Home of The Brave: A 1960's Political RP

[Louisianan]

Y'all can't just plan a debate....... the admins haven't even discussed it yet. Things are coming soon, wait, give us time to iron everything out. We were never officially asked about the debate anyway.

I did say whenever was fine.

We'll get back to you,

How is Fraser holding rallies in like four five states in like a week lol? Do correct me if I wrong, but shouldn't the whole travel + setting up rally + meeting people take some time? That's why I visit two states at most at every time.

This was going to be my tip. Traveling from state to state, and having tons of rallies may be possible nowadays, but it took time in 1959. Also, why are you attacking the opposing party so much when you haven't even made it into the general, you ought to focus on your primary opponent.

I mean I would, but the first time I started out doing this is Davis got upset about it. I can focus more, though.

Davis is an old liberal-conservative, who is watching fighting between his brother (Jackson) and his favorite child, (Fraser) going at each others throats. Do what you have to do to win the primary, but don't cross the line too much.

Don't worry, I'll only be doing three rallies, just doing a southern swing.

Well this means that Sharp's going to have to get out there and defend dixie, so he's going on the campaign trail to Arkansas and Louisiana. Arkansas to hit Davis on his desegregation of schools and Louisiana just to spite Broussard.

[Hopal]

I'm planning on having Douglas speak to some reporters and say that Sharp should leave party.

[Louisianan]

Newne, be honest, is Sharp supposed to be a sabotage character?

[Newne Carriebean7]

No.
Sharp's just a grouchy old man. He makes mistakes, but I'm sort of taking his weaknesses and strengths into account when I post something with him. He takes his personal experiences such as being a child laborer for menial tasks and thinks that the 'youth' would need it. Though he is notoriously stubborn so far and he's bucked his own party on several votes simply because of his blind fanaticism to the needs of Mississippi (and a little bit of his personal preferences) He may have political experience, he's got weaknesses in that he hasn't delivered a whole lot "for" Mississippi at least to certain Mississippians and that he tends to open his mouth when he really should just let things spill out.

I mean the strengths for Sharp is that he's not easily bossed around or manipulated, he's willing to do some sort of bipartisan compromise and he's popular with the racists in the South. His stubbornness is a doubled edged sword after all, he might be willing to parade back home in Cedar Grove and boast of slowing senate legislation that would be "hostile" twoards Mississippi. He's simply an elderly statesman of the Democratic Party, really outspoken with his dixiecratic viewpoints, but an old man that's trying his best.

Newne probably has the best/funniest selection of like RP roles/character/nations/whatever I've seen on NS

I think you might've been in 2024 (?)

No, I apped as Turkmenistan there but I couldn't get through the application without throwing in stupid jokes.

I'll just say this, he's not as popular with the racists in the south, as you think. If he was less like a random old man, and more like a George Wallace, then he'd have better chances, currently, Boone is the favorite in the South. If you want him to be popular in the racist south, make him less goofy, and more serious, with actual plans, not illiterate plans that make no sense and could be Popeye The Sailor Man's campaign platform, and not a real politicians. Also, he is on track to lose the Senate Race.

On the less serious side, Sharp is strange.

Oh yhea, oops
Thought you had something in Africa

[Latvijas Otra Republika]

Sharp is probably like 20% of all RP activity ngl

I assume that Jackson spending more days in each state, would allow him to talk to more activists and establish more local connections?

Brown Jr. would be open to a potential meeting with Jackson in Boston

I'm still waiting for Brown Jr. to visit the Williams household in Lansing Michigan.

Can I make an Alabama Senator who is neutral on segregation?

If it is well written. Write one, and we'll see how it is. You could always make a character to run against Sharp......

Give me some time and I will have an app up.

ALSO, we still need more Representatives, A House Maj Leader, A House Min Leader, a Senate Maj Leader, a Senate Min Leader, a Vice-President, and also, there are other executive positions to fill such as governors, cabinet members, and others.

If you wish, I can make my Senator more moderate so he can be the Senate Majority Leader. What would be some good strengths and weaknesses for a Senator from Alabama?

That is for you to determine and me to judge.

I thought that's what we had Fredricks for, or would it be someone as governor Fredricks as a living being of Sharp's senate nightmares and not just scary images of paul simon that'll drag Sharp from the senate with the help of Earl Boone.

Honestly if Sharp has more than one enemy, it works both ways for him. If there's a division in the anti-sharp vote, then that might enable him to eek out a plurality in the Senate primary and hopefully numb enough anti-sharp votes to win the run-off. He'll need to convince people that Sharp is somehow better than the other guy and he'll be able to deliver enough bacon or hopefully have so much news happen that unless his opponents keep him on the backfoot and keep bringing up his controversial actions while senator, it'll fade away from the poor mississippian's thought when they come to vote, they see a bright and shiny "Sharp for Senate" banner hanging from a road and convince them to vote.

Or Sharp'll just have some poll "watchers" make sure at least a few counties vote his way, he wouldn't mind playin' dirty too.

I'd be open to creating a moderate or even independent cabinet secretary. I'm thinking maybe a Lucius Clay type figure, a close friend of the president serving with him in World War II, who maybe Davis appoints Secretary of State later in his term.

Fredricks was never accepted, it was simply a skeleton app iirc
