watery hell with chunky bits that has been emitted by the unholy abyss. It somehow looks overwhelming in its altering non-Euclidian geometries. In short, in all honesty, both sides do not do it in any way similar to make it a comparison. But either way, I usually call out the bs if the ruling coalition warrants one.

So anyway, as I fixed the last crisis by bringing together the actors to bring peace in the face of the Lincoln Defensive Counter Act, I am willing to abort the drama for a bit by menacingly swinging the club of Peace around, half-hoping it doesn’t hit the wrong way, and yet ending the threat the same. Vote for PSOL if you want a force for Atlasia, and specifically for the Region of Lincoln, to end the drama.

[PSOL]

I am utterly thankful for the people of Lincoln to bring me to another term in this fine congress. I am eager to work in this fresh Council with my glorious Labour members, along with the populists and liberals to create a better Lincoln

On the agenda:

• Maintaining Lincoln as a secure place, prepared for any drama originating on Discord
• Dealing with the issue of malnutrition
• Urban sprawls and liveable cities

[PSOL]

With space being a major issue, I have my own thoughts about it. Namely, while I do think that space exploration is a needed accomplishment for the human race, that shouldn’t mean abandoning Earth or prioritizing space exploration and eventual exploitation over Earthly amenities.

With the exploitation of the stars definitely being a lucrative venture, we must have the laws in place to prevent galactic damage. We need to ensure that any space junk left out there doesn’t pose a long term threat. Some of you may not know this, but the bacteria and viruses on earth have been shown to survive and become mutated in space, and I’d rather not create an insane health scare. Furthermore , the issue of property rights to traveling bodies of matter will be insanely hard to craft.

On settlement, I’m down with it, but again we need laws to prevent A Pandorum situation. With weapon systems being the second major thing installed after nutrient-assuring plants, things could get ugly fast. Another issue is that space could be used as a location for escape for criminals, megalomaniac Techbros, Tax evaders and cranks, and particularly overlapping cultists present in Atlasia. In all seriousness, we need to simultaneously fix the stuff here as we go on with space travel and possible settlement.

On foreign policy, if by some chance we contact extraterrestrial forces, we should have proper guidelines on how to interact with them. I’m 100% in favor of treating sapient and sentient species like regular people in terms of laws and norms; such as with welfare, citizenship, marriage laws, property rights, and anything else we’ve done on this blue marble to foreign powers. For this to be a success, humanity itself must speak with one voice, and said voice must be dictated by a more democratic union of nations then the imbalance present now. Tangentially, such a thought is the same for any host of nonhuman beings, from elves to robots.

In my current position, being a minor Lincoln councilor, I cannot do much. But as a Vice President looking down on a divided (hopefully implemented) parliament, I hope to be the tiebreaker that picks the right choice. Currently, while space travel is supposedly all in the rage, very few of the political establishment actually moves on this venture yet. It has been mostly platitudes and vague statements. That needs to change, and as known about me, I’m the character that looks 50 miles into the future while swinging.

[PSOL]

I am hoping that the presidential candidates be wise on what’s best for Atlasia.

[PSOL]

I salutate that those on the left and center appreciate the bill as it stands. No brainer that the obstructionist ACP oppose effective climate-related taxes.

[PSOL]

It’s election time again in Lincoln. So as of now, I would be accepting any endorsements for another term as councilor.

Endorsements

[PSOL]

As my plate has gotten full, I can no longer fully do my duties as an officeholder for the time being. That’s why I’ve decided to not run for re-election and seek other fruitful ventures in a casual fashion. I thank all my supporters for being there when we, together passed bills that improved Lincoln dramatically. It’s time however for me to wrap things up and prepare to give my all to other sectors and places. Stay tuned for more information.

[PSOL]

Hello Fremont! I have traveled from the great land of Lincoln to the quaint outskirts of Fremont. I plan to serve this locale well as a member of parliament, and am eager to work with my possible fellow parliamentarians. I first need to prove to the people...

1. That my previous work makes me well prepared to take up the job. As a former Chancellor and current union head, I hope my resume makes me prepared to get things done.
2. That I have the views to lead us forward. In my time as a union chair and in the Lincoln council, I pushed the Overton Window to the left— tackling poverty in Lincoln , correcting discrepancies of income and wealth, standing up to internal and external threats, and being nationally known for my advocacy on nonrenewable fuel taxation.

I am opening up the floor to any questions and concerns the people may have, along with endorsements.

Endorsements:
HenryWallaceVP
Pericles
First Minister Harry S. Truman
Razze
Chancellor S019

[PSOL]

I thank all my voters and endorsements for believing in me to serve the people of this fine region. You’re all great.

[PSOL]

Greetings Atlasia! It seems like there is finally being work done on fixing Atlasia. Many of the game mechanics have been left to degrade in the tenure of GM Mr. Reactionary, and the grand Labor party has moved to cut the do-nothing GM loose.

I can say from experience that Mr. Reactionary has been inactive for long enough in his post. For my initial tenure as chair of Atlasia’s fine union, he has pushed off or ignored most of my directives for this game, seemingly pushing off all the work on his deputies. When I tried to then ask him to get my messages to the deputies he has employed, all of them said that they haven’t heard a peep from him.

There has to be some sense of results from all the policy being passed, much less the discord drama threatening a crisis, that permeates this game. Now, Atlasia would understand the inactivity if the man would say he’s busy with personal concerns, but alas, he has the worse communication response time.

It’s time to move to Aktion in this game, and of course I’m happy to see Labour fight against reactionary’s fails

[PSOL]

Hello Fremont! Election time is around the corner, and while I hastily set up something to get elected show my accomplishments in Fremont below, I’d like to give a reason for my lack of activity late last year. Due to the holidays and work, I could only be available to vote on amendments. I hope my uptick of activity and legislative accomplishments is enough to get your vote!

Since 2020 began, I have been especially active in debate and providing my own input to legislation. Under my recent tenure, I along with my colleagues in Fremont have created a more prosperous region where it counts. I hope to get your vote, and am opening up the floor for questions, concerns, statements, and endorsements. Glory to this beautiful land.

[PSOL]

Today is the day to commemorate the life and achievements made of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In this man’s participation to make sure the pendulum of time swings toward Justice, he was brutally murdered under dubious circumstances, to the benefit of the hidden Aristocracy in Atlasia. I, along with many of our colleagues, have fought for justice, plain and simple, that tackles all the ills faced in this beautiful land. Let us commemorate the achievements yet move together to make sure the pendulum stays on the side of Justice by remembering this Democratic Socialist who was major in the ongoing movement for civil rights.

I hope that my work is at least fulfilling to the spirit of the Poor People’s Campaign, as that is the bar many must meet to truly make a difference. I thank you for your time.

Hello Seattle,

I am here today to kick off my cross-regional campaign by heading to this city to tell you all that everything is under control. The recent incident with the sick passenger from China is being taken care of, and the medical infrastructure of Fremont is thankfully above the code to tackle the spread of disease. The only thing we need you to do is to be aware of the situation by disregarding fake news and only listening to the experienced official medical sources. For more information on how to take care of your travels and your health, along with general information on this virus, visit https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/lunar-new-year-2020 for more information. Finally, I would like to say that I do hope for a speedy recovery of the man currently hospitalized for an undetermined illness.

I hope to kick off my campaign by highlighting major regional issues that need tackling, as the previous consensus of negligence and allowing hostile actors to act in detriment of the workers has harmed Fremont.

 Minister PSOL out.

[PSOL]

My hope goes out to the friends and family that lost a piece of themselves in the midst of the loss of Kobe Bryant that the pain dimmers with time. Like all people who die from preventable deaths, this is a tragedy.

[PSOL]

I’m using public transportation to get to Boise, Idaho. As a candidate that supports free public transportation so that people can get to their work without hassle, I vote on and urge all members of Fremont to support increasing infrastructure for it. In areas of high population density, such as the East coast, it makes sense to put in a heavier density of tracks to avoid traffic congestion. What is usually talked less about is expanding such services, perhaps not just railroad, to the interior.

Currently, Japan is contributing a hefty amount for our public infrastructure in California. To avoid conflict of interest in the future, I would suggest the local and national governments start investing more into these services.

[PSOL]

Scratch that folks, instead I’m heading to Porcupine City, ND. A quaint little city famous for being the provisional capital of the Republic of Lakotah. I will give an announcement sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.

[PSOL]

If any of you have been living under a rock for some time, I’m informing you of major news. There will be a March Against Imperialism on Nyman to protest constant Israeli aggression against the Palestinians. The current death of the two state solution could have serious implications on the stability of the region. I urge all Atlasians to sign the petition against imperialism, and pledge to attent the Nyman march.

See anyone of you there!

[PSOL]

Even though I would prefer that thr33 should not take office, the handling of this election with bumping up lwp by the Labor party apparatus goes too far. It is clear that from a gameplay and moral standpoint, Atlasia needs to go with having unseen ballots and closed party lists. That would work to prevent such shenanigans in the future, while also making things more competitive as people aren’t pressured to vote by what the party or their friends desire.

I urge anyone to join me in this position so that we may improve the game.

To be fair, in the past secret ballots led to an (attempted) stolen election and party votes/lists prevents ranking one party's candidate 1st or 2nd and ranking the rest of your ballot for your registered (or lean-toward) party, which is how some swing voters vote.

Party lists also consolidate power in the hands of the party establishments while hampering down on (non-GSB, PAX, ACP, or Mario) minor party, Independent, and write-in bids.

If structured properly it could work. Plus, it’s not like most Atlasians vote for the person being elected anyway. Most just react given on which friends contact them to vote for whatever ticket is handed to them. Voting for party lists is essentially just a centralized way of doing that, in which voters can gauge based on past turnout and registration who is going to get in.

The claim that it would harm third parties is also false. We are right now in an One-and-a-quarter party state. It is clear that the current system is geared to be worse then the FPTP situation in the USA for third parties, what with the easy deaths and absorption of opposing parties. Even the current major third party, the ACP, is merely a group of more organized federalists that ended up overtaking the larger party into relevance. It is merely a dominant faction. If using a 5% threshold of votes to get a party into the hypothetical parliament, based on registration, it would be 12 votes, one and most of  another voter less then what it took to get representative Louisville Thunder elected. So with a few votes less, it should be quite possible for a third party to have an easier time. For a possible regional third party, it’s even easier.

If you’re so concerned about elections being stolen, well  then going by party lists is actually even harder to steal, given that it is announced beforehand what the lists are going to be. You’re point on the threat of a dominant faction is kind of already true, what with the hold of ACP and the labor party primaries ending the way it did.
