[USWP] Dinnyin for Party President - Not My Party, Our Party

Mood Music: No Man is an Island

Greetings my fellow Workers! I come to you today to announce my bid for the office of Party President for the month of November.

As you are listening to the mood music I have provided, I would like you to think about what YOU want from YOUR party. This party does not belong to me, it does not belong to ANYONE who would oppose me. It belongs to YOU! The heart and soul of this party, what makes us the force that we are in this game, is YOU.

No man is an island. It takes all of us, working together, to make this party and this country GREAT!

My primary goals for this term would be:

1. Increasing our Party's reach - We need to add to the ranks, no question about it.

2. Engaging Each of You on Your Terms - As YOU are the heart and soul of this party, it is up to ME to listen to what YOU want our goals to be.

3. More Activity in Congressionals - USWP needs to regain our strong presence in Congress. We got a boost last month from AMP after we tried to get them back into the Top 5. We cannot count on that every month. We need more candidates. We need GOOD candidates that the people can rally behind.

This is OUR party, and it is time to take it back! Join with me in making this a reality.

Yours,

Dinnyin

You're a two term incumbent...from whom are you 'taking the party back'?

Paul Proteus Day 2,914, 11:18

that is actually a very good question

Dinnyin Day 2,914, 11:52

Well Henry, if I am to believe everything that you said, you are the one that put me here, through no action of my own. And apparently my 2nd term was all your doing as well. If that's the case, I guess that the people of the party need to take it back, from you?

Pfeiffer. Day 2,914, 12:02

Your own laziness required that I personally ask people to vote for you, yes. SColbert had the name recognition and my public support of you nerfed his chance, and you beat Kemal by a single vote because I sent votes your way.

You had the opportunity to earn the job, you didn't do so. That's through no fault but your own.

SColbert Day 2,914, 21:16

Implying my Trump themed candidacy was serious.

Pfeiffer. Day 2,915, 06:40

SC, he didn't even go find his own nominations. He's not on the ballot at all if I don't get him nominated.

Serious or not, you'd have won by default.

Dinnyin Day 2,915, 07:08

Actually, Pfeiffer, the second time around, I did go and get my own nominations. I'm very sorry that you had to help out a first-timer PP. But, that's your MO, everything is about you, and no one else.

Just like if you win PP this term, the party will revert to being about you.

Good luck American Addaway!

I don't understand pfeiffer's problem with you.

Somebody needs to take our party appeal to the next level.

is that you?

Dinnyin Day 2,914, 12:37

Gnil, I believe that it is. I believe I have some good insight into the direction this community is heading. The future of this party is engagement. My first 2 terms were all about engaging our membership.

Since I took office we've joined new members to the forums, surveyed the members about what they would like to see from the party, as well as engaged and aided other parties in their Congressional aspirations.

Our in-game Congressional member thread has more information on party positions for key votes, rather than just the barking of orders on how to vote. I believe that to be key to the growth of our party. If members don't feel appreciated and respected, they'll find another party that does give them that feeling.

This is OUR party, not mine, not Pfeiffer's, it belongs to ALL of us. I intend to keep it moving in that direction.

Gnilraps Day 2,914, 13:18

Philosophically, I am more inclined to support you over Pfeiffer.

Obviously pfeiffer represents a stability and status quo.

But as someone who also represents stability and status quo, I recognize and respect the importance of competent new leadership.

In my opinion, there is a lot more you COULD do. In my opinion you could be MORE competent. But in my opinion neither Pfeiffer nor I can be new.

For this reason you have my support.
