Odinburgh, I have decided to withdraw from the "Last Warrior Standing".

Alrighty. I am not sure about the event itself to be honest if it will work out well or not.

Well, let's see if the great defenders of the world will come and save the day or will they sit idle and watch this disappear hidden by a password.

It is impossible to block good ideas by talking if there are no good ideas.

I think the real problem is that we have gotten a politician class of people that basically work the same way as the old nobility. In a way worse since they don't actually go to war like the old nobility did.
They are born privileged or they know the right people and get "adopted" by the party. These people's main priority is to get re-elected and stay in power, nothing else.

The thing though is that they have forgotten that unlike nobility politicians work for the voters, with the job to improve the country. But with the 2 parties in control it means that if you vote out one corrupt moron you just get another from the other party instead. And of course both parties are bribed by rich companies that doesn't exactly help either.

George Washington saw this coming which is why he was against political parties and lobbyists. Personally I rather get rid of the parties all together and force all politicians to run on their own merit, I have a feeling that about 2/3 of them would be unemployed if that happened but since they know that it can't happen without a revolution.

That doesn't mean we are totally screwed, both parties used to work far better and at least plan forward for the future past 4 years. But we really should force them to work for the voters again.

Just like capitalism have the drawback that if unregulated it eventually turns into a few companies more or less doing whatever they want, democracy eventually turns into a few parties controlling everything and forgetting why they actually exist. Just keeping up the status quo just isn't good enough anymore.

A new party just taking the usual politicians, lawyers and rich CEOs wont really change anything, we also need a new breed of politicians with a bit more understanding of the world. People who maybe done a bit of honest work before they became politicians.

I mean, it's easy to say "let's create a new party that advances only good policies and is never corrupt." But that's easier said than done.

How do you reconcile the fact that no one can really agree what "good policies" are? What about the fact that the good policy is not always the politically popular policy? What's to stop this new party from just developing the same problems the two main parties have?

Right now the American political landscape is designed for gridlock. Nothing can get done because you pretty much need 60 votes in the Senate for most votes, and it's virtually impossible for any party to get 60 Senate seats, and even if you can, it's not like Democrats and Republicans always vote the same way.

The fendas cant take back the embassy, its gone, as is all the false rhetoric when we did it first. They are friends with the raiders that took it, so gone it shall remain.

As for the commons, its a bit to common for us, we tend to avoid as a general rule embassy collector regions since no gain is made.

I don't think you could create a party with only "good policies", no.

But you can create one with a good vision for the future and I think there is where the 2 old parties fail today. They don't really seem to know exactly what they want and both parties have changed from actually being pretty clear what they wanted to more of a machine that keeps running without much of a purpose besides staying in power.

And sure, a new party would likely eventually go stale but the 2 old parties have been around for 170 years so their actual purpose was done a long time ago. Amusingly enough were the Republicans the liberal party and the democrats the conservative one in the beginning.

Well, I think the problem here is that the main American parties are big tents, so it's hard to have one coherent and unified vision for the future when each faction of the two main parties all have different visions for what the future should be. Someone like AOC and Joe Manchin may both be Democrats, but they have quite different politics. Republicans have different factions as well, but nowadays they're pretty much all Trump sellouts, though nevertheless, they're not entirely unified either. Some would like to focus on populism and social conservatism, others on fiscal conservativism and libertarianism.

Any new party, I can guarantee you, is going to be massively populist, and I'm not convinced populism is what's best for America. Long term or short term.

XKI has pushed a Liberation through the SC for a vote. So far, it's succeeding.

Say what you will about TiTO but they do not join the populist foolishness currently plaguing r/d right now, thats for sure. All they do is defend. Of course there will likely be quorum raiding occurring to throw votes against, as that is how both lily and tbh manage to get commends and condemns.

Either way, embassy collector regions are generally not my thing since there is no cohesive culture present, aside from collecting embassies. My thoughts on the subject page=rmb/postid=42794708

Guess telling the truth still gets you banned! Regardless their idle misconduct is irrelevant.

This is the real reason I fear that America will fall to fascism eventually and any sort of Republic Democracy will be gone whether Trump or someone else from the GOP. I don't see it from the left or so called socialism to false narratives what they think it is by their own fears. By now of course you know I am no fan of the GOP and never will be. January 6th only evolved my hatred further of them. To be honest I think America as we know is it on its last legs. I feel bad for Biden but to be honest in the end I doubt he'd be strong enough to keep this nation from falling into full hands of the ultra right and the Trumpism block is pretty strong. It's just prolonging the inevitable that will occur. Enjoying my freedoms while they last nonetheless. I have awaken to the fact the US constitution is totally meaningless.

It still seems like a good idea to throw our support behind the liberation, if only just to spit in the face of Lily, TBH, and all those other swamp monsters

Whoever that got a gun?

The problem with populism is that it generally doesn't care about any kind of principles, they would say or do anything to get you to vote for them. And they will change their mind 180 degrees whenever it is convenient.

Lobbyists do care.. about money. They do tend to be pretty consequent though.

Both sucks pretty much so what does it matter who would win mortal combat between them?

The US has a lot of problems undoubtedly, but think you're being a little melodramatic. America survived a civil war, slavery, two world wars, they will survive Trump

In my experience, populists are far from the only people who lack principles.

For me it's got to be the Last of us part 2, but I've heard Tenet has a pretty good one .

My favorite video game is Brawl Stars , the Brawl stars video game universe is so colourful and its gameplay is nice. For sound effects i think Among us is my choice , due to its thrilling sound effects whenever i play Among Us.
