The Death of America

Greetings and Salutations, My Fellow Americans and Ajay:
I want to start off by congratulating Paul Proteus for having class and bowing out of the race with class. Paul, I would have voted for you as CP, but the fact that you are such a stand-up guy has made me love you even more. Take it homo or no homo, but I just wanted you to know that, bro. Run again soon! You are one of the few who show class here and do as you say. For that, I applaud you.
For those that don't know, about twenty days ago, I left the Federalist Party because I was tired of politics with
Let's go back to May 25th, the day of Congress elections. It was early in the morning when we learned quickly that something was definitely wrong. Instead of a line-up of qualified AMP candidates, AMP's candidate list was as follows:
Free Area then revealed to everyone that he was actually a Serbian sleeper, who had come into the eUSA eighteen months prior for a Serbian PTO mission. Personally, I give kudos to him for being such a fantastic player... working his way up one of the Top Five parties until he was finally elected as the party president, but that is neither here nor there. Ultimately, the nation joined together... now with two of the Top Five parties in the power of enemy factions. Well... the nation joined together... for a few hours or so.
With shouts all over the place warning people to not vote for the AFA or AMP in the elections, ATO seemed to be working well. Faced with a new clear and present danger, Americans joined together. Non-PTO members of AMP and AFA left the party to vote for non-PTOers and the USA's own gazillionaire, Max McFarland 3 took it upon himself to reward many with CC he purchased with RL money. The eUSA was a community unlike what I have seen since returning to eRepublik.
That lasted for all of a few hours, however. Eventually, leaders of the United States Workers Party and the We the People Party grew enraged at the following shout: AMP and AFA are PTO'd. Vote for Feds, USWP, or WTP!!!
I mean, why should the Feds be listed first? Neither alphabetical nor ranking order should determine who gets listed first, right? Ultimately, there is no reasoning for this kind of butthurt when something more important is going on, like defending America from a PTO. Country>Party>Self, right? A disgraceful ending to a disgraceful night, although the ATO Operations were mostly successful.
The next election after this debacle is coming up in the next couple of days, the Country President elections. Here in the Land of the Free, we are forced to deal with Ajay Bruno (and the new Free Area) threat by utilizing a process known as "Unity voting". This process creates a way to promote a "safe" candidate (a non-PTO candidate) for the Presidential elections to compete against the Ajay/PTO candidate. Each party holds a primary, and winner of the most primaries become the Unity candidate and is then supported by all of the participating parties. This has been going on for awhile now, and I personally feel that it is a crock of sh!t, but it is what it is, I guess.
At the beginning of the current terms of the party presidents of the Top Five parties (sans AFA) and the major Sixth Parties, President Artela met with the newly-elected party presidents to discuss the Unity process. Should it continue, be amended, or scrapped altogether? The overwhelming consensus was to continue Unity voting for at least another month, and each gave their word to once again participate in the process.
Until yesterday, that is. Apparently, if your candidates loses, that voids any and all agreements to safeguard the nation. Well, according to the Feds, that is. In the words of the Federalist Party President, bigcdizzle: The Feds will not endorse a candidate this month. in his childish article full of butthurt and whining. He also shows a complete lack of class and tact; just like his party members who have all changed their avatars to a calendar with the Number “31” on it. Luckily, the candidate that they are all butthurt about has more class than the lot, and has already backed the winner of the Unity process.
I’m quite sure I will get the standard "lapdog" comment from the new Pfeiffer and tons of butthurt in the comments below from those who have no idea what I am saying here, so let me be clear: Stick to your word, despite the changes and Change what is wrong with the system instead of acting like a four year old with Asperger’s syndrome.
You don’t agree with Unity elections?
➲Vote for a party president who opposes it.
Your party wants to support their own candidate?
➲Don’t participate in the Unity process ever, not only when the party is butthurt.
You want to not be the laughing stock of every person seeing this from the outside?
➲Quit being butthurt derps!
You don’t want people to call you Pfeiffer?!
➲Don’t act like a version of him with tits.
In under thirty days, people in leadership of each of the top parties have acted like spoiled children. None have been innocent, not the Feds, nor the USWP, nor WTP. With each, nothing has been solved and the cracks in the community has gotten wider and wider. It is time to stop acting like idiots and expecting things to go your way, then whining when they don’t. It’s time to put your foolish pride aside and do what you have agreed to do. With each stupid act, you are killing the eUSA even more. How much more can it take before we see the death of America?

voted for justice
voted for truth
As one of the guilty (although you didn't name me.. I got my own paragraph!) You're right.
Meow! ♥
http://prntscr.com/1803mo oh hey! I forgot to add this..
Yeah I've seen that a few times, I heard RGR was sending it around. As a Fed, I want to say that's not party policy nor indicative of anything except frustrated members on IRC on a frustrating day. Not defending anything, but I do hope that nobody mistakenly takes IRC logs for party policy, or even necessarily general attitude.
Voted for delicious drama (and truth)
voted for for freedom....whatever that is.
F'ing narly article. Hit the spot and blew my damn mind. OH HO! this is epic. PURE GOLD!
Next month remember me to nominate Jude Connors for POTUS.
Voted.
Well said, Jude.
"At a time when we should be focused on a war with what might be the strongest nation in the game, we are dissolving into a Civil War in the metagame and weakening ourselves more and more as a united nation daily."
Ah, I don't know Jude...There are those of us that would rather ignore the morass of your so called metagame. What passes for politics in the eUSA. We are working this war and in case all those of you that do nothing but run around and talk unity didn't notice, we are winning!
Give up on your silly political arguments, political life in eUSA is a mess, probably always will be and join us on the battlefield. STFU and fight!
That's quite insulting, assuming that others aren't fighting.
Yeah I see those 4+ year division 2 warriors trot out there occasionally.
The battlefield is NOT the only aspect of the game. You have to talk to other countries. Decide laws. Etc.. and so on. Yea - meta has issues. I won't argue that, but saying forget about all that.... isn't going to fix anything either. There HAS to be a half way point.
I will apologize for the bombastic nature of my phrasing. Yes there are other important aspects of the game. But to declare the United States dying or dead at a time when they are doing well against a superior country and coalition also is being overly bombastic.
The eUSA is not dead or dying. The community is rallying to the cause, some cause, any cause...just something different from the same old unity/anti-unity cries. About the only thing most people hope for from the politicians is that they can safeguard their module of the game. This has apparently proven too much for them.
Good God folks, I could care less about who runs the government or the parties. In many ways the status quo may be as toxic as AJ himself would be. I know about talking to other countries, pushing the right buttons, controlling immigration etc. But with all the level of power supposedly under the unity banner, things now seem to be worse than they were 6 months ago. Not necessarily being threatened by a PTO, but in stifling the game and the desires of the players!
Those of us not interested in the political games are willing to help. I have voted more ATO, blocked in more elections, than I can remember. What we are not willing to do is see our efforts and goodwill squandered by those that don't seem able to make any positive progress toward securing the module they themselves picked to be active in.
I think you half way agreed with Jude there.. whether or not you intended to. There are aspects of the game that are non political too. BUT if the meta people all just up and quit - what would happen? That is a sizable chunk.
FTR this is the words of a kitty who is leaving the eUS because.. as is SO obvious.. I'm too emotionally involved here and that just sucks.
😃 I do agree with him that it is a mess. I object to the portrayal that the status of the political mess is equivalent to the status of the country, or its population, as a whole. There are many health communities in the eUSA and in fact we are far from being wiped; we might just win this war!
He completely agrees and doesn't even see it.
Agree completely Jude.
Thank you for your thoughts Jude
Fantas-effing-tastic article good sir, couldn't agree more.
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
That keep calling me - they keep calling me
Keep on calling me - they keep calling me
When figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
That keep calling me - they keep calling me
Keep on calling me - they keep calling me
Also, I am officially announcing that any panache associated with the term "butthurt" is now over. It's use is no longer permitted. Everyone is now required to use actual words when trash-talking each other.
Wholehardly agreed.
