The Horns of a Dilemma
wingfield
We are beset by twin evils. One the one hand, Ajay and his AFA people want to take us over and have done plenty of recent electoral damage. On the other hand, Unity refuses to let us exercise any democratic rights at all. BOTH are unacceptable!
The latest Unity debacle has seen one candidate obtain the endorsement with a miniscule fraction of the popular vote, against another candidate with a slightly higher, but still tiny, fraction of the same vote.
There is a litany of directives to the people. “Wear the Unity candidate, or otherwise, RGR wins.”
Well, I don’t want RGR to win. I also don’t want ANY Unity candidate to win. I want someone with popular loyalist support to win, no matter which true party picks them.
I don’t want Tenshibo to win. We have history. However, it is not my role to dump garbage on his candidacy. Anyone is entitled to run and have a fair chance.
What I am saying is what I said in a shout last night. “Unity is evil. Unity has failed. Saying that we have to keep Unity until Ajay is defeated is like propping up a corpse until it smells. Oppose Unity AND AFA!”
There it is in a nutshell. Unity should not be tolerated for another MINUTE. If what you get on the one hand or the other is unacceptable, switch to the Gripping Hand!
The gripping hand does this:
1. It ensures that a popular candidate gets on to the ballot and stays there as a gesture of the opinion of the people. If that candidate should win, so much the better.
2. It rejects any more propaganda about accepting the Unity candidate for now and letting proposals be considered next week. Forget next week! Fix it now!
3. It stops being cowed by the threat of an AFA takeover. What more damage can the AFA do than has already been done by Unity? Precious little, I say.
4. If the worst happens and the AFA has a temporary victory, people will move of their own accord. We will work in other countries to avoid paying tax to Ajay and his Serbian allies. Those of us who can trade will sell on other markets or trade directly with other players. We can fight battles for the eUS where and when we choose and our military unit commanders can guide us.
5. It keeps on fighting, as described in the last point but THEN exercises democratic power in the next PP elections, doing whatever it takes to retake our parties and our political integrity. That is non-existent for now and no other solution will work other than resistance and retribution.
Never again trust anyone who promotes Unity. Never trust the AFA. BE an American loyalist and stand up now!

NOW is the time for action! Not next week.
- LET AJAY BE CP FOR A MONTH AND END UNITY!
They are as bad as each other.

Since my previous comment was apparently 'vulgar' I guess I have to edit it....
Yeah, who cares about the fact that the party presidents specifically agreed to back the Unity candidate. Let's throw a giant fit right after the primaries so we can mess up the election instead of waiting till after the election so we can solve this civilly. Who needs to coordinate anyway, we're only in the middle of a war with a huge pto threat.
I think this cycle needs to proceed as unity, then it needs to stop. Why not now? Because no one said a damn thing while other people got raped by "unity" all these past months until it's the Feds that get burned. Feds have ridden this unity boat and gotten fat on it.
I feel bad for Paul. But I also feel bad for John Jay, who got bent over the unity couch TWICE and had way more of the popular vote than anyone to this day. We can't go back and give all of the people screwed a chance, so sadly Paul shouldn't get one either.
There is always next month for EVERYONE to do the right thing, no matter what party they come from or who is running.
Not trying to be a bitch, just trying to be fair and honest. It is what it is.
Some people will wait, others refuse to do so. Everyone has or should have the choice.
I agree with Bia. Unity sucks, and it needs to be fixed to match popular demand. But this month is absolutely the worst time to throw a fit and help AFA win. Don't cha know there's a war going on?
The war is against Unity as well. Stop trying to tell people to shut up and wait. We've done that for way too long and only been screwed over every time.
Well, here's your options:
A) Wait a month and win both wars.
😎 Start now and lose both.
We wait a month and do what is FAIR or we perpetuate this petulant child syndrome where a certain party does whatever they goddammed want despite what is right and fair to all. I'm tired of that crap. Almost as tired as I am of unity. But we should be thinking fairly right now.
Basically, Feds are fine with unity when they win, they should accept it when they lose.
And for the record, I would have voted for Paul. But bullshit is bullshit and right is right.
I don't remember the vote totals from John Jay's elections. I know he didn't win the popular vote against me, though.
Not that it really matters, I'll say that right now. Looking backwards hasn't really helped anyone move forward.
He absolutely had more public popularity than you did. You road the unity flaws, first with pfeiffer then with your reward month. Sorry but let's be honest.
*rode. My fingers type faster than my brain before my coffee.
Eh, I offered to drop out when he refused (but iirc I had more actual votes than he did, not just more party endos. It was close though). Again, it doesn't REALLY matter anymore. I know I've been consistent in my beliefs and opinions, but the 'public' part of being a public figure has been inconsistent. Being Pfeiffer's VP while also pushing for tamper-free elections is just one example.
I have no idea if I would've been elected without Unity, though, so I get you there. Hard to say. I regret ever being CP fwiw. Worst job in the game.
Bia Just rekt all of you.
Forget next week! Fix it now!
if Paul would stay on the ballot that's one thing. but in two days we'll have the usual choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich... figuratively speaking, of course.
the fix will take time, and organized procedure.
"fix it now," just days before the CP election, is a non-productive rant.
I'm going to disagree with you, Custer (I'll still call you that). Paul and Tenshibo are honestly both great candidates. The process is shit, and some people didn't get what they wanted, but both are deserving of the job.
I agree; it's a mute point. Paul P. is out. It may take a while before Paul can gain my support, again.
Why's that, if you don't mind me asking?
The forum, unity, is not a legit election. Paul doesn't agree.
I would rather promote a candidate with a similar view.
Oh, I have a feeling Paul has some doubts...
That's true. It's why I could still support him. It will be a while.
I'd point point out the incorrect usage of the word "mute", but its a moot point.
That's cool.
Fix it now, dammit. It doesn't matter when it is right now. Waiting is non-productive. Being told that it is a rant is like being told that we don't know what we are talking about.
you don't know what you are talking about in this rant. 🙂
Unity elections have produced reasonably good Presidents. Watching the sausage being made and all that jazz....
Pfeiffer, Inwegen, FG, Artela, Vanek???? Pull the other one.
Ajay Bruno. That is the other one. Luckily he isn't on the list. That has been the point, as you know.
As stated in the article, Ajay Bruno is the enemy. So is Unity.

TRUTH
Ajay thrives off you people jumping through hoops.
Unity makes people jump through hoops, Larni
Yep and Unity are making you do what Ajay wants you too... Seems to me like someone is using fear to basically keep USA pto'd internally.
Exactly. And other are just subservient to it out of fear.
Exactly
Wingfield, I don't think anyone with any sense would argue with you that Unity must end.
But in your shouts you are saying that waiting another month will "only make things worse".
I wonder if you might elaborate on how it makes it worse?
Quite simple. Another month of no democracy. Another handpicked puppet in the CP position. Another set of new citizens switched off. Another victory for the overlords.
This is exactly what AFA wants. They want us to start disliking unity. Its a war of attrition.
I hate unity elections. I want them gone, as soon as possible. But if we have to have someone hand pick the next POTUS every month to keep RGR out, its worth it. Don't let AFA win, this article is helping them win, its what they want.
Start?
The standard party line of the overlords, sorry. "Not now, later". We are not swallowing that nonsence any more.
Unfortunately what's done is done for this month. We've been complaining and complaining and complaining and proposing different options...everything from going to a popular vote to just ignoring the primary process entirely.
The problem now is as it has been since the start- it's difficult to get people to rally behind any kind of system. Being 'anti-Unity' isn't good enough. You need to be pro-some other system that won't jeopardize our security. Proposals are coming forward and I hope enough people can find them agreeable that we can actually make real strides to ending Unity entirely.
What is done is unacceptable and CAN be overturned - by the simple expedient of having a free election.
Voted for the 'Gripping hand'
With a unity primary having roughly 150 votes in totality when PotUS election regularly garner 2200 votes per month Unity's represents apparently less than 10% of the eAmerican Voter base....
AFA and Unity seem to be opposite sides of the same coin; the only question left is whether the coin is issued by 'Lulz' or by 'epic fail'
