RCV in terms of policy:

Would vote for them instead of Biden
1. Lechasseur (moderate populist, economically at least to the left of Macron. Good policies, would likely vote for him over Biden)
2. 538Electoral (good poster, populist, we have more in common than you initially would think)
3. Thr_33 (Former Democrat who still likes Sanders, but soft anti-immigration. I appreciate him. He has good views)

Don't know between Biden and them. Would depend on the campaign
4. PCQ (reasonably moderate, very likeable person, but not sure he would represent me well if elected
5. Grassr00ts (poster whose views i know the least)
6. Fuzzy Bear (reasonably moderate. Good poster, but i'm not sure he would represent me well if elected)

Would vote for them over Trump
7. OSR (based on policy, economically too much to the right, too tough on china (we need to be tough on china, but not everything is china's fault) but good on social policy and i like his criticism for Trump. Very good poster obviously.)
8. SN2903 (don't know his views exactly, Trump populist, but more innocent than Trump himself)

Would vote for Trump over them
9. French Republican (not a fan of policies in general from here on. Real conservatives. Doesn't mean they aren't good poster, our differences in policy are too huge)
10. Haley / Ryan
11. Fhtagn
12. Extreme Republican

I don't know every's position exactly, so i could've made mistakes

And who would win in this crowded primary. Difficult. I don't think OSR and PCQ are positioned where the majority of GOP voters nowadays are. Lechasseur is obviously too left-wing. I would argue thr33 is too left-wing as well. Fuzzy Bear would be the establishment choice (or OSR mainly because of his approach towards China, while adding something to the ticket. Haley / Ryan and Fhtagn would fight for the conservative Tea Party spot. 538Electoral could do well. SN2903 would do very well. I think 538Electoral and SN would be the main contendors with Fuzzy, Haley/Ryan and Fhtagn are outsiders. Grassr00ts is a good bet as well.

I'd vote for 538 or Lechasseur, as they are the closest ideologically to me. I think one of those two or SN would win.

1. OSR (would be reasonable on policy with the right congress, very good person)
2. PQG (self-explanatory)



3. Lechasseur (seems generally fine)
4. Fuzzy Bear (his worst positions on the issues could be curbed by congress and his FP would be good)


5. Fhtagn (sadly seems to have connected herself to the "own the libs" petri dish but I think deep down she'd not be as bad as some of her fellows)
6. 538Electoral (idk much about him except that he's hackish)
7. SN2903 (ditto)
8. French Republican (ditto)
9. Thr33 (edited, see below)

10. Grassr00ts (lol)
11. Haley / Ryan (basically the same but also far right on economic, but I think he has potential to improve)
12. ER (very dangerous ideology)

1) PQG
2) Lechasseur
3) OSR

(huge, massive gap)

4) Grassr00ts
5) Fuzzy Bear
6) thr33
7) 538 Electoral
Cool fhtagn
9) SN2903
10) French Republican
11) Extreme Republican
12) Haley / Ryan

I could, under just the right circumstances (far leftist loony candidate; some sort of scandal, etc), consider voting for one of the first 3. The other 9 would never ever get my vote; not even for dogcatcher.

It's a tie between Lechasseur and Th_33.


Thr33 is an antisemite. Just look here: https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=332777.0
My english isn't good enough to understand the subtilities of that discord related drama. I just can't understand it. I know the controversy, but always gave him benefit of the doubt. In private, he's a good person, but maybe he was trying to be edgy. Well, you have a point at least. He should've apologized. Why would you even discuss the Jewish "issue", and insinuate that they're all rich. He's certainly wrong, but I don't believe he's an antisemitist, unless i misunderstood things.

Thank you for linking to this thread. Now I know that somewhere, someone is treating the prospect of "Islamic China" as a credible threat to world security.

Parrot Guy, Laki, etc - I have apologized in private to a number of individuals for those caustic posts but I would like to issue a general apology to others with whom I have not spoken. At the time of those messages I spoke offensively, inappropriately and without tact and for that I apologize. I am sure that we may not see eye to eye on other issues, but regardless of political differences I regret posting those comments and understand why several people were hurt by them.

Thank you, and I removed my post Smiley The last post I've seen from you has been the one in that thread and I'm glad to see it changed.
These lists are obviously meaningless but I have to change mine because I can definitely appreciate this type of growth.

What about Lechasseur, as he is arguably one of the most moderate republicans on the forum too .

They would make an excellent ticket. I'd vote for that one. Lechasseur is also great, he'd be a great Secretary of State in a OSR/PQG or PQG/OSR Administration.

Some of these I would easily vote for in the general and some of these would be too liberal for my liking but would probably hold by nose and vote for them anyway depending on if there's a good third-party candidate for me to vote for instead.

I'd vote for either Grassr00ts or SN.
