Found an alternative to the political compass. It's old, but I think it's still more accurate than the political compass, or at least more transparent. Here's where Senator Cross is on it:

Pro: Second Amendment, Patriotism, Space Exploration, Freedom, Life, America, Justice, Science, Conservatism, Economic Freedom, Industry, Capitalism, Libertarianism, Establishmentarianism, Manifest Destiny, 1950s America.
Anti: Leftism, Socialism, Religious Fundamentalism, Extreme Feminism, Censorship, Political Correctness, Fascism, Excessive Gun Control, Subsidies, Religious Extremism, Affirmative Action, Authoritarianism, Political Correctness.

I have dinner now. Could you either pause the debate while I have dinner or forward the questions directed at me to my TG's, where I will post a reply to the questions in the forums afterward? :unsure:

I am sure you could - just post in the IC or I guess even in the debate thread as it is part of the debate (your choice but don't go spam crazy tweeting). You can act like an analyst discussing points candidates made or as random people questioning what was said. I'll pull some questions from your tweets as the debate is collaborating with Twitter. By the way, as there are so many people, may I ask who your character is?

Character Information Sheet


NS Nation Name: The Boras
Character Name: Sora Mikazuki
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 44
Character Role: Representative for Washington
Appearance:
Character State of Origin: Washington
Character Affiliation (Democrat, Republican or Non-Aligned): Democrat
Main Strengths: Appeals to Moderates and Centrists, Good at Domestic Policy
Main Weaknesses: Shunned by Progressives and Comservatives

Short Bio: Sora Mikazuki was born in Bellevue, WA in 1972, as a second generation immigrant to Japanese parents. She got into politics during the 1993 US Elections, when before, she had cared little about politics. As she was of voting age, she not only began to learn about the candidates, but the American political system itself, with aspects such as the Two-Party System and the Democrats and Republicans. As she was of voting age, she also begun cultivating her beliefs, turning out as a Third Way Centrist, and as a result supported Bill Clinton in the election, and helped his campaign by volunteering, after his New Hampshire 2nd Place victory.

In 2000, as Bill Clinton's presidency was ending, Mikazuki decided to continue his Third Way legacy, first running for Mayor of Bellevue. After losing that, she ran against Rep. Adam Smith in 2002, but eventually lost by a margin of 10% . She tried again in the 2006 House Elections after, sitting out the 2004 election, and won, becoming the Representative of Washington's 9th District.

Other Info: If I do get accepted, I was thinking of having something like a posting schedule, maybe a weekly post or something?

This was the app.

I was wondering about the $150 thing - seemed incredibly modest, weird to me that the crowd would be chanting about it. Zara probably should've said something more.

Also Indian Empire, you realise my character wants universal healthcare too, right?

No, that wasn't what she wanted, how ridiculous! She wants to buy 1.5 trillion individual solar panels.

I was a little worried about the democratic field being strong, but this debate has so far put my fears at ease.

Yeah, that's what I meant by 'single-payer' in my opening statement.
