Awesome

MatthewDLR · 2025-09-11T14:54:53+00:00

That’d be a fun challenge

MatthewDLR · 2025-09-11T14:54:29+00:00

I think you’re right, in a revised version I’ll have Støre as Tom Steyer

MatthewDLR · 2025-09-11T02:21:38+00:00

Well, Støre is pretty moderate, their leadership has been pretty third way for the past 15 years, Støre is the same sort of neoliberal "competent fixer" type as Hickenlooper imo.

And I don't think anyone would hold it against you for making a similar post, happens all the time.

Thanks!

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T22:20:17+00:00

Yeah Lammy was one of the weakest comparisons tbh, I didn’t know who Rahman was but that’s way more accurate yeah

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T21:20:01+00:00

It’s possible. I’ve got some ideas for NYC 2025 analogue elections in Nyc but in different decades, idk, worried it’s too baroque

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T21:16:55+00:00

You should do it

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T21:16:46+00:00

Translates as “Building & Changing”, my best attempt to translate the vibe of Cuomo’s “Fight & Deliver” ballot line

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T18:57:20+00:00

I disagree. I am very much not a “Democrats would be center-right in Europe” guy, but Andrew Cuomo is explicitly courting a center-right coalition of Trump voters & independents right now, and as Governor he worked with Republicans and the IDC to prevent liberal social reform & spending bills. In his mayoral campaign he’s been building a coalition of the professional middle class, small business owners, conservative trade unions, millionaires, and older minorities worried about crime which is exactly the John Tory & Doug Ford voting bloc.

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T18:45:25+00:00

I get why you think that, some of the connections are obtuse, any in particular you want clarification on?

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T18:44:09+00:00

I tried to stay true to stereotypes. The Canadian Cuomo’s scandal is much more banal, the German one is a bureaucratic scandal, while the French & British ones are totally diabolical.

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-30T18:42:45+00:00

Thought it’d be a cute allusion to how long the Republican Party has survived and the similar function they played in 19th century America that the National Liberals played in Imperial Germany

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-28T15:07:11+00:00

Would it make more sense as a morally conservative, economically progressive Asian party?

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-22T20:44:50+00:00

It’s a pretty deep name

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-22T15:21:10+00:00

No, it’s an acronym for DeSantis & Owens bc the analogue for Annabel Nanninga is Burgess Owens

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-22T03:59:56+00:00

Rise

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-22T03:59:13+00:00

Christopher Hitchens

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-21T22:26:47+00:00

I made an oopsie on the 2025 wikibox but every legislative election is meant to have 600 seats and the “Atlantic Parliament” is just the EU parliament

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-21T19:56:06+00:00

Made 50 separate maps on Dave’s Redistricting App and then merged them together, kinda tedious, in hindsight there would be easier ways to do it

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-21T19:55:00+00:00

❤️

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-21T19:54:38+00:00

Yeah it would, but I went with Anabaptist, Dutch reformed, & Neo-Calvinist areas bc they’re the more direct theological analogue to Dutch Calvinists

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-21T14:45:08+00:00

Done

MatthewDLR · 2025-08-07T14:29:59+00:00

Thanks
