Join the new world

Unity Bashing. It's in every Unity related article, CP announcement, cabinet conversation, POTUS Speech, VP Update, and government paper you look at. It's a group of people who constantly run around (And aren't RGR's band of idiots who should die in large fires) and spew the continuous piles of information about how evil the unity system is. It's an elitist way to control the country, it's a rigged system to give party presidents all the power they could possibly want, it's another way to keep everyone down. I could not disagree more.

I'm going to say it right now before I get all the hate that I'm sure will come with this article. I hate Unity. I absolutely, 100%, despise, detest, scorn, repulse, abhor, loathe, execrate, disdain, and hate our unity process. I hate the idea that game democracy has to be smothered by internal primaries and systems that keep the people from completely deciding the new President as they were meant to. On the 5th of each month. But you know what the simple fact is? I hate the AFA and any idea of one of their Serbian loving administrations even more.

The New System

The simple truth about the new system is that it still sucks, but it's better than it was before. A popular vote system is now including every sixth party that wants to be involved, it's based on direct democracy and directly voting for who you want as an in-game election would be. It takes more votes to rig a popular election than it does an electoral one (though the difficulties are disputed).

This new system was designed so sixth parties weren't a tie breaker and everyone was counted equally. I think that's an automatic improvement on a system that sucks. It went from a negative five in my mind to a negative three. (RGR still ranking in the negative thousand area)

What could improve the system

People complain that these primaries are for elitists, those who indulged the meta aspect of America and jump onto the forums to vote for another elitist for President. I think parties should learn to perhaps indulge the whole membership then. Hold your primary in a public manner through in-game voting, be it by messages, or different means like We the People attempts, get everyone involved in the primary. Even those who refuse to use the forums due to personal issues.

Give everyone a voice in a system designed to do so.

Why Unity Really is Important

The United States is occupied, has a PTO, and yet bickers at each other like five year olds over their gram crackers. Unity was designed to unify the members of the real American aspect of the nation so we could get behind one person to lead this nation. America needs unification now more than ever. We need unification behind the polls, in the battlefield, and in decisions. We're facing one of the toughest times in a while, and guess what? It's probably not going away anytime within the next five seconds.

Is everything I've said here right? Probably not. Unity sucks, it really does and I feel with everyone who thinks that. But until such a time that this nation can safely elect a leader through game mechanics. Stop complaining. Don't like an elitist, run someone else in the unity vote. You'd be surprised how well I believe they could really do.
