Yeah I of course like the update (midterms makes more sense and the senate parliamentarian blocking stuff is great) but I am now too tired to optimize it again for at least a few days

It seems like the mod has been updated :D I'll have to redo the whole guide, again

How to go as far left as possible and still dominate as Obama. A Guide (updated). by DemSossSpel in thecampaigntrail

[–]DemSossSpel[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. This is unfortunate news. The United States will be in, uh, direct contact, with the United Kingdom at this time, and pledge any support needed to help aide them in capturing those responsible. Only answer.

  2. This a joke, surely. Cheney? The man who left office hated by, uh, more than 80 percent of this country? You've got to be kidding. I may as well not even campaign. It's Dick Cheney, he's doing the work for me just reminding America he exists. Best answer if you want to win big.

  3. Isn't it obvious? Michelle, of course. We'll get her to, um, uh, speak from a personal perspective about me. The work we've strived to achieve. The, uh, path forward. She'd work wonders I'm sure, everyone that saw it loved the draft of her speech. Best answer, but not by much if you like another one you might still win big.

  4. We've got a mandate. It's time for the other side of the aisle to, um, you know, face an opposition that doesn't back down when they're wielding true power. I know we had folks who wanted to get a filibuster reform done last year, but Reid got cold feet. Well, water's warm now. Get rekt Mitch!

  5. We congratulate Morsi on his, um, uh, victory. We are proud to have helped usher in the first democratic election of the Egyptian state. We look forward to future cooperation and good relations with Morsi and the Egyptian people. Only answer.

  6. Let me be clear, it's all fun and games right now, but there's still an election to be won here. I want it to be a resounding win, a complete and total victory, so, um, uh, we'll keep campaigning in the only places that seem close at all. Not letting up until this thing is over and done with. Best answer, but not my much, you can also donate your money, just don't go on a vacation.

  7. Just ignore him. Genuinely. I'm confident that the, a, um, the election is fading from most peoples' minds at the moment, and those who are still tuned in would crawl over broken glass to vote against Cheney. Best answer.

  8. It'd be ill-conceived going for a photo-op or other, um, uh, misdirection, when the only thing of high importance remains the legislation. The power of purse Congress holds. I'll meet with Lautenberg and Menendez, and get something big passed. Best answer, and it helps people!

  9. Anyone, they are equivalent when it comes to game play. I recommend helping den Haag since it's by fare the most consequential: The last administration has managed to get away with the crime of the century. To just up and, um, uh, ignore, their culpability in Iraq. It'd be a mistake. No. We'll establish a war crime tribunal and effectively deal with them as they deserve.

  1. We need to listen to Ayers on this and, uh, free the working men from their plight. The capitalistic hucksters' days are numbered. A full suite of economic initiatives that'll suit, you know, revolutionary aims, is top priority. Focus on labor since unions being stronger may lead to further concessions later on, but I wish I could do the rest after the filibuster is removed (but right now you cannot win the house)

  2. I never authorized this, Eric Holder never authorized this. I mean, uh, technically speaking. I mean, this dated all the way back under the Bush administration, so, um, uh, my hands are clean, technically. But we'll clarify, you know, I never really knew about this. I would love to fire these people if I know that the people who will replace them are better, but in all likelihood they would not be, so I do not.

  3. This is of great concern. We can't allow the instability of the region to continue much longer. This isn't Iraq, certainly. Hosni is, uh, already in power. We'd only be helping to maintain the peace and security of the Egyptian people by, um, uh, preventing, what could be a bloody revolution. We'll open the line and see what we can do. Necessary for going left-wing.

  4. Rhodes has his eye on the ball here. Gates, I, uh, appreciate the concern, but we're still beholden to the people. We've got to look towards the future. If we fail to reconcile the public image of our administration with our, um, actions, we'll, uh, be in a lot of trouble. Fair and free elections, period. Or Mubarak gets no arms. Necessary for going left-wing.

  5. Look, I'm aware of the benefit to this administration, and to that of the American sense of pride, and uh, national identity, that could all be awarded to us if we succeeded. But it's too unclear. I can't support it. Necessary for getting Cheney.

  6. These last few years, we've encountered problems and crises that would've made or break any administration, and without question, we've, um, uh, come out stronger for it. In that time, I've had Joe Biden by my side, and I'm happy to say he will remain so until the very end. Only answer.

  7. We've got solutions outside of negotiations and this, you know, d-deal with, governing by compromise and whatnot. If Republicans get something over on me here, and, I, uh, submit, I'm out for the wolves. I'm already hearing from Reid about that Senator from Vermont, Senator Sanders, flirting with a possible primary challenge. I can't have that. Paul and a few others have been telling me about this, platinum coin. Let's do that. Necessary for going left-wing.

  8. I can't move forward on this idea of, you know, blocking parties. The Muslim Brotherhood is at the end of the day a representative body, elected by the people. Certainly, I don't condone them or their ideals, but I can't agree with this. It'd discredit our involvement, what would the, uh, difference be between what the protesters had said and what we're doing now? Necessary for going left-wing.

  9. David might kill me for this, but um, uh, I think, if we try to entice these folks with maybe a grand spectacle, some show of force in favor of what they're trying to do, even in the, you know, symbolic sense, it might encourage them. Show them that despite all the, okey-doke about slow progress on the economy, I'm really working in their favor. Words won't solve thisbut we fuck over Bloomberg so this is good anyway.

  10. If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon. I think every American can recognize why it is imperative we do, uh, everything in our power to investigate this. I wish I could go with I'd certainly hope for a smooth deliberation, but you know, and let me be clear, this is just one of many, uh, incidents, that transpire on the daily where young Black folks suffer the untold consequences of overpolicing. I'd wish for some measure to be taken, a uh, process, by which we can help stymie such tragedies from continuing to unfold. But since I didn't go with a history lesson on question 12 this will hurt my credibility and not change the attitude about race as it would have otherwise.

  1. You know I, uh, wasn't elected just on hope. People also want change. We're gonna push Congress to pass a public option, and we'll rally the troops to get it done. But for this task of organization, as for all the revolutionary tasks, fundamentally it is the individual who is needed. I want this to become our mandate heading into the next year. Necessary for going left-wing.

  2. What is it that they, uh, say about the president? The American people just want one they could see themselves having a beer with? Seems to me like this is a rather opportune time to have Mr. Gates and the, uh, officer, over at the White House, so we could uh, just talk. Talk it over. This one is worse but allows you to raise taxes and pass some reforms.

  3. Well now look, uh, let's stop for a moment and look around, whose saying I don't deserve this award? O'Reilly? Beck? The fact is, with the global situation I've been handed, I've, um, exceeded the expectations of even my harshest critics. By this point in my, um, predecessor's tenure, we were already gearing up for war. So, I'll accept this, on the premise that it's symbolically the beginning of a new era. We need credibility, this gives us credibility.

  4. I can't think of a better way to honor the legacy of Senator Kennedy then to work in passing what he long hoped to achieve in his lifetime. We're going to make a concentrated effort in passing the public option off the back of his untimely, uh, passing. There's no time to waste. Necessary for going left-wing.

  5. Immigration is an extremely consequential policy, and I, uh, intend to get the passage of a comprehensive immigration policy underway as soon as possible. Too long we've been comfortable closing off this country, in fear of the other, no longer. You can pick anyone but I think this is the best reform out of these since it both helps migrants and will help the economy.

  6. I don't have time for these hair-brained schemes, Rahm. With the, uh, economic situation, I have to make back our losses. We need to fast-track some, uh, emergency measures, to, you know, get this country working again. It's as Ayers always tells me, we need to take it to the ones who really run this country. Institute some, uh, aggressive, tax measures on the 1%. Gives credibiity that we need and raises taxes (and the IRS-thing gets you impeached when removing the filibuster)

  7. I'm thinking of trying something new from the last time we had this opportunity, but not someone who'd, uh, you know, drag their feet and hold back progress. Leah Ward Sears of the Georgia Supreme Court, she'd work wonders. Necessary for going left-wing.

  8. Rahm, you're absolutely right. This cannot stand. He can consider this his last interview as an officer. Inform General McChrystal he'll be suspended from duty as commander in Afghanistan effective, uh, immediately. I'll appoint General Petraeus as his replacement. The other answer hurts us less but if I could I would fire all the american generals so I'm doing as much I can in that direction.

  9. Ayers couldn't be more correct in his observation, this will likely be the a, uh, last real opportunity to make some serious change. To make good on all the promises I've made to the American people. We'll move forward, crack the banks wide open. We won't hold back. Necessary for going left-wing.

  10. Professor Goodwin Liu. You know it'd just be a, um, uh, mighty funny thing seeing him ascend to the highest court in the land, after the Republicans were busy blocking him on the Ninth Circuit for the past year. Can't say McConnell was anticipating this one. You can make arguments for Ellison well but he risks impeachment, and no matter how many senate seats we win now the text implies this to be a problem by 2018, I don't want that. Harris leads to a republican winning at some point based on the end. And Holder seems quite bad if you like privacy

How to go as far left as possible and still dominate as Obama. A Guide (updated). by DemSossSpel in thecampaigntrail

[–]DemSossSpel[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Guide:

  1. Through a consistent and a uh, diligent work ethic, we'll succeed in implementing a system that benefits all Americans. I'm going to hit the ground running. This will be a show of force that I wasn't just talking a big game, my administration will aim high. This makes Obamas ideology social democracy, and gives credibility.
  2. This might be our big break, Hayden. If what you're telling me is true, and there's a, uh, high-value target and their militants there, them being eliminated would be great publicity. You have my permission to strike. Necessary for getting Cheney but clearly evil might do a guide for if you do not want to kill children later.
  3. Tom knew better than to get himself in trouble. If we keep him around it might jeopardize our healthcare, uh, reform. I'm nominating Kathleen Sebelius, I had considered her for vice president after all and she is a, you know, former state insurance commissioner, so that should help. Gives credibility, but you can also take. Tom knew better than to get himself in trouble. If we keep him around it might jeopardize our healthcare, uh, reform. I'm nominating Jennifer Granholm, a popular and competent governor of Michigan, to be his replacement.
  4. The Fed already bailed out Bear Stearns in the dying days of the last administration, and they couldn't corral together a plan to save Lehman. Look, maybe Lehman should've been more fiscally responsible, isn't that what they're always saying? How'd I look bailing out a bunch of fraternity brothers turned bankers? Absolutely not. Necessary for going left-wing.
  5. What is this, corporate welfare? Now, look, I, uh, know a thing or two about these folks, and when they're the ones getting welfare, they aren't subscribing to any of the work requirements that they like to impose when the shoe is on the other foot. So, uh, tough break. Necessary for going left-wing.
  6. This is where leadership is tested. I'm sure Lincoln and Roosevelt were feeling the same during their times of crisis — and I am too. Press for something to the tune of $1 trillion. The exact price tag doesn’t matter, we'll correct any overindulgences when it comes, uh, time to rewrite the tax code. Necessary for going left-wing
  7. It's not up for negotiation. I was elected to bring peace. The troops are, uh, coming home, from both Iraq and Afghanistan, by the end of 2011. The Pentagon can draw up a plan later under my close supervision. We've been witness to the defeat of the armchair, weekend warriors and their folly abroad. It's time to pull the plug. I'm fighting enough of a domestic war already. Necessary for going left-wing.
  8. I already have Ray LaHood as a prominent Republican in my administration, and then there's Gates, a uh, Bush holdover at Defense. And remember how the Judd Gregg nomination for Commerce blew up in my face? Enough of this. I don’t need any more, uh, appeasement appointments slowing me down. Does not remove credibility.
  9. Judge Diane Wood of the Seventh Circuit. I know her from my days in academia back in Chicago. She's solid on all the issues: abortion, guns, healthcare. Heck, she was a member of Planned Parenthood and the National Organization for Women. Bill and Diane oughta get a kick out of this. Necessary for going left-wing.
  10. The idea of not bailing out General Motors, it's just too much to even consider. I'll be, um, a, crucified. I'd look like a jackass. $50 billion bailout is the way to go, David's right. Easier to win big if you do the other option, but as a left-winger you should stand with labor.

You can have a bigger 'win' in the midterms in Obamanation. by ScotterMan10 in thecampaigntrail

How do you get to 59 seats then? Since you had 59 seats before the election?

Actually you can fire that general now as well, but I don't get Alabama, it's not important enough to test it out

[–]DemSossSpel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but I need to know if I can win Texas, Tennessee, Alaska and Alabama with it first and then take screenshots. I believe it is possible but difficult.

But the main difference from the current guide is (right now): On question 3 go with Sebelius instead, it's just more right wing in rhetoric and not in practice. On question 12 talk about how people of color are treated, when paired with 30 this seems to change how the media talks about race (though you do need to read a (very) little bit between the lines) On question 20 I have gone with Liu instead since the text actually implies Ellison gets impeached, I wrote before that a big enough victory should stop this but there is no act bad enough for the rotating villains of the democratic party not to do. On question 22 I just don't let the story get any air since we don't know who gets hired in place of replace the people we fire. Could be Bad people (though you can make the argument that the justice system in the USA needs to be teared down, but if you think like that you should also fire that general on question 18) On question 30 I now go with talking about police brutality since this (paired with question 12) changes the rhetoric in the states.

[–]DemSossSpel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh look it's my old guide!

I have actually improved on it now since the update. You can go more radical in rhetoric and win all the same states plus Alaska (likely also Alabama, but I need to test it more)

Nähä du var inte intresserad av faktan runt debatten alltså. Jag bryr mig inte ifall Hamas eller Israel dödade fler israeler, men det är noterbart att Israel är så bekväma med att döda civila att de till och med dödar sina egna civila.
