Editor’s Note: I’m not going to delve into the Federalist Leadership’s decision not to endorse Tenshibo for President. They made their decision. And after reading Jude Conner’s article, I’ve discovered that he’s said everything I want to say about the subject.
Why can’t the Federalists elect a President?
It’s a serious question, considering that they are the largest (and presumably most influential) party in the country. But yet, over the past 12 months, they have elected 1 President of the United States.
Let’s break it down:
USWP - Six
Evry, Pfeiffer, Inwegen, Vanek (x2) and Artela
AMP - Four
Israel Stevens (x2), Cerb, John Killah
NCP - One
Glove
Federalists - One
Fingerguns
We the People - Zero
This certainly isn’t for lack of qualified people. By every metric, the Federalists have the most people ready to be President. Looking at you Molly and Cromstar.
And it isn’t for lack of desire or drive either. Jefferson Locke ran a few months ago, Paul ran this month and it’s no secret that both Josh Frost and Duncan Crowe want the PotUS chair.
But one of the most common themes I heard while chatting with people about this month’s election was:
I love Paul Proteus, but I cannot stand the Federalists.
A ton of people were turned away from Paul. Not because of him (he’s awesome by the way), but because of the people (and the party) that were pushing him.
And I can tell where they are coming from. Since gaining the top spot, the Federalists have been rather insufferable. Cocky, obnoxious and a lot of the time, just plain mean. They start threads on their forum to poll how stupid other parties are, during the middle of a national crisis.
And now that they have the top spot, and have realized they can’t elect a President, they want to change the rules and to ensure that they are able to.
They are just as bad as the USWP was at the height of their power.
The only difference between the Feds and the USWP, is that the Feds haven’t actually accomplished anything.
They can’t win an outright majority in Congress like the USWP did.
They can’t dominate the national scene like the USWP did (and really, still does).
Even while being the most hated party in the game, the USWP still managed to consistently win the PotUS spot, because people respected them. You could not, and cannot argue with the USWP body of work. You can degrade their attitude, and their style. But not what they accomplished. The Feds don’t have that to fall back on.
The only thing the Feds have managed to do, is adopt the attitude of the USWP. One of superiority.
One of belittling others. One of their party above all else. Including country.
What happened to the little party that could? The one that started out as a 6th party. The one that produced the best Secretaries of Interior and Education. The one that cared about all people, not just Federalists.
The party that was a home for all disenfranchised people. The party that still had the mentality of a 6th, but the voting power of a 5th.
Was all of that thrown to the wayside in the quest to be #1?
What do you think? Why can’t the Federalists win the Presidency?
My answer is; attitude.
Leave your answer in the comments so we can debate it.

Sounds about right
Well, valid point, but I'm going to disagree with your statement that the Feds have not accomplished anything of note. Dismiss it as more arrogance if you want, but the Feds have managed to dominate quite a few CP cabinets in recent years. Even if that was just to win our vote, you cannot dismiss the respect that follows trying to win a party's vote and selecting players of that party. To be honest, I would call dominating CP cabinets as dominating the national scene, even if it wasn't in the CP spot. Furthermore, the Feds have become #1 from #5 or whatever, because of the players, and you also can't ignore the struggle and media work that it took to get there. That's accomplishing something. Also, have you noticed how the Feds have been dominating the media in recent days?
To touch on the attitude piece, I believe that you are generalizing a massive group of players into the more partisan players that the Feds have. To call us nation first is being arrogant in yourselves. I mean, while the Feds have not been perfect, I would not say that we are putting ourselves before the nation. Putting ourselves before the nation would have been running our candidate, which we did not do.
Also, thanks for the mention.
You're right, the rise from #5 to #1 is impressive. But being number one is supposed to translate into a lot more than just a ranking.
Buying the media only half counts.
How many Feds were in Vanek's Cabinet? How many in Tenshibo's?
Feds only get into Cabinets when they aren't running their own candidate and someone else needs their support.
I agree with that statement, that the Feds only get picked by CP candidates that need our vote, and we get disregarded when they can't get it. That did happen in Ten's and Vanek's cabinet, so nice bringing those up to prove that. That being said, what you admit in the article above is that, and I quote, "the Feds- have the most people ready to be President"
So, the Feds have quite a few talented players, quite a few potential CPs, yet get disregarded because of Unity. We get disregarded because candidates would rather target parties they can win, not the ones they can't. Not the larger ones that are harder to use, though may have been in a non-Unity election.
Now, when we finally try to just run our candidate, we lose, despite have quite a few players in our party that deserve the position. We also lose because Paul Proteus decided to value the Feds in his cabinet.
Is all that really just attitude? Or perhaps the attitude of those who are not Feds?
Holy shit, IS says something that makes sense. Though I would say it is a couple of Feds at most that make them all look that way.
Agree wholeheartedly. But unfortunately a lot of that stuff gets regurgitated by younger players.
There is a reason I'm no longer a Fed. :/
Agreed, I respect alot of Feds and love several, but a couple of bad apples and all....
That's exactly it! Most Feds I know are great, but there are a few bad apples that taint the name.
Good good I'm actually agreeing with you on something.
*goes and hides under a table and waits for the world to end*
I'm with you too bia, can't really say I'd ever agree with IS seems 'never say never' rings true.
votado!!
"And after reading Jude Conner’s article, I’ve discovered that he’s said everything I want to say about the subject."
Thanks, man.
I think the only thing I feel like supporting in this article is: "I love Paul Proteus"
Mostly because I don't feel like getting into the Feds vs USWP vs AMP debate.
Inaccuracies fail.
NCP? You mean RLC. NCP was our party like in 2011-early 2012. RLC was a merger of the potheads/libs and the Republican Party.
Also, a plurality is just the largest share. You mean a MAJORITY. Someone wins a plurality every month, durrrrrr
I thought you were swimmin' across the Atlantic by now to get to Tessaloniki in time! Go Ajay go, the sharks are with you!
I agree. I liked the party more when Jefferson Locke was still active.
It's sad thought that feds weren't like that. Maybe power really got up to their heads in a very very short time.
I hate to see you generalizing the entire Fed party in the same way they generalized us in their "How stupid is AMP?" thread, but you are mostly right. Not all of the Feds have that attitude you are speaking of, but the ones who do have waaay too much of it.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much
We took a majority during my fourth PP term, get your facts straight.
😛
Yeah, I knew that. Fixed.
Good man. Probably the best day in my eRep political career.
It is people like Paul Proteus, Cromstar, Malarkey83 and Bigcdizzle that make me still respect the feds because this 4 individuals I just mentioned are in this moment the voice of reason within that party. As for the rest of the party, I'm sad to say but I do agree with IS.
me too...
Voted
attitude and arrogance...
i felt really sorry for Paul Proteus, I have big respect for Cromstar and Bigcdizzle, the rest of the FED's may be proud and horny, but even a PTO'ed AMP is still an american Party with eAmerican people, that maybe made a mistake to trust someone who was playing a false game over a whole year and this party didn't deserve to be blamed this way in the forums...
"Not because of him (he’s awesome by the way), but because of the people (and the party) that were pushing him."
This is sooo true and happened in every bigger country, I am sure. Many good guys lost only because their fanboys/fangirls/feiffers tried way too hard.
"Since gaining the top spot, the Federalists have been rather insufferable. Cocky, obnoxious and a lot of the time, just plain mean." - forgot about it, another point well made.
I agree with you.

I would like to apoligize for any harm my party has caused to you if their is anyway I could help please tell me.
By the way don't forget how we have saved USWP from pto the past few months with our sheer voting power and usd donations by max.
