A request for the parties
ligtreb
Party President elections are coming up (May 15). Of the three elections every month, these are the ones that usually get the least attention. But as we saw with the PTO of the Democratic Republicans last month, they can have huge implications on this country getting PTOed (Politically Taken Over).
I urge all the major parties to hold primaries to determine who should be their Party President. After the primaries are finished, I encourage the losing candidates to drop out of the in-game Party Presidential race so that only the endorsed candidates are on the ballot.
Why?
1) This makes your party less vulnerable to a PTO -- with the votes not being split, it takes more votes to unseat your endorsed candidate.
2) It frees up your voters to help if another party is being PTOed like the Democratic Republicans were in April.
3) It gives the party's active members more of a say in who should be the next Party President.
This is not a new idea, some parties have been doing this, but most have not. This might seem undemocratic, but it's quite the opposite, giving those who are interested a bigger say and protecting this country from an Anti-American political take over.
For the majority of citizens who are not running for Party President, I encourage you hold your vote until your last log-in in case we learn of any PTO threats. And if we do learn of a threat, don't hesitate to leave your party for a few seconds, join the party being PTOed, and vote for the correct candidate (after you vote, you can move back to your old party).
While I don't see any potential PTO candidates yet on any major party's ballot, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you for reading.

In before Zoli spam -- too late.

Yep. Except I wasn't able to change parties last month on the 15th.
@ Rheinlander -- I was after a while. I had the same bug for about an hour, then I was able to.
Word.

Good advice, ligtreb
Sounds like what the Feds have been doing for months and months and months and months
@Kyle321n -- Feds have had primaries forever (and I love you for that) but sometimes have two endorsed candidates on final ballot. I only want one on the ballot.
Each party should be free to organize their primaries as they see fit, but it is good to see other parties recognize the core motivation for holding primaries in the first place. The community is more important than the party. The institutions are more important than the people.

And maybe mass-mailing the party might help. Just saying.
This is good advice. 🙂
Great article. Voted 🙂
I hope the party leaders can find a solution to the rising prices of food, guns and especially gifts...
Agreed.
Great advice from a great eMerican!
SEES doesn't need primaries because we do not care what our members think. We're just that advanced
feds will always have two final candidates on the ballot, and message our full party about the two qualified candidates and warn of PTO threats internally. We've done this for months and months and months and months and months and months....
"SEES doesn't need primaries because we do not care what our members think. We're just that advanced"
Dio Emerick you are so right! It is so nice to be free to vote in everyone elses elections instead of worrying about our own! S.E.E.S. Rocks!
I agree.
Listen to Ligtreb the Wise!
