We Don't Have To Keep Failing

Surely by now you are aware that the PP elections weren't as successful as they could've been. Yeah, it could've been way worse, but there is no mistaking that, as a nation, we are getting lazy and we made some huge mistakes.

I wanted to write a long article just bitching and moaning about how badly we messed up, but that doesn't seem especially productive. Let's talk about how we can fix this.



Organization

This month, NOBODY was in charge of organizing the ATO. No one. There was no coordinated effort on behalf of the Administration, not even Homeland Security. Thankfully, Jefferson Locke stepped in and took it upon himself to put something together. If you don't know JLo, he's a newer player who is extremely smart and ambitious. He doesn't need to be told and he doesn't need to be asked to do the right thing and step in to help out. He put it all together and I honestly believe that without his efforts, we would've lost much more than iNCi.

We NEED better organization. We need a committed group working on these efforts for more than just a couple days. This isn't news. But Cerb put together the Department of Homeland Security. The fact that that organization has nothing at all to do with ATOs and helping to secure elections completely blows my mind. Multi hunting is great...it's important. But it's only one angle we need to be looking at. Come on.



Strategy

I made this its own point, but really it works with the other two. Since I came back from the dead, the strategy seems to be doing whatever we can to cover our own butts. Gnilraps taking over Ajay's party and naming it We The People is literally the last time we made an offensive move against the PTOers. It's been months.

We have the numbers to give the AFA a run for their money, but instead we are constantly on the defensive and have basically surrendered a Top party to PTOing scum. We throw an ATO candidate on the ballot, but then they become a vote sink and jeopardize the rest of the elections because there is no coordination. It's not the candidate's fault, of course. It's this stupid mentality that just putting them there is enough. It's not.

Without any real strategy in place, you see conflicting orders everywhere or no orders at all. People aren't holding votes or using their vote as a weapon. Elections make it a 3 click day instead of 2 click. We can't get mad at people for not working together when there's no plan for them to work together on!



Unity

Elections are a numbers game. We waste A LOT of votes, and this month was probably the worst we've seen in a while. My party was by far the worst culprit, which is shameful. We burned up more votes in the Feds than the ATO candidate earned in the AFA. I hope all of the Top 4 really take a look at what they are doing right and wrong and how they can do this better. I know the Feds don't take failure lightly, and this one was epic. ATO and security are supposed to be what we do best. This can't happen again.

This is how it breaks down:
FEDS-92 votes wasted
AMP-69 votes wasted
USWP-35 votes wasted
AFA-89 votes wasted <-we didn't win and didn't even put on enough pressure to keep the AFA focused on their own party. Fail.

Pretty much all of the 6th parties combine for a FEW HUNDRED more votes that could've been used against our enemies. Mazzy Cat wrote a great article imploring the 6th parties to help more in this fight. I think that's absolutely necessary, however, if the Top 4 can't stop shooting themselves in the foot then I don't think 6th party support will tip the scales from defensive to offensive. If the Top 4 had it together, those 6th parties would make ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE, no doubt. Maybe them working in the Top 4 will motivate and inspire the parties to get it together.

We have to actually work together as a nation. That means everyone being on top of their game. That means not draining votes away with unnecessary parties and unnecessary people cluttering up ballots. WE HAVE THE NUMBERS TO WIN. We need to use them wisely.



If nothing else, we need to learn a lesson. We should be learning lessons from each of these elections, but Party President elections seem to have taken a back seat to Unity Election drama. EVERY election matters. Every election is another opportunity to not only strike a blow against the PTOers, but to make this nation stronger and more unified. We have failed. We didn't just fail this month, we've been failing for a while. Just because our seemingly endless failure hasn't resulted in a complete PTO is no reason to pat ourselves on the back. Our priorities are all out of whack and people are more focused on campaigning than actually getting stuff done. That has to stop or we will lose. Period.

Should we actually defeat these guys and secure the nation, there will be plenty of time for dirty politics and selfish nonsense. Priorities.

tl;dr version:
1. DHS needs to help organize offensive strategies during elections.
2. The eUS needs to get serious about stopping the PTO once and for all instead of just waiting for them to get bored. It's not working.
3. Every citizen can play a part in helping us win this war, but it will only happen if we work together and prioritize.
