Why America can't take the AFA seriously

Day 1,859, 00:53 • Published in USA USA • by ligtreb

I just received the following message in a PM:

ligtreb!
Please move to the Euro American Union party with in the next 24 hours in preparation for Congressional elections. We are trying to deny America's self-proclaimed Tyrant-in-Chief Henry Pfeiffer Arundel from getting his puppets in to Congress. It is time that all Americans stand united against bullying in our country. You don't have to stay in the party permanently, we only ask that you move there for the next couple of days. In addition to serving your country, we are offering a reward of 20 q5 food and 5 q5 tanks upon competion of this mission. We will keep track of this to make sure everyone who participates received their compensation.

Sincerely,

I've been in party politics a long time.

No legitimate party has to send messages to people to join a different party for its own self-interest.

No legitimate party has to bribe people with that much food and tanks to get someone to join.

This is unacceptable.

EDIT at 1:05: I should've elaborated further: The problem here is using a PTOed 6th party to get into the Top 5, which would eliminate one of America's main parties from Congressional elections and give the AFA an inordinate number of seats. This isn't the type of politics that should be played in this country. Make it a legitimate race.
