Home of The Brave: A 1960's Political RP

[Louisianan]

The Debate Has BEGUN!

[Louisianan]

The Debate is going relatively well for Sofia this time around, but I can easily see a world in which Sharp hops out and gains some lost ground. Also, speaking of polls, if Ladhe doesn't campaign soon, Boone has a chance at passing him in the future polls.

Edit: We may live in that world.

the March post is up

let the slaughter-fest begin

[Louisianan]

Disregard the post made by taiwanese. It makes no sense blc the term no justice no peace was never used at this time, and plus, that would indicate that the protestors were violent.

[Dalmannia]

Boone’s going to capitalize on the incoming violence in Louisiana, Lahde’s silence and Sharp’s debate performance. With Lahde’s pro-Civil Rights position and Sharp’s clear anti-Civil Rights position, Boone’s going to position himself directly in the middle. With the tensions rising in Cuba and the protests in Louisiana, things are sure to get uglier as time goes on.

In the mean time, I might make some more posts with the Governor soon.

[Sao Nova Europa]

Boone and Jackson seem to have the same middle-of-the-road strategy on civil rights. Interesting.

I suspect it might get them the nominations so long as the competitors keep making extremists of themselves with debates and slander... but we’ll have to see! Boone versus Jackson for 1960 would be interesting given a similar stance on Foreign Policy and on Civil Rights. They couldn’t be more different on the economy though.

As I speak at this moment, Democratic House candidate James Brown is leading a mob of angry NNRC members

well, that seems a bit unfair

Oh it’s completely unfair, I agree with you. But keep in mind that Boone is in Florida, a state which was widely segregationist on the Civil Rights issue around 1960. The man knows his audience, and is doing his best to appeal to them, all the while painting the picture of an ugly and contentious conflict within the a Democratic Party between Democrats. To support his rhetoric of an unstable Democratic Party in need of unification, he’s taking the stance that everyone protesting and counterprotesting shouldn’t be. If anything is true of Earl Boone, it’s that the conniving old man has learned how to play the game of electioneering quite well.

Indeed. In that case, the main issue of the elections would be fiscal conservatism vs fiscal liberalism.

woah, that escalated quickly

[Louisianan]

woah, that escalated quickly

People need to get to work. A few bystanders may get hit, but even if nobody got hit, it would be pretty scary and may deter people from going forward.

[Dalmannia]

Oh my god. That did escalate quickly.

The thing that scares me the most about Hubert Broussard is that at first glance, he just appears to be some harmless (perhaps even bumbling) old man. The childish lack of care for breaking social norms and diving into common slang. Different from Sharp, who is always frustrated or angry about something. Broussard can appear friendly, dumb or docile when he needs to.

But then, in an instant he can reveal his true colors, and when you’re the lamb, you may realize too late that for the entire time you’ve been conversing with a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And then you’re done for. This precisely is what has just happened.

He is a good and loyal friend and an amazingly honest companion, just don't get on his bad side.

In the words of Charles Manson, "I'm a tramp, a bum, a hobo, I'm a boxcar and a jug of wine, and a straight razor if you get too close to me."

Welp time for Sharp to campaign in Louisiana and call for someone to defeat Broussard.

I honestly can't see why, they stand for most of the same things.

Sharp's just going to do a light jab in a radio contest about his "flip flopping". That's the one thing Sharp can't stand about Broussard, well that and he's still miffed that Broussard initaly wanted to get rid of the poll tax but then decided that he wanted to keep the poll tax. Sharp's train of thought is if you have an unpopular opinion, you don't get bullied into changing your mind about it.

See thats what i don't understand. Broussard wasn't bullied into anything, and his seat is so safe it wouldn't have mattered what he voted. Also, STAY ON TOPIC XDDDDD my moderator is getting miffed and might just leave. XDDD

Edit: I have determined that after this question, there will be one or two more questions before the debate ends.

Well Sharp's still a little sore about trying to be bullied by Broussard in his office, so he's still trying to figure out ways to unbury the hatchet.
He also doesn't like Broussard personally, seeing him as an obnoxious idiot. Though he sees Broussard as miles better than Boone on segregation and fighting for state's rights. He also dosen't like Broussard for his liking of President Davis, so Broussard's seen as not-the worst option for dixiecrats but is kind of glad he's not alone in a dark alleyway with him.

Sharp can't help it, he's an old man and his mind tends to wander, though he'll try to stay focused at least.

I think, just like last time, this debate could be a toss-up.

[Louisianan]

Quick note, nobody IC can post about the Protest until after we are finished RPing it out.

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

Boone literally went out and said that the cause of the civil war was forcing civil rights, on radio.

Looks like Kate Shelley's Daughters have some transcripts to copy and distribute.

If Sharp didn't think Boone was a socialist with his new deal policies he might even be persuaded to drop out and back Boone. But Sharp's not stupid enough to do that. He's going along for the ride either to the white house or to the crack house. That's the kind of sentiment that'll get Sharp's racist base fired up along with pitchforking president Davis and going hard after Senator Boone's new dealisms.

[Dalmannia]

Does anybody here remember breadlines and soul kitchens?

First we have James Brown, then we have Michael Jackson, and now we have Earl Boone referencing a Doors song eight years before it gets released. I love reading something over once it’s been posted and noticing golden typos
