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

What is Washington D.C? Is it the nexus of a national and global elite, hatching their plans for further dominance of the citizenry? Is it the home of statesmen, some falling from the path, but truly trying to make America a better place? Is it simply a carefully-stacked deck of cards, ready to fall as soon as doubts sweep in? Is it the hope of the angels of Madison, or the devils of man? Does the machinery of government move by the effort of the honest, the machinations of the wicked, or the inexorable trend of inertia and bureaucracy, heeding no man?

Perhaps it is simply a place like any other, everyday humans with delusions of grandeur thinking themselves more than they are, or simply struggling through their own days as do we all.

What is Washington? It is the capital of the Land of the Free.

1. The OP's words are the words of the Gods, but these Gods are not infallible, you can argue your position in a civil way but in the end their decision is final.

2. No real people or celebrities as characters. There is no Bernie Sanders that you can play. As per the introductory note, politicians post-Reagan do not exist, or have been replaced with generic stand-ins: you can play them, should you wish. Records and history are the same, including statistics, save in the places where player-characters have brought about a change.

3. Regarding absences- If you, for whatever reason, must take a leave from the roleplay-that is of course fine. But please inform us ahead and how long it may take. If you are found to have just up and left the RP, we may have to simulate how you character act in votes per say, especially depending on their importance.

4. When it comes to writing; please do it well. We expect a certain level of quality with your posts. One or two sentences will not be acceptable, but we can be permissive-if your character is engaged in conversation, a sentence is fine

5. Please make characters of quality and substance. We don't want Mary Sue flawless characters who are 30 year olds, models, former sharecroppers with military service earning a medal of honor and then returning from Iraq to attend Harvard. Those characters aren't very fun to play or interact with. But on the other hand-no sabotage characters. Just because you hate Democrats, don't make a hopelessly corrupt and scandal-ridden Democrat with no redeeming qualities.
6. No cheat-edits. Once you've made an IC post, leave it. Edits to formatting are all right along with typos, but don't try to change anything major compared to what you have already written, especially if it has already been responded to. If your character said it in public, it must stay. Gaffes happen, after all.

7. If you are not sure if something is legal or okay, ask OOC first. Always better to check-and there is limited leniency for things that are obviously bad.

8. No events that directly affect another character without permission first. In essence, avoid physical altercations and outrageous "accidents". Assassination is banned, any external action taken against politicians will take place in the form of an event.

9. No meta-gaming. Do not let the OOC influence the realism of your character's actions. If they are in a closed situation in which information is limited, they cannot state specific statistics, for example.

10. PG-13 limit. Per site-wide rules, nothing too saucy or racy. You know it when you see it.

Democrats don't seem to be claiming voter fraud when one of our prefered candidates lose. Yet, Republicans whine both in the Primary and in the General against their own candidates AND their Opponents!!!! Maybe stop the blaming and whining and get some real work done.

Governor Jim Slim @GreenMountainGov I find it a bit too convenient for Porter that these claims of voter fraud only go in one direction....

Harold Baines @MrBMayor When the extreme right realizes ultra-capitalism, racism and unfettered gun proliferation are unpopular with the masses they make cries of voter fraud to mask their unpopularity. Unbecoming of elected officials.

Arnold Wolf Jr. @ArnoldWolfJr Congratulations to Governor Richardson on his big wins tonight! The momentum is on his side!

Arnold Wolf Jr. @ArnoldWolfJr Quite a few sore losers out tonight. The people have voted and their choice was made clear in many states!

New York City, New York

Following the Super Tuesday results, Team Levi was excited. But, at the same time, it was disappointed that many of the Senator's possible delegates were picked up by John Donaldson in many of the states that he did well. After hearing word that he may be dropping out, Senator Murphy made the obligatory trip to New York City to meet with the man himself.

The way that primary rules and arcane party infrastructure have been mobilized against Bernard Porter is a national disgrace and brings shame on the RNC. @realLilyanaWolf must purge the RNC of those trying to rig the primary process in favor of Bernie Porter, and ensure a FREE AND FAIR PRIMARY. These are the same plutocrats that tried to sink Arnold Wolf! The same ones that gave us Ron Mitter! NO MORE RIGGING.

Richard Slater @SenatorRSlater While I don't personally have a dog in this race, the "polling errors" in Minnesota and some other states are rather strange, and the current delegate allocation method is incredibly flawed.

Richard Slater @SenatorRSlater Turnout also doesn't seem to be as high as it could considering our great success with President Wolf. Lots of conservatives dissatisfied with the choices I'm hearing. Step up your game you two!

Hello, everyone. As you know :clown: Globalist Richardson :clown: has decided to rig the polls against the Bern, so it's time we actually fight back against the fuckers and lead a charge! I am working together to organise as many Americans as possible, in order to prevent further electoral fraud in the primaries, and get some citizen's poll watcher organisation in! Lilyana and her globalist friends are clearly trying to destroy Porter, and we need to step up against her. Let's call ourselves something like...The Citizen Volunteers against Election Fraud (CVEF). Should get the normies looking the other way. I like the work we're all doing against the cucks, but it's time we actually win in this country!

Make sure to find the Republican primary in your state, and not only turn out to vote against the Cucktural Marxists, but also stop the Conservative, Inc. bastards from stopping our fight for REAL Americans!

Bring Back Our Jobs Tour
Levi Murphy Rally in Michigan
Lansing, Michigan

Team Levi didn't wait for the results to come through on Super Tuesday before moving on the next target states. The Senator was working a very busy schedule, and the campaign was being worked over-time to produce victories on the single largest delegate election in the primary. The campaign knew that the results would either make or break the campaign. The results were neither, to the puzzled nature of Team Levi and the closest campaign organisers. One the one hand, Levi had won convincingly in areas where he didn't think he would. They were preparing for California to be more marginal, but that couldn't have been furthest from the truth. Levi Murphy had a blow-out in California and had similarly convincing victories across the nation. However, the campaign was disappointed in his showing among the North-East. Dayton had a stronger edge in those areas than initially thought and she stole a surprise victory from him in Massachusetts, nearly defeating Murphy in Maine. That was a clear weakness, the campaign assessed, but they could make up these losses in places like Oklahoma, where Levi secured a strong victory, and places like Utah too. One of these states that Levi had a running chance in was in Michigan. He was ahead, technically, in the polling, but he could not take anything for granted. That's why the campaign announced a new tour to the campaign, called the 'Bring Back Our Jobs Tour'. It focused around bringing jobs back to states like Michigan, restoring manufacturing and bringing back industry to America.

Their first stop in the Tour was Michigan, in particular, Lansing, the State Capital. It had a high proportion of automobile manufacturing jobs, but they had lost many to the whims of globalization. Similarly, due to its location as the State Capital, it had a high proportion of government workers, many who are more likely to be unionized and more likely to support Murphy's candidacy. His arrival in the city was to galvanize these kinds of supporters onto the campaign. His rally location, too, was very symbolic. The campaign had rented out the building of an old, hollowed-out car manufacturing plant in Lansing to hold the event. The messaging was particularly strong and on brand for the campaign, it was unmistakable what he was trying to achieve by holding his event there.

"Lansing, thank you. Today is a brilliant day to announce our new Bring Back Our Jobs Tour! It is states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, my home state of Minnesota, Ohio - the list goes on, that have been gutted by Presidential administration after Presidential administration. No more! That's why I am leading the Bring Back Our Jobs Tour to barnstorm across this country to fight for the restoration of our jobs, back to Michigan and places like Lansing. As President, I won't be able to sit back and watch our jobs disappear into thin air. I can't allow that. I'm a union man, born and bred. A bus driver before becoming Senator. I'm not going to buy the political theatre in Washington D.C., that's why I am running for President. Because I can't stand it there, and we need a political revolution in this country. We've gone past the point of half-measures and appealing to the banks and big financial institutions. None of that, no more. Bring Our Jobs Back, or we'll take your jobs in the halls of Congress."

"Super Tuesday has been a strong victory for us and our movement. We won California, we won Utah, we won Colorado, we won Oklahoma, we won Minnesota, we won Vermont and we won Maine. We've been delivered a strong mandate by the working people of this country to fight for them. I look forward to add the state of Michigan to that list in a weeks time, friends. Despite being ahead in the popular vote, by hundreds of thousands of votes, we are still somehow behind in the delegate math. Hopefully we can make this up come next week, but this troubling to me. We cannot have a primary where a candidate wins the popular vote, but the party insiders select the other candidate! That's why I am calling for super-delegates to be abolished. They must be abolished. There is a clear dividing line in this primary. While we winning with the multi-racial working class, our farmers, and our Latino brothers and sisters, Dayton is winning big with the college educated, upper-middle class. That's great and everything, but she's not reaching the people that she needs to if she wants to win the general election! She'd lose Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania like Clifford did. And at this rate - we cannot afford to lose anymore! If you're sick of losing, join us and our movement to take back the White House for the many, not the few."

"The working class of this country needs action now and we're not going to get anywhere playing by the rules of Washington D.C. I will undoubtedly and unreservedly stand up for the working people of this country that have been continuously been denied the true representation that they deserve. No more to criminally-written trade deals to suffocate American workers, no more to bad paying jobs and dodgy bosses, no more to predatory banks. No more means no more and I will use everything in my power to bring justice to the communities devastated by the neoliberal consensus in the Democratic and Republican Party. The era of Clifford is over, it's time to move to policies that people can believe in, not tolerate. It's time for big thinkers and pro-worker individuals to get into Washington D.C. and tell them that there is no more waiting. I want to be one of those people for you, as President I would dedicate my life and soul to delivering progressive economic and social reforms. I'll start with universal, debt-free college for all students in America. Everyone deserves an education. Universal healthcare, with the elimination of private insurance, with the exception of cosmetic surgery. That will eliminate deductibles and co-payments for every American currently burdened with the cost of health insurance. I will continue to be unapologetically progressive, because I believe that's what we need right now. We're sick of people telling us to wait for later, the time is now."

"Most of all, I want to introduce an item that was left over from the era of Franklin D. Roosevelt. If given the opportunity of becoming President of the United States, I will authorize the establishment of a Second Bill of Rights. This Second Bill of Rights, to me, is a core pillar to to all of my beliefs. Despite being advocated for eighty years ago, the policy is still so relevant. A Second Bill of Rights would establish "the right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation", "the right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation", "the right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living", "the right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad", "the right of every family to a decent home", "the right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health", "the right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment" and "the right to a good education". As the richest country in the world, it is more than reasonable to codify these as human rights, given to all Americans as American citizens because we believe in the dignity of everyone, whether they be rich, poor, black, white."

"Anyone who attempts to argue that these aren't or shouldn't be the rights gifted to Americans, then I say, you truly do not understand the story of America. FDR knows more about the soul of this country than Nixon, Reagan or any other Republican administration ever did. He understood that we have an untapped power to provide a national jobs guarantee, move into a new green technological revolution and spur employment in levels unseen since World War Two. The right to a home, education, healthcare are simple, but many in our country are not even allowed to have one of these. With wages not keeping up with inflation, we've got a more important role than ever to lift this economy out of an impending recession and bring worker's wages up across the country. That's not going to come from political posturing, that's going to come from action and I'm ready to do that."

Our Policies

"For the many, not the few
means that we believe in an America where the bottom 99% are treated with the same respect,
same decency and with proper investments into their future. The current system believes that
it's fine to bail out the big banks, the large corporations and the criminals sitting in Wall Street.
We can create an economy that works for all of us, the many, not the few.
That's what I envision and that's what I want to be if I'm given the
opportunity to be elected President of the United States of America."

And besides, Porter's one of us, if he ain't winning, this country's falling to George Soros and his roundtable of anti-Western throat-slitters.
