Actually Sanabel told me to have Miller investigate Schlang and gave me evidence. I’ve contacted him several times after but he hasn’t responded. I asked him for his opinion on this now by tg.

Does Taylor have any chance at going back to any sort of elected office? If not, I'll just make him ALP Chairman.

their is always a chance... albeit slim. Honestly his resignation after doing absolutely nothing and then admitting to defrauding the public to win his election is utterly crippling. Basically absolutely no one has any reason to believe him.

Should he just lie low for a few years, and have him be some sort of left-wing activist as people forget the resignation and whatever he did in the past?

He had a tough race for his seat but still a possible one before he dropped out of that. It's still close enough that he could probably try to get back in

And his resignation was stupid too. Then the people were probably annoyed that they had to re-elect him even though they already elected him, and that he dropped out too.

Of course he will, that's just taking the hit for his action

He could still win. It's not an easy road but its basically scrapping out all the stops to get into the runoff and hoping he ends up with a GOP candidate (or Flores) in the general as a beatable opponent

He's been reduced to the point where he's attempting suicide (and failing because the rules don't allow me to kill him even if he would realistically commit suicide), so I think that there would be an ALP candidate willing to take him on.

I don't think the guy is going to get a primary challenge from someone in the party that he founded in the first few weeks of its existence

Fair point. If I can get the AFL-CIO and all the unions behind me, I'll either turn the ALP into a syndicalist party (Syndicalism is a far-left ideology which advocates for union control over society) or run in the race. Maybe both.

If he was still running he maybe had a long shot at the unions

He kinda lost that when he dropped out of his own race

I'm not sure if pushing even further left is the best idea, and would the unions even get behind him?

It's the most pro-union ideology outside of putting scabs on the firing line. He has a meeting scheduled with the Chairman of the AFL-CIO, it just hasn't begun yet because none of the Co-Ops or Prolieum saw the post.

Right but I doubt the unions themselves would ever be so bold and even support such an ideology. unions in the US are weird, keep that in mind.

You didn't. I searched up. I think we should have the meeting on August 31st in order to ensure that the heat's off a bit.
