If you don't know how M.A.D. works, I can certainly see how someone could think that.

Her support towards same-sex unions and the equating of their positions to marriages dates back to her days as first lady, not to mention her support for the Matthew Shepard Act, which allowed crimes committed on the basis of the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity to be considered hate crimes.

I thought you national anarchists hated Syrians, Russians and governments? Don't lie, man, it's false advertisement.

So not wanting war with Russia is false advertisement?
To all those who are citizens of the United States!
Democracy as the only main stream form of governing is something brand new for the Human Civilization. A State which is actually since it's dawn of existence, since it's first colony under the rule of a democratic State, is even more exceptional. Ok, by today standards the constitutional Monarchy of England and the Early United States of Amerca is with it's restrictions to vote and participate more of an semi-oligarchy than a true, strong democracy. Still they were foundations for todays Democracys. Something which was for the longest Time hardly fought and never granted.
As everyone can think, we have more powerful Nations and less powerfuls. The USA is probably the most powerful Democracy in Existence and your single Vote, my American, is a.E. in proportion to my 8 Million Strong Country fundamently more powerful. That's also the reason why every outsider is so interested in the presidential Elections. Because who is sitting in the Oval Office, who has to govern this vast country not only can but will change the Life of it's Citizens and also of many Outsiders. And with this very emotional vote, you can probably understand why i'm writing this Letter. This year we have seen that not only every Democracy is far from perfect, but also that it's flawed but still most functional Grids need maintenance. This Vote, The Brexit, the Elections in the Philipens and many other Elections in other Nations have shown that we are in a Time where Elections get very emotional, where the usual Lethargy seems to disappeared. The Reason is because many of us feel betrayed, feel the Need of Change. At least more than usual.
And i guess this Elections will have one of the biggest parcticipations since long Time. And in turn i guess nearly everyone of you will Vote. I hope you have prepared yourself, you are informed about your candidate, you have made debates with your "debatial Sparring Partners" and you know where to vote, you know on not to get rigged. And if you ain't sure yet on how to vote, cause you probably just gained voting Rights, i think there are many of your fellow Americans in this Message Board and in your Area who can inform you about how an Election works in your Country.
I for myself can only wait and hope that the right one wins.

Hi everyone! With our Presidential Election a week away, we are going to have a preliminary poll :D Here's the link: https://goo.gl/forms/DQjT4vMpCTuFVmpI2
I highly recommend everyone votes in it, even if you have just joined our region in the past week! You should base your vote mainly on the candidates' platform statements and their party ideology as well if you wish to look further into it. There will be a Presidential debate and Candidate Interviews published in The Social Reformer within the next week!
Thank you,

And how do you join a regional party?

I voted in the regional election and I am sad about the real one :(
Yodle, Primera Republica De Cantabria, Cascadialands
America made the wrong choice this election.. basically giving the Republicans every facet of the federal gov't
Bernie Nation, Anchasia, Primera Republica De Cantabria, Cascadialands
If you look at the Regional Party Directory and choose a party that you like, all you have to do is send a message to the party leader and tell them that you want to join.
You can run as an Independent or as the nominee of the party you are in, all you'd have to do is write up a Platform Statement and then declare that you're running for office. It's too late to do it for this election, but come around next election anyone can run!

Tough Day for Clinton and the Democrats, I am in a State of Shock How can the best democracy in the world be a place for racism and hatred for women, are the right really that dumb? TRUMP was the model of CHANGE But as a Policy Wonk I think America MADE A MISTAKE Four Years from Now I hope the Democrats rip the electoral map in again. CLINTON WAS THE REAL MODEL OF CHANGE comparing 8 policies for TRUMP To more than 200 pages of policies for CLINTON! Good Thing I am Canadian Just move up here you guys and have progressive model of liberal fundamentalism still for NOW :(

That's the issue with the electoral college. You can still win the popular vote but that doesn't matter if someone hits the 270.
Primera Republica De Cantabria, Wmtz, Cascadialands
I agree with you and its a flaw in presidential political system compared to the parliamentary system that requires the Prime Minister to be Elected into the House of Commons along with your fellow MP that is why policy is so important in an Westminster Parliamentary system like Canada! unlike the Presidential political structure that the President is not accountable for any criticism from his peers in the House of representatives or the Senate.
Bernie Nation, Primera Republica De Cantabria, Wmtz, Cascadialands
Look at Russia. They get sh*t done. Our President is directly elected, has a lot of power (unlike America, where the President is just a joke compared to Russia), and is loved by the people. And we have a half proportional, and half first past the post parliament, which reflects the views of the people and actually reforms the country, instead of debating the same bill for 5 months. In the Russian Federal Assembly, a bill is proposed, which is debated ONCE by the Duma and voted on, debated ONCE in the Federation Council and voted on, and then sent to the President for approval. Simple, efficient and you get sh*t done.

Going Back to the Age of Reagan, Going back to the good old days. I have accepted a trump victory since he has won the election fair and square. Democracy is for the mob and for the people we have to accept this result as a Canadian I did not have a say I am just a observer in this Historical Election and The Sun will rise today and Tom it's not the end of the world. Obama and Clinton Respect the result and will work together with TRUMP with the American People........

I Agree Trump sucks more than Hillary, but honestly any change made by her in office would not be made by her at all... It would be made up by the popular vote. That is what she has showed us since the 90s. That's what Hillary is, a follower. Hilary is a follower not a leader just a Trump is an idiot not a leader.

Conservatism is always on the wrong side of history
Anchasia, Primera Republica De Cantabria
Well, if we try to make a marxist analysis of the situation, it shows that the election of Donald Trump is the result of the slow sliding of american in direction of extrem social contradiction, caused by the capitalist mode of production. The exacerbation of this contradictions will unstabilised the bourgeoisie as a result, meaning that the society will fall into a rampant fight between fascism and proletarian progressism. If it is the case, then I hope that the class consciousness of the american workers is developped. Unless if Trump is finally on the side of the establishment and do not try to «Make america great again» (Which is quite a reactionnary program). I, in fact, personnaly think that he would do that. But it's only my opinion.
But hey, it's only my analysis
Also, sorry for my bad english :(
Yodle, Primera Republica De Cantabria
we lack class consciousness in this the U.S. people identify with their ethnic or racial background first and not as a community of like minded workers. That's why were have had a weak labor movement compared more homogeneous states. Capitalists were able to exploit this situation in various ways in different historical periods to ensure that radical change would not happen.
Yodle, Primera Republica De Cantabria, Sarrepont, Nexumia
Trump is as much as a conservative as Bloomberg. It is why the Conservative elites and Fox News, the fount of Conservatism, attacked him relentlessly. I voted for Carter TWICE and can't stand Bushy policies but understand that poverty equates to crime. As a biologist I understand the need to protect our natural resources. Look at Haiti and see what impact poverty has on the environment. They were forced to burn most of their trees just to feed their families. China is discovering that sure a great economy is wonderful but if it is obtained at the expense of polluting your lands and killing your children with toxic wastes, was it really worth having. Businessmen like Bloomberg and Trump can't survive if they don't find a middle road. First provide for your citizens who elected you to help them, then seek wise counsel to find a nice balance of regulating businesses and preserving your natural environment. Ultimately unless you are a ZPG advocate, there is going to be a slow spiral down into diminishing environmental and economic resources. Without tech investment and hopefully the discovery of new non-polluting ways to feed your citizens, that don't deplete your natural resources, things will inevitably get much worse. Investing in tech requires money, so like it our not, a knowledge of business is probably more important than politics at this point in our Nation's history.

Reaganomics is what helped cause the recession;Relieving the stress on the wealthy and putting it on the middle and lower classes will not make the situation better the only way is to elevate the middle and lower classes.

Big Pharma is a term used mainly by cospirationists who believe in some pseudoscientific things.
No doubt pharmaceutical companies want to make profit but to say that it is all a big conspiracy and that they only want us sick to make more money is only counterproductive:
the reality of things is that to make effective cures requests a lot of money, research, experimentation, acceptance, so, basically a lot of time.
Because we live in a society where time = money, pharmaceutical companies to stay on the market have to develop some palliative medicines first which keep a range of maladies at bay before the release of a cure for others more serious maladies. That's it.

Hey I have two questions,
First of all can somebody tell me a little about R/D? I know it involves countries gaining influence in a region to take it over. But how does this happen?
Also, what is a puppet storage? What is Disney world? Sounds fun
I'm breaking the rules and only answering question two.
(oh so revolutionary *breaks window*)
A puppet storage is where you throw your puppets that you don't need. For example if I have one puppet for R/D stuff I deposit it there awaiting orders from our mighty lord Yodle (hail Yodle). About R/D I have little to say.
Enjoy your stay in the Happiest Region in the World.
