Hey its growing pains for UCC, learning about actual conservative positions and the reasoning behind it is excellent for growth both as a player and a human being. Inevitably their will be mistakes

As you can probably tell, I'm more experienced with the economic conservatives than the social conservatives, so I probably should've gone as a libertarian instead.

I’ve never heard an “affirmative action damages the economy” argument before.

Sounds like something that could very easily be interpreted as racist

I've heard it before. Since, apparently, it damages meritocracy or some stupid thing like that, a more qualified white male could be passed along for a less qualified black female in the name of affirmative action, reducing productivity and causing harm to the company and to the country as a whole.

I think I need to make Mateo a bit more centrist.

by **Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:36 pm

Matteo does not quite seem to understand the demographics of Florida

by **Tallahassee News Station** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:37 pm

Oof, Andy just kinda bluntly insulted Mateo there off his own mishearing

by **Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:39 pm

Bad Matteo you destroyed a priceless gem of a comment

by **Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:40 pm

Matteo must think he is in Sippi or Bama. He must only visit the panhandle area.

He really should’ve been from the panhandle.

A red District would be well suited for him, regardless its going to be hard to go up against Hazel.

Hey guys!

Taking a week away from NationStates. Just had a pretty shitty breakup and I’m not feeling the best.

See y’all next week.

I mean homophobic policies would prolly win if Florida was the Panhandle and North Central Florida.

by **Tallahassee News Station** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:44 pm

Intentionally or not Mateo does do a pretty decent job of sounding like an establishment/socially doesn't care or liberal businessman trying to guess what he thinks cultural conservatives are like and pander to them

by **Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:46 pm

Well I think all Florida Senate candidates should be below average in quality thanks to the current 2 candidates

Intentionally. He's economic policy all the way. All he cares about is economics, economics, economics. He does have a few genuine stances on social issues, such as dealing with criminals, with drugs or gambling (since he's the former CEO of a gambling company, I believe you know his stance..), but the rest is just whatever the voters want.

Also, we seriously need to revive Westminster before WCC Ignorance Syndrome becomes a real thing.

Nah, the NY special was a special thing. Mateo's clumsy but he's not a joke char or anything, and Hazel being extremely weird is what makes the race fun/interesting

by **Tallahassee News Station** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 4:49 pm

Heh, you don't have to respond to Stev now Dent with the other things running, that one can wait till a slower patch

I said below average, not batsh*t insane.

I was thinking, two fifty's not a small amount, but do you think it might be better to loosen that up a little if a few big projects might do more good than a bunch of small ones?"

"It started as twice that" Emberton said matter of factly "I'd like to spread the wealth, it covers literally hundreds of counties and I have no intention of picking winners and losers. Maybe we could set a number... the commission must spread the amount among X amount of projects? With no grant exceeding a certain amount?"

Ella's best friends in Congress are gonna end up being two conservative Republicans

by **Tallahassee News Station** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 5:58 pm

You have that odd Phonz+Amaras sort of friends thing going on too

I wonder if that was part of Am avoiding calling for a resign/reelection or anything for Cali Sen
