Is Andrew Rusher from the KNP someone here? My buddies and I took over an empty party, and now some guy is getting comically angry that we are all in the wrong states and stole his party.

He's a crazy Internet person who's all over a lot of places, not a gimmick.

they matter a pretty good amount with a few new changes. if your a dem, its probably best to just go liberal/liberal, as you will get the full power benefit. you will also do best in dem primaries.

In red states you are better off changing your policies to suit the state's demographics, and coordinating with party members to avoid having to do primaries. You get a hit to power/turn, but the institutional strength of dems is so much higher that it doesn't really matter.

Apparently my politician is getting spammed by russian email leaks.

Not really complaining but it'd be more useful if the russians included who each email was sent to rather than just FROM and MESSAGE, maybe I could find the emails other people sent me.

I'd say see how income changes form year to year. If we're increasing it by more than 1 or 2%, we're outpacing interest

Edit:
Actually, we're increasing the debt by about 18% per year, so we might need to make cuts to be responsible.

So remember when I dove in too hard and quit the game/Discords with no explanation because I burned out and went mildly crazy from pretending to be a Nazi? Fun times. Anyways, I just logged back in for the first time in a while and it looks like the Democrats have basically won the game already - any point in coming back?

Maybe there's some sort of republican identity crisis?

I posted about it on the POWER forums but that place is practically dead.

I don't mind all these boring coms, it's not like my twelve (12) emails are as interesting as some random chatter infighting. Gives me something to do since I'm just generating +2 power atm.
