Home of The Brave: A 1960's Political RP

[Chia Dal]

When are you going to post Elizabeth's interview?

Actually, I'm editing it right now!

Ok gotcha.

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

am I supposed to pretend that trying to stack the audience was an obvious move and totally not the entire reason Sofia so easily offered for the Fraser campaign to pay for the whole thing and come up with mutually agreeable details? Not like a campaign that's gone this hard on civil rights would accept anything less than around quarter black attendance to match the state population.

Also, Segregation is still in effect so that many black people wouldn't be allowed.

Segregation was allowed not enforced. I mean in 1960 in North Carolina the Greensboro four were able to go into a restaurant and sit down at a whites only table and all the business could do was refuse to serve them, police showed but they couldn't remove them.

they did this for 5 and a half months and as protests grew eventually local businesses just decided to give up on refusing to serve black people. No laws had to be changed to make this happen because, against, this segregation in private space, in the case of north carolina, was not enforced by law, it was enforced by the fear of what might happen if one ignored it.

nothing stops the fraser campaign from ensuring that the audience is 25% black (probably from local universities because the Greensboro four were students) as long as the venue agrees to keep open.

I'm very specific with my choices.

Nothing stops Broussard's friends from showing up and causing a riot. This is exactly what will happen if too many African americans are there.

Hey, save the juicy civil rights legislation for when Brown Jr. gets elected.

maybe, but not an undesirable outcome for Sofia either, particularly since she doesn't even personally like non-whites anyhow. nice opportunity for political grandstanding.

What does Broussard think of an Hispanic woman in Congress?

She looks white enough to pass as white, so he really doesn't know.

hmm, wonder if now is when sofia's third weakness should come into play a little. it's a colleague though so maybe not.

Isn't her third weakness that she's a lesbian or something? If so, what do you mean by its a colleague?

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

so much for congress being more active than the IC

Both places are open for posts at anytime for anyone. I'm currently planning the Debate with the other OP's so you can expect to have that to look forward to soon.

[Free Ward Marchers]

Announcment:

We now have a events/debates page, a link should be on the OP page, and side note the debate between Rep Broussard and Senator Fraser is going to start at 4pm PST tomorrow.

[Louisianan]

Senators, I suggest you get working to end this filibuster,

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

Senators, I suggest you get working to end this filibuster,

Yeah need someone to second so we can vote on cloture.

Unless Sharp objects before there is a second, in which case, the motion would die, causing the filibuster to last longer.

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

thank you Harry Reid for your blessed nuclear option.

though in this timeline we have Thomas Walsh to thank.

[Latvijas Otra Republika]

I don’t what that last cong post even meant lmao not touching any of that, Sharp can keep speaking

[Newne Carriebean7]

lol thanks ladhe

[Louisianan]

We are not using 21st Century rules, as well as this is not the beginning of the legislative session so your point of order is out of order.

[Deblar]

sooo... Sharp wants to legalize slavery, end African-American citizenship, and demolish the voting rights of African-Americans?

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

I don’t what that last cong post even meant lmao not touching any of that, Sharp can keep speaking

the purpose is to change the filibuster rules by precedent by saying that legislation that enforces existing constitutional amendments only need a majority vote, and then if/when the chair rejects this, appeal the ruling. Then all you need is a majority to agree to the appeal, then the new precedent is set.


In theory you can use this to kill all fillibusters, but the argument here is very narrow and that doing this in this specific case is fine because this isn't normal legislation, it's legislation to enforce a constitutional amendment, that already got a super majority from a previous congress AND state ratification.

look up "Senate Votes to Change Filibuster Rules" and you'll fine the same move being pulled to get presidential nominations through the senate despite a filibuster.

Of course the other benefit of all this is getting Sharp to say that outloud and watch as democrats like ladhe are mute on the issue despite being "liberal".

Never thought I’d be looking up American Senate filibuster legalese but here I am

Almost, Sharp wants to repeal the 13th Amendment, make africans either the property of white folks or "partially" white folks. He'd even be fine with an almost role reversal, if a black man wants to enslave a white man, then Sharp would be fine with that. Though , he would then call up his friends in the Nazi American Party to form a Cacucasian-American Rights Party that combines the legal prowess of the NAACP and the brain of Senator Sharp. The one thing Sharp would be "liberal" on is that he wants to put in place citizenship tests for blacks.

Yeah, Sharp can't seem to keep his mouth shut in public, so he'll suffer some flak in both the presidential and senate runs of his.
Sharp: "Slavery is good, let's bring that back."
Citizen: "What's next, bring back the Confederacy?"
Sharp, *hiding the confederate flag and declaration of secession for Mississippi*: "uhhh, no, this is a matter of the state's rights to deny human rights."
