The Land of the Free: American Political Roleplay (OOC III)

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

I think I will, but maybe I’ll go for a different state, like Vermont or New Hampshire...

We don’t have a single character yet in Colorado

So many choices!!!

I still want a libertarian!

Ughh they are so over represented

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Someone make not-Collins or not-Gardner so that I have a flock to curate.

I would if I didn’t have sweet Sullivan, my moderanaut

Lmaooo, are we finally balanced? Like in terms of factions in Congress?

Like, I've got a whole list of Democrats to invite to Merriam's new 'Gang' but no Republicans. She would have invited Frankston but he's leadership.

There are like 2 overtly libertarian leaning Representatives and 1 overtly libertarian leaning Senator IRL

We have them all filled from what I understand

There is a brave new Libertarian candidate for President...

That's American politics for you. Only 4% of Americans are libertarians and 23% of people who identify as libertarians have "little to no understanding" of libertarianism.

It's a movement with massively inflated numbers, due to much of that 4% being powerful, or at least well-educated and wealthy.

I mean technically Sullivan is leadership too.

Yeah but she's not so high up. She's Manchin-ly.

Maybe not as low as 4%, but I certainly think the "20% of Americans are libertarians" bullshit is made up, or at least rigged to be that way.

That would work too. Maybe I’ll do Not-Gardner, since he could be a part of the Senate “moderate” faction, and fill the void in Colorado. Plus, interesting re-election fight in November.

I think Xath’s character was going to be a candidate for a seat though, not an actual sitting politician.

[New Cobastheia]

Why are we feeding Donaldson information about California, does he already know about that?

That'd be great! Just remember that "moderate" doesn't mean "libertarian". Look to Susan Collins, or Olympia Snowe, rather than to Rand or Ron Paul.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

Because Donaldson wants Holt to spy on Douglas and Simone.

Oh, yeah, that’s what I was thinking. The character will probably be female, but I’m not sure what else to make her.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

@The Orion Islands, would Senator Colbert be interested in a Gang of 14-like group to moderate and return cooperation to the Senate?

I’m pretty sure we have way more female Republicans than IRL...

Correct.

Does the sex really matter?

Yeah, probably should be a guy.

[Gordano and Lysandus]

I'd love to have more confirmation hearings more often. I'd like to be on the questioning side of the fence.
