I Have A Dream
•
by Joe Newton
The night of elections, I was feeling pretty underappreciated.
It had become clear that I was not going to win in the Alabama elections. And by a terrible margin. I had begun feeling useless, and without purpose.
Then some of the awesome people on eRepublik (on the eUSA forums) helped me up.
These awesome people started giving me ideas of what I could do. Their was so many good ideas, but this idea made me feel as good as the girl in that picture.
The Democrats
Started by HR, one of it's primary purposes is to teach players game mechanics*. This game is not like RL, and it takes everyone awhile to get it. For me, I had that revelation about 2 months into the game.
The one that really got to me was it's dedication to ending partisan politics.
I've seen Partisan Politics infest our eNation. It's not healthy.
We need to focus on being a good United eNation. When we focus on anything else, it hurts us, and gives our enemies the ability to hurt us. Anyone displaying Partisan Politics in a position of power, should be removed immediately because they will do us more harm than good.
Using these 2 principals, our party is dedicated to electing experienced and intelligent leaders, from across the board not just from our party. We may run candidates from the USWP, the CVP, the Feds, anyone who is good for the nation.

My dream folks, my dream is to end partisan politics once and for all, to make our Country better.
I believe the Democrats are the best way to do this.

I have a dream 🙂
Best of luck Newton, I stand behind you 🙂
Hey, your loss wasn't my fault 😛 I still love you Joe.
First of all, Jackson was a douchebag.
Second of all, th ethings I have heard about HR make me want NOTHING to do with him.
Third, you sound all angry because you lost, so one would expect you to be all whiny about it - Thanks for not letting us down.
JUDE
well if you have one bucket that holds 3 gallons and another bucket that hold 6 gallons, how many buckets do you have?
Sorry you're bitter Jude.
Lots of people are on board with this movement, but you can continue to play partisan politics on the playground. The big boys will run the country.
Anything that reduces eUS divisive partisan politics and unites us as one e-country is a good thing. We don't all got to be in the same party, but we got to learn how to party together.
DP are p cool
Jude: Wow dude, the engagement is off.
Vekta: how many gallons do the other buckets old?
Dear Joe,
Hello
From,
Joshua
Hold 3 gallons and 6 gallons of what?
We're pleased to have you, Joe. Also, Jude, you may be too young to even understand what our stances are, but if you're fine with making the eUS back into a weak shell of what our potential truly could be and hearken back into the days of political infighting, parties constantly sniping at each other with partisan rhetorics that have no sound basic on mechanics, along with more self-serving ideas and propaganda that have no place in eRep, then that's also fine with us. You're entitled to your opinion and we're entitled to ours.

There is such a thing as negative leadership. This party seems to embody it, and be led by it.
congratulations jude for demonstrating the very politics that we are trying to avoid.
Oh, and next time you plagiarise an idea (job-corps), at least have the decency to admit that it is already a government program, and give credit to it's original owner instead of copying it and giving it a new name to call your own.
