I feel like it's too new to have any sort of impact, compounded by its lack of a public face. I see no reason why anyone would join or support the ALP when the Progs are around.; they overlap too much, and Progs are much stronger. The ALP will probably be relegated to like American Solidarity Party levels of relevance, or Constitution Party at best.

ALP doesn't have the money or the infrastructure to run for office anywhere, you need donations and fundraising to set that up

Russia: Did someone call?

Kyrlyakov's going to launch a scheme among the left-wing/far-left parties around the world to distribute funding more evenly. Of course, the CPRF will probably be miserly thanks to the Russian election, but they'll give a lot later.

As for non-illegal sources of funding, I'll set up a fundraising and activist network soon.

Bordering states don't give any bonuses, but I know asking a conservative to join a far-left party publicly has extreme drawbacks...

Just being from Michigan doesn't exactly give super politician powers....but I guess he can try to corrupt Walsh. Or Appleby, that would probably be easier

Rossi's been terribly emotionally traumatized, perfect time to make her question her worldviews and make her vulnerable to suggestion

Mild tangent, I think bordering states should get bonuses. Look at New Hampshire, historically its primary favors candidates from neighboring states

Basically politically My Fair Lady a hobo

*cough AOC *Cough


Seriously he campaign manager was the brains behind the whole thing, they just picked her because they thought she had good looks and a good story, now that he's gone... look how much less she is doing

Meh, she's a first term rep, obviously you take a hit dropping part of your team, and it's getting played up a little too high. She's got legit charisma besides the story

The team sport thing did not occur to me at all; subtleties do not fall easily and I do overthink things all the time. I work this trait into my characters all of my characters because otherwise I couldn’t dim them well lol

Kinda like Dent’s constant flirting

We all know that Anderson actually does have some "special requests" for the trip....

To make you people understand the predicament I'm in, Taylor is like one of the best drivers in the world, and being a Representative is like a car. He gambled his car to get a better engine for it to go faster. Now he doesn't have his car. But he can still drive.

He's a driver without a car, basically.

Anyone want to meet with Mateo? I'm really not in the mood for Taylor, tbh. I feel more 'political scheming' than 'masturbating to visions of revolution that you will never live out'

This is when he steals Ellen Walton’s car and crashes it into Norris Vilseck’s car

And he's also like "Sure, I could get that souped up Lamborghini to drive, but I'd rather take the Ford Pinto because Michigan"

Jared is probably going to end up bungling the sports metaphor since he's only mostly ever played golf/tennis (and pool)

Albano, though he is CoS to the SoS, can probably hook him up with services from his old political campaigning consulting firm

(Jared and McFarland very definitely are in communication with the whole machine thing, that's where he's getting the info that its Gov that she wants even though she hasn't told him)

Basically, yeah. The conversation is like this:

Taylor: I'd like to buy your engine, please.
K. Stevenson: Literally walks out of the bar with a tire iron and rips out Taylor's engine from his car.
Taylor: Oh, damn, I have no engine now. I'll get one soon.
Taylor's constituents: You want an engine? Gamble your car for it.
Taylor: Fine. Go ahead. Wait, no, nevermind, let my friend do it instead-
Taylor's constituents: I'm still taking the car.
Taylor: Well, what to do now?
Walton: Hey, Taylor, you know the Progressive Car Club rules. No red cars. Despite the fact you're about to lose your car, we just figured out your car was originally red, so you're kicked out.
Taylor: I already put in my resignation, but it looks like it got stuck in your mailbox again. Look, I have no time for this.
Walks out to the library angrily, reads several books on blacksmithing just to steal Walton's car, and then begins forging his fake keys.
Walton: POLICE! THERE'S A MAN PRACTICING BLACKSMITHING WITHOUT A LICENSE!
Taylor: Attempts to break into Walton's car while the police are still arriving

And here we are now, at the present.

Why does it feel like Jared is explaining the concept of mortality to a child

Um?

[Alozia]

Hillary Clinton is allegedly hosting a fundraiser and I'm fucking scared she might run again.

She won't. Probably. But she just might. (Which would be fucking hilarious because Biden's already in the race)

[Uttland]

Um?

Just the way he's talking and the sports metaphor and the smile, it just feels like he's taking a small child aside and explaining that no, Grandpa isn't waking up anymore

[Alozia]

Also, "Chairman McFarland"? Does the DNC at last have a chairman or what?

Vil is the DNC chair

Far is an NPC IL Dem head

She’s back..........

I doubt it, she's long gone and will go gently into that good night (my goddess, my love)

In all seriousness, no she isn't. The fundraiser is probably for Biden or some Dem congressional group if anything. She has stated she has no interest in running ever again, repeatedly.
