Garfield is Love, Garfield is Life, Garfield tells you to vote for Dekks!

The Secretary-General election has historically been a great oppurtunity for the NationStates community to show what we are all about, what kind of people we are, and I feel that Dekks is the best candidate to capture the zeitgeist of NationStates today, and that is a bunch of online weirdos who think they're either great heroes or villains, or political masterminds, all while munching doritos, the other half being a bunch of online weirdos, but those who take one joke that was funny once and run it into the ground. Dekks is both kinds of person.

As Secretary-General, I will give you this, no less, no more, very clear you see:

- Garfield worship will become mandatory, any anti-garfield statements juch as being named Jon or enjoying Mondays will be purged from NationStates.

- Garfield says Trans Rights

- Jacksfilms is our great prophet and Garfield's voice on this wretched planet.

- Posadism is compatible with Garfield, Aliens are canon in the Garfield universe and so are talkin animals, dolphins must be too. If we Destroy capitalism we can destroy Mondays too.

- You will get more lasagna than you can dream of.

- Anti-Centrism because why not.

- The Netherlands must go.

My genius strikes again:

Garfieldism is not simply an ideology, Garfielidism is beyond ideology in an anti-centrist manner. Garfield is a metaphor for the working class, mondays are a methaphor for fascists, since garfield hates mondays, Jon is the neo-liberal capitalist class, and Odie is the petite bourgeoisie who is being manipulated and opressed by the owner class but still takes their side over that of the workers, which is why garfield kicks odie. Just like neo-liberalism jon arbuckle is nothing but a pathetic incompetent, yet dangerous and harmful entity, just like neo-liberalism jon grows weaker by the day, to be ultimately replaced by either garfield or the much more competent owner class in the form of neo-feudalism, it's human form being Liz, the vetenarian, that's why it's important that we support the working class to end neo-liberalism lest it be replacted by neo-feudalism first. A vote for Garfield is a vote for the working class, a vote for Garfield is a vote for no more mondays, odies and jons, a vote for garfield is a vote for endless lasagna, which obviously means utopian communism.

Garfieldism strengthens the leftist voting bloc:

I believe that I have already shown myself to be a viable candidate to consitenly remain in the top 25 of votes, which is required to remain relevant in the minor rounds of voting. While other big left-wing candidates mainly get their support from leftist voters my campaign has a more diverse coalition, being attractive to Leftists, memers, casual voters and cat lovers. I hope that with the strengthened support of leftist vote my campaign will attract more attention and will thus be able to create a positive feedback loop to convince memers and casual voters of Garfieldism as the campaign drags on. If I do not get in the top 5 I will endorse the leading leftist candidate, and if I do get in the top 5 but the leftist coalition needs to be united to win then I believe that the leftist candidate with the least amount of votes should either drop out and support the leading leftist candidate or technically not drop out but end their campaign and endorse the leading leftist candidate to make sure that the left keeps the sec-gen position for another 4 years, it is what I will do. I hope that through attracting meme and casual votes we will have a larger coalition then without the support of our lord Garfield. Up until further notice I'm still in it to win it though.
