Are you of Lebanese descent?

That's a cedar on the Lebanese flag.

It belongs to the pine family

Sir, you are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

[Thermodolia]

I would actually think about voting GMS before I vote for you Lumen. It would have to be that bad for you to get my vote.

National states isn't real life and in a primary or possible general between me and Tarsonis I would win if they were the incumbent mayor or Governor That quote of "You'll have to deal with power outages and food shortages while the union works out their issues with management. I will be sending pizza to them in solitary and so should you " would be an ad blasted all over the state.

There would be ads showing the suffering and I would defeat him in landslide.

You couldn’t even win a vote in NSG, how the fuck are you gonna win a primary between you and Tars?

Besides if just run against you and beat ya in the general anyway.

[Thermodolia]

Hey man, you can act out whatever fantasy you want, they're your dolls.

It is fantasy but its also the reality of the world. You would not win a primary or general after actions and comments like that no matter who in touch with the people you think you are.

Dude you’ve said you don’t care if half of humanity dies and you’ve supported killing 50% of humanity to save the planet. You’d be roasted in an election

NSG isn’t real life and neither is Reddit, Facebook or Twitter. Your a wannabe dictator. I’d win over you.

I dunno, I won most people in the thread, I'm sure I can win others. Specially when I reframe the discussion as helping average everyday kickassachussetsians defend themselves against the Deep State Corporate cabal and the Democratic party. I can think of about 15 states I'd win on that platform alone.

Plus your a veteran and that gets votes by itself

Sir, you are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Objection, cedars are - in fact - part of the "pine family" (Pinaceae), so are hemlocks, firs, spruces, and pines. Cedar trees and pine trees both belong in the Pinaceae family (in two different subfamilies, for that matter).

And if we follow this thread trail back to where it begins (emphasis mine):

Ngl, pine tree flag, best flag.

Are you of Lebanese descent?

Then we find that Prima is not correct, technically or otherwise because cedars =/= pine trees

You’ve literally called humanity a virus. You’ve advocated for the death of 50% of humanity. You support firing workers who strike, you’ve dissed union benefits, you’ve openly supported keeping people working without pay, etc.

I’ll just run as the combat vet who’s trying to fight the deep state from firing the working class Americans and turning them into slaves.

I’d win hands down

You and I will never run against each other and if I ever ran for office I wouldn’t make it known here.

[Picairn]

In an election between you and me I’d win.

I would actually think about voting GMS before I vote for you Lumen. It would have to be that bad for you to get my vote.

I'd rather tear my vote than to vote for either of them, a Trumpist machine or a union-hating neoliberal.

As much as I find hilariously bad this pissing contest over an imaginary world you've fantasized up, what's the point of all this?

Again we all know your real name, it’s really not hard for anyone to do a quick search of candidates in NY with your name.

It’s all because Tars said that if he was ever a mayor/governor he’d support the unions and workers. And Lumen thinks that Tars would lose because of it

None of you are going to do that because there is no way you think about me that much.

Looks like Dems aren't the ones to take advice from lately on how to win. Maybe they ought to change up their playbook and unapologetically and radically support unions and working class Americans.

I mean, Republicans are doing a good job of pretending they care about the working class. Lots of the working class hates the woke shit though

I will agree with you on this. I wish some in the party would drop the I must be offended by every little thing and what someones pronouns are and drop the anti police rhetoric. Start focusing on real issues like the environment, the economy and inflation.

I should hope not. Your post history would doom your campaign.

I wouldn’t, because I don’t care but I wouldn’t bet against someone leaking all of your posts to the media

I doubt anyone would since I would not make it known here I was running.

So let's see if I'm getting this write *checks my notes* the Democrats need to be anti-union, anti-trans, and pro-police brutality. Am I getting this right?

[Luminesa]

Okay so talking about doxxing three pages in.

Yes of course I had to rejoin back into this hell-pit because sometimes part of my day involves looking at this thread and despising its existence.

Anti police is actually gaining more support. Recently in a Phoenix suburb a bunch of parents stormed a police line in front of a school after there was a report of a school shooter.

The would be shooter was captured but Uvalde has severely damaged the image most Americans had about police and now many are not trusting them.

The democrats would be stupid to give that up

Your attitude isn’t helping either. Essential workers deserve to be paid fairly and not work excess hours. Nurses are on strike in MN because of these reasons, and after dealing with the pandemic, they deserve a fair raise. We are already extremely under staffed at our hospitals.

I did not say they should be anti trans. I fully support trans rights but drop this idea of idea of introducing yourself with my pronouns are. No one I know does that.

I never said pro police brutality. You can talk about police reform without mentioning defunding it and get people to support you.
