Who remembers my epic regional polls... what did you guys think of them?

Dude, he's gonna die from old age during the presidency if he gets in
New Waldensia, Viridus, Gagium, The Legion Of Mankind, Holy Rhinish Islands, The Sladerstan, Hindiabelanda, Noeah
He's been around longer than the statehood of Hawaii and Alaska
New Waldensia, Viridus, Gagium, West Phoenicia, The Legion Of Mankind, Holy Rhinish Islands, The Sladerstan, Hindiabelanda, Noeah
So... was Trump?
The only President younger than those two states was Obama.

Bernie is gay
Viridus, Gagium, The Sladerstan, Hindiabelanda
If he wins, this country will take the first irrevocable steps towards long-overdue progress. And besides, he's only a year older than Biden. Five years, in the case of the President.
This election isn't about age, and it's not just about beating Trump. It's about finally giving the working class a voice; it's about bringing attention to class interests and ensuring that regular people claim victory over the powers that have dominated Washington for decades.

I could see Tulsi becoming a strong UN Ambassador or Secretary of State. By far, she's the best Democratic candidate when it comes to foreign policy. Unfortunately for her, this election cycle isn't being driven by international affairs. And I'm not exactly all that convinced by her domestic plans--if she's even fully detailed them.
As for Yang, I think he has some good ideas. But he also comes off as a soulless neoliberal. Take his iconic proposal for UBI. Under Yang's plan, the government will offer you one thousand dollars only if you choose not to receive government benefits. Medicare, social security, and welfare? That's all gone if you take the UBI. This is a horrible choice to make if you're poor and not a difficult decision. If you were poor, you'd obviously stay on government assistance. Ultimately, the whole point of Yang's UBI is defeated.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Hindiabelanda
Obama is also the only president younger than the youngest state at the time they took office, and the average difference is 44.4 between the youngest state and the president's age; Sanders would be 18 years from Hawaii to him, theoretically putting him at 5th on the list of the gap, alone bringing the average down .6 years. One could argue that this is only because of the fact that he is getting the tail end of Hawaii, but for the Presidents after Hawaii's statehood, the average is 29.8 with him included, 30.9 without him.
So, in conclusion, comparing Bernie's age to Alaska's and Hawaii's is moot.

I mean, there's also sales tax, and property tax, and luxury tax, and electricity tax, and water tax, and tax tax.

You can be conservative and still support left-leaning economic policies.

Oh, I doubt there's any political issue that I'd agree with either of them on, especially Yang's Orwellian-named "Freedom Dividend." They just come across as good people to me.

Now that I have some more time to respond, the short answer is that Yang won't remove any of your existing taxes. In fact, he'll levy new taxes on businesses. For example, he wants to tax automation; he wants to make businesses pay a fee to the government should they opt to replace workers with machines. (I should say that I actually agree with the proposal to tax automated technology.)
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, The Sladerstan, Hindiabelanda
Let's agree to disagree and call it a day. In fact, let's just admire how God Emperor Andrew Yang will give all the homeless and unemployed people PlayStation 5s to cope with their struggles. Truly a kind soul!

Those of us here who support Bernie are still conservatives. It's just that we're not libertarians--fusionists.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, The Sladerstan, Hindiabelanda
First of all, shut the frick up. I'm arguing about the downfalls of free speech, you're arguing about the CP. I want a response, not a "Oh deary, your arguments don't work!" Show me how they don't work.
Second, have you ever heard of a coup? Have you ever heard of a raid? You know, those things when people attack a region? Do you realise, by any chance, that these attacks cause what is often referred to as property damage? I'm not saying you want to cause a raid, but instead I'm saying how easy it would be to cause a raid, at least in this free speech world of yours.
I believe that ties in to something Ibenta mentioned earlier. "I know that even if you give people all the rational conditions to be perfect--to create some paradise--people will still spite reason out of desire." What he says is true. But often, they don't just spite out of desire. Sometimes, in fact most times, people do it with regard to another's ideologies - just take a look at the real world for example. That is, if you can see past your Vail of utopianism.

Viridus, Gagium, Mietkael, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11, Hindiabelanda
Why? That wasn't what I was talking about. You have your own reasons to want to curtail free speech. Hey, that's all you. Leading with telling someone to shut up definitely keeps you consistent. I do find it amusing you think any of this has to do with "paradise" or "utopianism" at all.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11, Hindiabelanda
Whatever I start my arguments with is up to me - you love free speech, after all. Now, please tell me how you are correct?
Otira, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11, Hindiabelanda
Antifa-type rhetoric right here
Otira, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11, Hindiabelanda
Correct is subjective and based solely off of ones personal values and morals when it comes to things like this...Unless you expect to change his, you arent getting anywhere with your argument

RIP. I'd exchange not getting Social Security in exchange for getting to keep that withholding money, LOL.
Ehhhhhhhhh.......... Bernie only stands against a tremendous amount of what conservatism stands for.

So the president kicked me for disagreeing with him he wasnt elected he acts like hes a king and we are his fiefdom. I need youre help to get the kick reverse so please telegram the president asking him to overturn this sentence, thank you.
Ulrech, Viridus, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11
True true, correction is in they eye of the beholder. But I'm trying to make him convince me he is correct, rather than just telling me he is.

Yes!

I agree, the last President who became president by being a VP was a traitor who banned FCNers and then fled to a foreign region anyways

No, he kicked you for using Puppets to boost your party.
Viridus, Gagium, New Inglaterra, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11
Bastion disagreed with him on whether he should use puppets to boost his party, clearly!!
Viridus, New Inglaterra, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11, The Cot Corporation
There is no law against that.
There should be.
Viridus, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Mtf Epsilon 11, The Cot Corporation
Bud he was elected. He was elected VP, meaning we elected him to take over if the previous president couldnt do his job.
Dont be salty because you got kicked for using shady methods to boost party membership.

We didn't vote for VP

Nations of the FCN,
Hello, it is I - COT. I know I am not exactly welcome here anymore, but my first ever puppet still remains. I believe many of you will have heard of the scandal involving myself and the LCN by now. In case you haven't, here it is in short:
Yesterday, I created a second puppet known as "New Anovia", whose purpose was to join in on Space-themed RPs in my place. It was quite late, and I didn't plan on joining any straight away. Instead, I went against the law of the FCN and sent my puppet to the LCN. Of course, I hadn't told anyone about this at the time. I briefly introduced myself, and proclaimed to the LCN that I was new to the game.
Today, I decided to take things a step further. I decided to take a recommendation from a disgraceful LCN pig, and joined the discord. Once I had done this, one of their officers (Who I believe are called consuls) contacted me in their arrivals hall. As soon as he asked, someone called "Jokerbshire" (who I believe is Gaybec) pointed out that I was from the FCN. How he knows this, I don't know. He then asked me to state my nation and purpose. Jokingly, but secretly unironically, I said "New Anovia, Spying." He responded sarcastically, saying something along the lines of "Hahah, funny. Now do it properly." To this, I responded: "New Anovia, *I've forgotten*" He accepted, but followed up. He realised at this point that I was the Secretary of War, and said he found it suspicious, to which his colleagues agreed. After a series of comments deflecting his claim, I caved in. This was when my plan was going to go into action. I decided, before I told them any more, to give Greater Bastion notice of this. I told him, and he asked for my departure of the LCN. I agreed, planning to leave. However, I needed to cause a stir in the LCN first. I told Gaybec that I was in fact the secretary of war, and that I was planning a coup. The "evidence" I gave him was the public overhaul of the previous FCN government, which was probably the biggest commotion until now. I told him that I didn't like where things were going, which is obviously false - given that I was in the party who led the overhaul, and in the current government. In his stupidity, he believed me, although he rejected the offer. He then decided he would send this to the FCN government, so I would be punished. I didn't believe I would, given that Bastion was in on this. However, I stand corrected.
At this point, I made fun of his canadian theme and left the discord. When I logged on to NS, a nasty surprise hit me. The government had been deceived, and I had been banned. I hope that this may been resolved.
Long live the Federation, Long live the Government.

Even if this wasn't you trying to save face...
You admitted to telling the LCN that you would give us up to them after I told you to pull out.
So you still would have been lying about this all. I don't trust you.

For the second time today...
The nation of The Cot Corporation has been banjected on the grounds of treason and conspiracy against the FCN.
Viridus, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
I'll check the screenshots I took of it and the our DMs for the times, in case I mis-ordered.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
It turns put, I didn't mis-order. I finished the ordeal with Gaybec roughly 10 minutes later. At that point, I pulled out and insulted him.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
I'll pull out 😉

I am a clown. I am the biggest clown to live in the Federation. I fear, sadly, that I might not live here for much longer. I'll try to hold myself in court, but if that doesn't work, then... I may as well declare my clownery now.
In my defence, Greater Bastion, why would I help the LCN. The LCN that destroyed our discord. The LCN that ranted on and on about how stupid we are. I had joined the RP, and was active. I started a war, gained monopoly over industries, and developed my nation. In terms of OOC stuff, I had done more. I joined the senate, I joined the government. I passed a bill. I even wrote a star wars opening crawl about the fall of New Inglaterra. Why would I destroy what I held so dear? The Role play, the senate, the government? I would have no reason.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Humour
Viridus, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Furthermore, wouldn't it be a lot wiser of me to have destroyed the region without leaking that I was to do so? If I wanted to, which I didn't, I would have kept it to myself.
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
I have no sympathy or respect for you COT. Thats it thats all I had to say.
Viridus, Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Meirshir
I don't seek for either of those, Emerisis. All I seek is the being brought back into the FCN, not as a traitor, but as a member.
Gagium, Greater Bastion, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Yes, but the matter isn't as black-and-white as you might think. From a social conservative standpoint, yes. I agree. Bernie represents a danger. But in terms of economic issues, unless you're a libertarian or a fusionist, then you should actually support Bernie's fiscal policies as a conservative.
I'm not a libertarian, and I'm not a fusionist.
Gagium, Dragons Of Power, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Whether I'm accepted back or not is a question of later. Now, I'd like to apologise to a few people.
Firstly, Greater Bastion. A good president, who tended the region well. I'm sorry for going against your orders, and causing this commotion you see today. I'm sorry for causing what may look like a security breach, but is in reality a spying mission.
Secondly, I'd like to apologise to the Conservative Party. They welcomed me with open arms, and showed nothing but kindness during my time in the region. I'm sorry, once again, for causing this commotion. Doubtless, I won't be shown that sort of welcoming again, whether by them or the region.
And third, I'd like to apologise to the region. Like the CP, I was welcomed with warmth. As much of a clown I had shown myself to be, I was still accepted. I'm eternally grateful for that. Today, however, much of that warmth turned to coldness as I did what looked like putting the region at risk.
I hope that we can eventually come to some sort of understanding, and may the Federation prosper.
Viridus, Gagium, West Phoenicia, Greater Bastion, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis

This whole no talking about cot thing is bs
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Ah yes, so the first thing you do here is..try to insult the LCN out of this? Very funny..
And "in my stupidity", so did I and I banjected you for your stunt, albeit illegally. Yes, please continue calling those who took action against you stupid, that helps your case a lot.
Damn right you "stand corrected", you literally went on the discord of a foreign region as SecWar and offered to "give the FCN to the LCN" and basically partake in an admin attack. Quebecshire being decent enough to send this to me (I definitely thank him and the LCN for the assistance here) isn't responsible for your banjection, your INCREDIBLY STUPID behavior and your actions are. Let's actually talk about this for a second..You wanted to spy on the LCN with your MAIN ACCOUNT using your main nation's countryball as your profile picture, and you thought that they'd believe you when you said you were someone else? Do you really think ANYONE is that stupid? Actually?
No government was deceived by anything. I was sent the full transcript of EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID, and I banjected you, not anyone in the government with the legal authority to. Was what I did unconstitutional? Sure it definitely was, and I'll accept any action taken against myself for that, but I stand by my actions 100%. And wdym "nasty surprise"? You literally went on the LCN discord and claimed to want to admin attack the FCN and "give the FCN to the LCN"..and you were then SURPRISED that action was taken against you for it? Are you actually that dumb?
New Waldensia, Viridus, The Legion Of Mankind, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis, Logon
The fact that we had a SecWar who wanted to go on a "spying mission" by himself without telling anyone AND WITH HIS MAIN DISCORD ACCOUNT to the LCN is a security breach in itself...
you did

To my knowledge, we still have to go through a trial. While I certainly have my opinions about the matter, I wouldn't pronounce guilt or innocence yet. We're not the LCN in that regard.
Gagium, Fluvannia, Holy Rhinish Islands, Logon
Well PT is a private citizen and free to his (in my opinion) likely correct opinion

The trial is a simple thumbs up from the Justices
New Waldensia, Gagium, Ibenta, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Yes
Gagium, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
Actually no, this is what you said...
Eminople: You do know that the fcn clearly states that it's illegal to be in the lcn while you're in the fcn right?
You: How would you know?
If I'm willing to be here, and break FCN law, surely that is enough proof for You?
That I think negatively of the FCN?
Viridus, The Legion Of Mankind, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
It's treason then . . . ahhhhhhhh
Otira, Viridus, Gagium, Mietkael, Holy Rhinish Islands, Emerisis
You're right, but I'm not saying that he can't state his opinion. I'm just saying that he shouldn't pronounce guilt or innocence for ethical reasons. We ought to maintain the appearance of equity.
(In any case, yeah. I do think he's guilty.)
Well in that case, I guess this is farewell, COT.
