NPC Elections - Commentary Thread

Also, since we're coming full circle, will we start getting updates on what the NPC governments have done?

[OBD]

DA Plurality and Liberal majority are almost the same.

Well, you're both shades of blue, so I really didn't know what to do. If it helps, it should be clear from context which are DA and which are Liberal (though if you two ever get into a competitive race in a state my life would become more difficult).

EDIT: Oh wait misread. Lemme think about that.

EDIT#2: I'll change the color.

I'd certainly like to, but as I've said I'm overwhelmed with my present duties as it is (though the backlog is being cleared tonight, news/electoral/pandemic updates are being written as we speak).

I may include something like a dice roll to test how popular incumbents are when - if - we start the second cycle, but it's a tentative notion. This is an aspect that will have to be discussed when I open up a feedback process after the December cycle is over.

specifically the DA's and Ishan's Value Added Tax.

I am not part of the DA and the candidate for Senate under the DA opposes a Value Added Tax and a former DA Congressman opposes it, so this is a "good story".

I have not had the official support of the DA in any of my campaigns and the Chair of the DA voted for the Federalist, Brother Johnathan.

Reno, Nevada

The liars and cheaters in the Dishonest Alliance

Another "good story", and only Poirot has campaigned in Nevada and he is not part of the DA and his campaigns are independent from them.

I know you’re not in the DA, hence the “and”

So, most of leadership opposed it.

Also, as Dwarven Dragon said on discord, 2/3 (Dwarven Dragon, Elcaspar) Labor Councilors supported it and S019 wanted it to be higher according to Dwarven Dragon.

Ad in Oregon/Nevada

This literally just amplifies Labor's message, it's not even critical. It even says in big font "vote for labor"

It doesn't even say to support anyone else.

Yes and.

That's not even a criticism. There's no direction to vote for anyone else.

It is a ad for people to vote against Labor.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Vote for the Lieberals if you want to have a bad story, I guess.

So things have been getting a bit heated, anyone up to revive the debate idea?

I would volunteer to represent Labor but I've been absolutely swamped by IRL stuff, so... :/

They are insensitive and hurtful towards racial minorities

Deadprez is black and I think the only black person in the game and he's on the House slate.
Cao is Malaysian and is on their house slate.

So?

[Pericles]

So by that logic, the Republican Party isn't a racist party either? Just saying it's poor logic, find a better argument. Though it is also weird that you like to defend the right-wingers so much.

As far as I know, there have been no racist comments by any feds and nobody said anything about it and the Feds are inclusive towards racial minorities.

(1) If you read the speech, you would have realized that I was not referring to the Federalist Party as a whole but to a certain faction of it.
(2) Dog-whistling is the art of insinuation, not clear statements. I wonder what is, maybe involuntarily but still, insinuated if a certain member of the house brands civil rights activists as criminals or when a bill is introduced to the house that implies that hate crime laws are unfair toward white people.

A Fed Representative literally introduced a bill to end recognition of hate crimes, try harder.

I don't pay attention to the House that much and I oppose that bill and I didn't vote for Jessica

[Continential]

I'll retract my concern.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Lyin Labor continues in their quest to make real a fictitious alternative reality that does not exist in Atlasia. In September it was trying to claim we were out to service the interests of the banking class, even though it was a Federalist (myself) who authored and a then Federalist President (DFW) that signed into law the restoration of Glass Steagal.

Now it seems that the object of this has moved on from that to distorting our records on matters of racial equality and climate change. 

The Federalist Party does not contest the existence of climate change, nor even the existence of human induced climate change. What the Federalist Party does contest is the enthroning of Silicon Valley Tech executives as the next generation of oil sheiks or the crippling of middle and working class people by sapping their disposable income, while offering some "token measures" to say "we helped" after the fact. Fhtagn instituted the Carbon Tax as President, I helped worked out a compromise with then Laborite AZ To boost the Gas tax and push money into both highways and alternative energy research. Labor on the other has continually put the cart before the horse, banning and reducing oil production first, before the alternatives can be procured and produced at lower costs, thereby unintentionally triggering the first concern and leaving the rest to fall into place later.

Yes fracking has its problems, but cheap natural gas from fracking is what has nearly eliminated coal burning power plants in many parts of this country, while at the same time keeping power bills low, facilitating the ability of manufacturing and small business to remain able to hire more workers then would be possible if their energy costs skyrocketed.

And it got 1 vote.

Voting has ended.

By a vote of 1-5-0-3, this bill fails to pass.
