Voting to confirm (not-Kavanagh) had felt like the greatest disgrace of her career, so the matter felt important to her in particular. "What do you intend to do with your various opponents if you win?"

Levi Murphy Rally
Reno, Nevada



While the Senator was backstage preparing himself for the rally, practicing a few lines, sipping on a bit of water, the campaigns manager in Nevada would preface the crowd prior to Levi arriving on stage.

The Hispanic woman who was the Levi Campaign Manager for Nevada took to the stage. The crowd cheered for her, she was clearly known by some of the enthusiasts of the Senator. She was handed the microphone and began speaking.

"This is the kind of crowd I like to be around," she said, the crowd roared in excitement. "I like to be around progressives, activists, working class families and communities, the kind of people that will push forwards with a new politics. I remember how we were all inspired by the radical, yet common sense platform of Baginski in 2016. Medicare for All, free college and the elimination of medical and student debt, the legalization of marijuana nationally, fair immigration reform, putting working people first with higher minimum wages across this nation. He inspired a movement, one that transcends the color of your skin, your creed, your sexuality or your gender. We are working class, we are young, we are old, but most of all: we aren't afraid. The mainstream media tried to tell us that Baginski was too far left, when really all he was proposing was fair solutions to the major problems we were facing. And solutions that the majority of industrialized countries around the world already had. The spark left by Baginski is the spark that lit the torch of this campaign. Senator Levi Murphy inherited the guts, the vigor and the drive from Baginski. Levi is the only one talking about Medicare for All, the only one talking about a Green New Deal. Levi is the only one who should even be considered a real progressive. Let's welcome him to the stage, the next President of the United States of America. Senator. Levi. Murphy!"

The Senator jogged on stage. Twisted Sister's 'We're Not Going to Take It' played in the background. He spent a moment waving to the crowd and shaking the hands of the few in the front row who were reaching their hands out. He music began to soften moderately as Levi took to the podium and gave his manager a hug, she then left the stage and the lights were positioned onto the Senator.

"Thank you, Rosa. It's true. Baginski built a movement. Many of you in the crowd were all supporters of him. So was I! I was one of the first to endorse Baginski because I, like many other, believed in his message. I still believe, had it been Baginski vs Wolf, Wolf would still be on his pathetic Fox News talkshow." The crowd laughed and cheered. "Baginski helped build this movement and we plan to carry his torch to the end of the line! But people like us shouldn't be the exception, because the Democratic Party was in fact far more radical, ambitious than people claim it can be today. The Democratic Party is a party of generations of advocacy, activism, the party of FDR, Kennedy, the party of the unions and the party for racial justice. So, let's take it back! It was FDR who believed in Medicare for All, it was Johnson who also believed in Medicare for All. It was Kennedy who said that the U.S. was falling behind in healthcare! Now look at us, we are not longer just behind, we lose 40,000 Americans each year due to the healthcare crisis facing our country. This not only impacts the poorer states in our union, it hits everybody and everyone. I would dare say that everyone here would know someone under insured or uninsured. That might be some of you here. If that is you, I want to say sorry. Sorry that our political environment will not reject the donations from big pharma and I'm sorry that you're suffering from the neglect of the political establishment in this country. But, we need to fight back. Organize, volunteer, donate, fight back! Yes, we are in favor of Medicare for All! No, there is no middle ground on this issue! It's either Medicare for All, providing universal healthcare to all citizens your plan leaves millions uninsured. No, the public option is not good enough! Keeping private insurance is not good enough!" The crowd roared along, yelling 'not good enough'. "Our political establishment is not good enough. Time to kick them out!"

Levi paused, looking out into the crowd. "We need to begin to demand more from our elected representatives. Demand more, not less. We need to ask ourselves why our elected representatives are voting against measures to institute sensible, progressive reform from prison reform, to healthcare reform, to education reform. We need to take a sledgehammer to the hivemind in Washington D.C. and clean out the swamp for real, this time. Wolf's fake populism did not end the swamp, President Wolf is the biggest swamp creature there. His cabinet is picked straight from Wall Street: trust me, if I am President, anyone from Wall St, big pharma, the military industrial complex, they're gone. I won't even listen to what they have to say. They've had too much sway over our politics for so long it's time to give the power to the people, not the major corporations. Restore power the people, like the John Lennon song. Power to the People! We must ban all corporate donations to political campaigns, ban lobbyists, clean Washington D.C. out. Let's make our voice heard, let's make this political revolution real, and demand more from your politicians. Because, at the end of the day, you are their boss, not the other way around."

"We must also demand more from the other Democratic Presidential candidates. Why, why are the other candidates attending fancy, elite fundraisers with the wealthy and well-doing! It's time to call these people out, who do they represent? What kind of people can afford thousands of dollars for one ticket to attend an elite dinner to hear them speak. This is part of demanding more, having a D next of your name doesn't make you good. The only pocket I've got my hand in is the pocket of big US." The elicited clapping and laughter. "Why are you, Jillian Dayton, Ben Little, Emily Davenport and Erika Goldman, attending secret, closed-door fundraisers away from the public eye and scrutiny. I'm not good at patting the people in power on the back, I'm for giving a voice for the working class communities of this country. In may be a problem of mine that I am unwilling to play their games, that I am unwilling to hire these establishment advisers to my campaign. We are, instead, running a campaign for the many, not the few. To get real progressive representation, to fight for the working class and downtrodden, to not take 'no' as an answer and continue to demand more."

"So if I have to say one last thing to you all before we continue our political revolution across Nevada and this country, help continue to light it! We need to mobilize our coalition on caucus day to win and to win big, so that there is no question that the people endorse progressivism and working-class politics, not elite fundraising and 'middle ground' concessions.go to our website, volunteer if you can, donate if you can, share our campaign material if you can, enroll to vote, of course! Get your family, friends, cousins, all of them, to enroll! Let's win Nevada, for the many, not the few."

"Thanks Tim, but I don't think your arguments hold much water. Medicare for All and the public option are both very popular, I concede, obviously because the current system is an entire mess. The current system is asking everybody and everyone to fend for themselves or die. It's insane. While you, Tim, cite a statistic of 54% in favor of Medicare for All (still a clear majority), I have seen studies that show its' popularity at 70%. On that question, it's really where you go and where you choose your information from.

For waiting times, I've seen this argument brought out too many times, by I wasn't quite expecting it from you, Senator. Yes, it's true that there are moderately increased waiting times in the countries like Canada and the United Kingdom, but that's only natural for a system that looks after a whole lot more patients! I bet if all Americans could somehow afford their treatment, waiting times would be as long or longer. It's only because in our country that poor people skip going to the doctor or re-prioritize their mortgage or student debt over medical costs that our waiting periods are shorter. But let me clarify something for a moment. Like in Canada and in the UK, the waiting times to not matter if you're in need of immediate life-threatening help, because you're boosted to the top on the line. So people in need of emergency care are treated. That's the kind of system that will operate under Medicare for All.

On taxes, the vast, vast majority of Americans do not need to be concerned about costs going up. Under a Medicare for All system, it eliminates premiums, co-pays, deductibles and so on. So the total costs, not taxes, will go down for the vast, vast majority of Americans. The taxes will be raised on the big corporate, the wealthy CEOs with a wealth tax and closing the tax loop-holes that exist in our system. Think of it this way, currently, the private insurance companies are charging all of us a private tax, one that is so extremely large that they billions in profit per year. This is an unsustainable system. The solution is to remove private health insurance for non-cosmetic procedures and remove the private tax that are levying against average, working-class Americans."

“Alright Levi, just a reminder that these questions are not mine and were provided by healthcare professionals and policy experts...this is a discussion, not a debate, so we’ll give everyone a chance to explain their plan and defend it against skepticism for the richest discussion possible.”

Westra turned towards Jillian Dayton.

“Senator Dayton, your healthcare policy is a very interesting proposal. I think you’re playing down how radical this would be. If one side of the aisle is a public option and the other side is single-payer, your plan is really the compromise, in my view. Explain it to us.”

"My proposal, as Senator Westra likened, is based on the Australian model, a system which by the way is viewed as the second best health system worldwide. Under my plan, you can keep your insurance, or you can opt-into a publicly funded health insurance plan. I'll go into the plan in a moment, but the two biggest causes of priced up care in America are drug prices and administrative costs. We'll be ending exclusivity circles where insurers limit you to an in-plan set of clinicians. Instead, you can go to whichever doctor you so desire, and your insurance plan will be forced to compete with other plans on price and coverage instead of suffocating you to a few doctors within a 20 minute drive of your house. Our public option will reduce prices because it will deliver a competitive alternative for those dissatisfied with their current plan, Medicare will be allowed to negotiate drug prices down. Under my plan if you want to head into a private hospital, you can do that and just pay the difference between the masterlist price and the price that hospital sets. That hospital will attempt to compete with the public network and other private hospitals in the area so naturally it will be bringing down its prices. Currently despite the minimal government involvement in our system, folks rely on their employer for their insurance plans and their plans restrict a patient to a specific set of clinicians in their local area. We're going to get rid of that, and give patients complete access to every clinician through any plan. Insurers shouldn't pick your doctor. The government shouldn't pick your doctor. You can pick your doctor. My plan strikes the balance between choice, and coverage. Between healthy outcomes and cost of service," Jillian smiled coolly in Westra's direction acutely aware the next question or two would not be so kind.

The White House, Washington, D.C.

Volker arrived at the White House, as usual for his meetings with the President, however, this particular one had the potential to differ form the usual affairs. Arriving with a moderate amount of time to spare, Volker presented himself at the foyer of the White House, politely notifying the secretary present that the President had scheduled a meeting with him shortly, before being led through to the entrance of the Oval Office, where he calmly waited to be called through, going over recent developments and the order of business within his mind as he waited.

The Oval Office Secretary led Volker through to see the President, who stood to shake the Congressional Leader’s hands. “It’s good to see you! What brings you here today,” he enquired.

Porter Fundraiser and Retail Politics - Reno, Nevada

Porter needed to rebuild trust in his campaign, and he was going to do it one handshake at a time. One little handshake at a time. That was all. He began his fundraiser, drawing in local people with free entry, and then shaking their hands as they came in with a warm smile and then having them buy food, drink and a host of other things. Porter, despite his usual hard-spininess, took to the task with a glee and with warmth.

He shook people's hands, took photos with them and asked them to help out volunteer, donate and generally work to make the nation a better place. Through this warmth and spirit he could come off as genuine, as someone who really wanted to make the nation better. His charisma not only was present in his ability to draw crowds, but in his interactions with people as well.

He simply told them what he believed, in calm yet well-spun terms. He had a script and he stuck to it, without looking at all ingenuine. He flowed through the crowd like a hot knife through butter. He spoke calmly, almost sedated. Once the fundraiser finished, and he took all of people's questions, slowly psychologically influencing them, he went out into the main town with those that would follow him, knocking on doors for the entire afternoon, with that charisma and sedated smile.

He talked to hundreds of people, with his supporters probably having talked to tens of thousands by the end of the day. It was clear, by the end of the day, that his strategy was to rebuild trust in his campaign and in himself, starting with Reno. Of course he had the hard right behind him, but that wasn't enough to win an election, so he began his renewed campaign with this strong yet calm tone, of a leader determined yet not driven by pure fury. Of course he would still take strong rhetoric at times, but he'd never do it with fury. He'd do it with internal strength. He finished his time in Reno, encouraging his supporters to go out to Carson City and recruit more people for the cause, both offline and online. He told them to share memes and take the country back, one vote at a time.

Closed-Door Fundraiser, Union League Club, Manhattan, New York


While he was in Manhattan with meetings for endorsers, Mike made the decision to do some high-dollar fundraising. His campaign was generating a lot of buzz, thanks in no small part to the Whitaker endorsement. His campaign’s priority was to start running ads in South Carolina and Nevada to further introduce him to the electorates there, and fundraisers like this certainly helped.

This particular fundraiser was organized at the Union League Club, a prestigious social organization with its roots in the darkest days of the American Civil War. The host of the fundraiser was a JP Morgan Chase executive who was a major bundler for Baharia and an acquaintance of Velez from his time as a major surrogate for the 44th President. In attendance were a decently large crowd of other executives from the financial industry, and other prominent members of the New York donor class.

After the guests finished eating and returned to their seats with an after-dinner drink, fundraiser’s host said a few words and introduced the candidate to the prospective donors. Mike took to the podium, flashing his white smile.

“The Wolf years have been decent for the economy, on paper, right? Not just low unemployment, new trade deals, all that. But more relevant to the people in this room, our stock portfolios are doing great and growth has been resounding. But I’m a numbers guy, I studied to be an accountant at the University of Michigan. I passed on those genes to my kids, for better or for worse,” he said to some chuckles in the audience.

“I say that because back in 2018, my son Pedro, who studies Econ at my alma mater said to me, ‘Dad, I think the Wolf cabinet should have taken my Economics 101 class, because even I know that we aren’t going in a great direction.’ He’s not alone, as you and I both know there are actual economists saying the same thing. We are due for another recession. Not only that, but we have a President in the White House who can move markets with the Tweets he writes on the toilet at 4am.”

There was more laughter from the audience.

“No matter what happens in November, that President will be gone. The question we are faced with is what we replace him with. Most of the Republicans are comical in their efforts to out-Wolf Wolf. Do you think Porter or Prendergast will be good for investor confidence and CEO outlook? You know the answer to that question. Of course, the party could opt for someone like Richardson. Richardson seems decent enough, to the layman. But by all means, Richardson seems just as interested as the others in furthering the Wolf legacy. The Republican Party seems intent on turning the United States into one giant Kansas. I have nothing against Kansans, or Kansas in particular. What I take issue with is the way the state government ran the state’s economy before (Not-Gov Kelly). For those of you who aren’t familiar, the Republicans in office in Kansas bought into the Arthur Laffer lies, ignored experts and cut taxes and deregulated the market to the point the state economy cratered. Public services were inadequate while the deficit grew. That is the future on the doorstep of our country if irresponsible Republicans are returned to office in 2024.”

There were murmurs in the audience.

“On the Democratic side- well, I’m sure you all have seen the headlines. Murphy or Westra would be a disaster for the financial and healthcare industries, let alone small businesses. Millions of jobs and a large chunk of the economy would be in jeopardy. This is something I know you understand- you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t.”

More chuckles from the crowd.

“I am the only democratic candidate who has included responsible stewardship of the economy as a key point of his platform. And it’s not just smoke and mirrors, I would be an experienced hand at the till. As Governor of Florida I balanced business interests with labor and consumer interests to preside over sustainable, real growth that outpaced most of the nation. I helped to build Florida into the dynamic market it is today not through hacking and slashing, but through mindful management and responsible regulations. I have a track record of working with colleagues across the aisle to enact legislation sweeping reforms, like the legalization of medical marijuana in the state. Our international allies know and trust me and I have experience protecting financial and intellectual property as United States Trade Representative. Unlike any of the other candidates, I know how to write a trade agreement, negotiate with an international adversary, and get the best outcome for American business interests. And if you’re not convinced, ask the two Secretary of States who have endorsed my campaign. Ask my countless colleagues both in Tallahassee and in Washington. I have the strongest record of any candidate for President. I would be humbled to have your financial support so that we can bring this record, along with strong, stable, experienced leadership to the White House.”

There was some applause, and Mike re-entered the crowd to mingle with prospective donors. Hopefully it would be a good night.
