The Chronicle of the Death of the Green Party of Atlasia (I can still change the thread title!!)

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

The Atlasian Greens have a common goal: peace, understanding, commitment, and sustainability. We do not sacrifice our beliefs for political gain. We stand for what we believe in, and strive to make Atlasia a great place for everyone to live.

Green is focused on balancing the needs for the perfection of the human condition with the necessary and sustainable methods of having a society. Our beliefs are steeped in the idea of a common good for all men, women, and all others who breathe on this planet. Some pillars we hold dearly include environmentalism, labor rights, accessible healthcare and education, advancing human and civil rights, and more. This isn't just a big tent. This isn't just a meme. This is our future.

As for how we get there, we're going to strive for progress. This includes reforming our economy to a fairer model, preferably Nordic or social democratic, expanding on and fully funding universal healthcare for all, the promotion of universal unity and our ideals by funding to the arts and other mediums of culture, strict business regulation, et cetera.

The Green Party is committed to the fact that all of us are created equal in our creator's eye. We do not believe in solving problems through hierarchy, but through equality, equity, and thinking outside the box in order to solve the problems that plague Atlasia's political climate. Join me, my fellow Atlasians, if you too believe in fighting for your rights, no matter who may stand in liberty's way.

Until we hold a convention in the near future to establish our platform, I hereby name myself Acting Chair, and PSOL Acting Vice Chair.

Helloooo Atlasia,

Today, I am pleased to announce the foundation of the Atlasian Green Party. We fight for social ecology, liberation of all the people for the good of the human condition, and the work towards providing a sustainable future to live in. All of this is evident in our Ad-Hoc beliefs in the speech made by our first Interim Chairwoman, former Speaker of the Fremont Parliament KoopaDaQuick.

We formed this party to provide a grassroots-oriented, voter accountable alternative to the Labor Party. While there are many fine gents in that party, it is often too slow and very much a Byzantine machine to adequately address the issues Atlasians face today. We see such reasons be used to draw progressives, social democrats, and socialists to the ostensibly liberal Democratic Alliance, heralding themselves as the vanguard of reform of the game and an alternative. To many members that may be the case, but we will not let the message of change be used by the DA to co-opt real discontent among the Left.

We plan on making sure that there’s accountability, open democracy, and activity in the game. To do that, we will always allow for primaries and never have a clear cut slate with democratic acceptance after the fact. We also plan on using our record and campaigning to attract voters to view us as a good party to vote into office.

The future is one of hard work, that is undeniable. We will not have the numbers for a time of recruitment and campaigning to expand beyond the regional level as an alternative given the state of the game. However, we also see that there is real discontent with the game accepted by many in the established parties, and we’re here to pave the way for change. For one, both of the current leadership have experience in running functions of this party. We both were acclaimed politicians that ran on the side organizations providing key resources for Atlasians; a source of followed news and a key runner among others of a collective representation of working Atlasians. I don’t know about our president, but I’m excited in building my GOTV and recruitment bona fides in this fluid time.

The game needs change, as the views of many prominent Labourites, polling, and election results suggest. Labor is ultimately controlled by a tight knit, albeit fluid leadership that had repeatedly won 60+% of the vote for a year. There remains no left wing alternative to those who want something along the lines of either more radical, more transparent, and more accepting of radical new ideas that makes this game worth while. We hope to deliver lasting change by the wishes of our electorate and not what makes us electable to become a blob as some call it.

The party is open for cooperation on certain issues, electoral alliances, and agreements on a case-by-case basis. We hope to really leave our Mark with our members and Atlasians at-large. We are now open for questions and comments.

Damn the new party got a splinter party already?

[PSOL]

Damn the new party got a splinter party already?

I wouldn’t call us a splinter of DA, but we would love for many people unsure about Labor or the DA to consider checking us out. We are the natural home for the reformers and pioneers of new beginnings more on the left side of things.

PSOL was never a member of the DA, and I believe (and Koopa may correct me if I am wrong) that Koopa would have joined this party had it been founded at the same time as the DA by PSOL.

If I joined, then you could call it a splinter. As it is right now I have no intention currently to join this party, but I do wish them the best of luck.

How is this party different from Peace?

[GM Team Member and Deputy PPT WB]

How is this party different from Peace?

Judging by the members, they’re anti-labor

Well, we are planning to have a much more aggressive style of play than Labor, along with not being turned into an electoral blob without a clear identity at risk of serious defections like what happened recently like Labor, or become subservient like Peace. Further planks shall be made in our party, but I can let you know it will be more oriented towards actually having a platform and sticking with it early on in our existence, along with upholding our members to being active and talking about issues oft ignored such as stories by the GM and foreign policy.

We’re not anti-labor in the sense that we view Labor or even the DA as enemies, more of electoral rivals. We are open to coalitions and deals formed through negotiations for the best of all of Atlasia.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Neat idea!

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I'm interested, but I'm waiting until you siphon off more Peaceniks to make the switch.

[Continential]

I'm going to support you downballot after the DA in preferences.

[PSOL]

Nominations for leadership races are now open and will last 24 hours. We will not have a live, in-person convention due to the dangers of the recent pandemic.

I nominate myself for Vice Chair.

[T'Chenka]

I'm honoured to have a knowledgeable and helpful person like PSOL by my side.

[T'Chenka]

48 hours to submit party bylaws and a party platform.

This is now officially extended slightly, to make sure everybody who wants their voices heard in the Party has a chance to do so. Come over to Discord between now and Saturday night at 3am eastern (midnight pacific), or you can PM me and I can share your ideas with rest of the Party.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

You did send one, but the link was no longer valid, and i used it with a different account. You probably will have to send it again in the future.

[PSOL]

Due to personal and technical issues, I will get the party platform and bylaws done sometime tonight.
