Name: Skeletons In The Closet
Validity: has internet, democracy
The Issue: One of your party's rising stars has come under intense scrutiny after old incendinary and offensive comments were discovered on @@HIS_1@@ Twitcher account, albeit from almost a seven years ago.
[Option 1] "How unfair this is!" wails the disgraced party member, throwing @@HIM_1@@self a pity party in your office. "There's no way I can win reelection with everyone against me! I made those twitches seven years ago; they aren't relevant anymore. I'll issue a public apology, acting as if I actually mean it, and you can come out in support of me again. It will be like nothing ever happened!"
[effect] the government tells it’s citizens to 'forgive and forget'
[Option 2] "@@HE_1@@ must be held accountable for what he said, even if it was almost a decade ago!" protests the Leader of the Opposition Party. "It's despicable that someone can get away with such nasty comments. I don’t care if what was said is from a few years ago, @@HE_1@@ obviously still believes it. You must force @@HIM_1@@ to resign, and special elections must be held immediately!"
[effect] jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians
[Option 3] "This highlights a problem within our government, and that's the use of Twitcher," notes your party's Director of Keeping Members in Check, obviously angry @@HE@@ did do @@HIS@@ job correctly. "People tend to say dumb things behind their social media accounts. You should just ban all governmental officials from using Twitcher, and make them delete their accounts, so that fiasco doesn't repeat itself."
[effect] the life of a politician is unexciting and boring
