The Land Of The Free: American Political Roleplay (OOC II)

[Sanabel]

Porter needs to stop playing the wonk, it is absolutely a losing strategy for a candidate with his track

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Holy shit it only costs $20 billion to end homelessness...Thought it would cost a lot more.

stop putting price tags on things

It's not my estimate. It's the HUD's.

I'm not playing the wonk, I'm just making sure it works behind the scenes, and he can defend himself in an interview. Remember all that calculation I did before Charleston? None of it was mentioned in the speech.

Why does it matter?

Politics is all about deception not actually accomplishing anything

[Main Nation Ministry]

Shit. I think Ben is getting the left dogpiled on him.

[Jovuistan]

Wrong thread, Vel.

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

Wrong thread, Vel.

And San

[Sanabel]

Bruhhh

[Main Nation Ministry]

Bruhhh

Sana, why.

[Velahor]

Anyway, scratch that app. I remembered my southern Democrat medicare-for-all guy. He's more important. What ongoing races do we have in the South that I can jump into?

Most pressing is the need for an incumbent governor of Louisiana

Interesting. Would we want a Democrat in that role or a Republican?

I could use the same character either way, just with a few tweaks. Basically, a dead-center moderate doctor who supports MFA.

Huey Long

YESSSS! Time to create Huey Long's great-grandson as the incumbent in Louisiana.

[New Cobastheia]

Incumbent Democrat

Huey Long

YESSSS! Time to create Huey Long's great-grandson as the incumbent in Louisiana.

OMG Yes yes yes yes

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

Incumbent Democrat

Huey Long

YESSSS! Time to create Huey Long's great-grandson as the incumbent in Louisiana.

If you make this guy, he'll definitely be a heavyweight in the Democratic primary. His endorsement would probably help crown the moderate leader and help swing the Southern Democratic vote. And probably a share of the AA vote.

[Jovuistan]

Incumbent Democrat

Huey Long

YESSSS! Time to create Huey Long's great-grandson as the incumbent in Louisiana.

OH FUCK

LA has term limits so to run for reelection, he'd need to have been elected in 2015 to be eligible.

That'd be fun Puert, I'd like to have a character of mine actually has a good relationship with one of yours lol considering Paulson's needling of Lilyana

This guy would also probably work really well with Papazian, but they have no reason to meet unless circumstances force it.
