As a Canadian IRL I will be agitating for the downfall of this Godless and treasonous 'republic' and the restoration of our Glorious Hanoverian monarch.

Only three of these guys seem to have any social media presence. John Adams seems harmless, but mentions "good old British weather", which disqualifies him immediately. Robert Harrison seems to have virtually no political positions whatsoever, instead being content with pushing storage solutions on the public. That leaves John Rutledge, who has my vote by seeming to have some interest in the economy, and by advocating for a stronger central government.John Rutledge posted:Fed suffers from small balls syndrome.

George III - King of Great Britain, Ireland and Hanover: A devoted family man who has dedicated his life to security and wellbeing of his country and to carrying out the will of the democratically elected parliament in the face of treasonous aristocrats who think they're too good to pay taxes. He is also staunchly in favour of upholding the nation's commitment to Native Americans. George Washington: A militarily unsuccessful but wealthy former British general who has surrounded himself with ivory tower intellectuals and allied himself with France's absolute monarchy against his own country in order to avoid paying his fair share in taxes and because its leaders wouldn't let him commit genocide against the Natives. Also, he owns slaves. I think you guys can pick the best George from the two above.

The UK will abolish slavery sooner, so clearly the quickest route to ending slavery in the US is to forget this whole silly independence thing and come back to the benevolent arms of good ol' Blighty. We'll only oppress you a teensy bit, honest.

My son was born a North Carolinian, and he will die saluting that flag above all others as far as I'm concerned. General Washington may be a dirty Federalist, but I know for sure he isn't a traitor. Much rather him or Rutledge to keep our state and our union free than some of these other federalist radicals and appeasers ITC*. *In This (electoral) College.

I appreciate Jay's economic interests more than Adams's, even with the slavery issue. This should be a really cool thread, QuoProQuid.

wasn't it considered uncouth for candidates to campaign for themselves? all of our candidates are just sitting on their plantations and sipping uh tea i guess while the good people are doing all the work for them my vote is for adams/jay but sadly the only campaign swag i've been able to find is washington/adams

I fear we are going to gently caress up right at the beginning. If we don't elect Washington we will be making a huge mistake. So I am going to lay out a multi-faceted argument for why we need to vote Washington. 1.) Washington is a baller-rear end motherfucker: Who did we trust out armies to to defeat the British? George loving Washington. I know a lot of people will claim that generals don't necessarily make good presidents, but I think this general is special. He was relentless even in defeat. He was a successful organizer. At the end of the war he stood down like good Cincinnatus. My point is we can trust Washington to not make himself king. Can we trust a monarchist like John Adams to do the same? 2.) Washington knows his limitations: Washington is a smart dude, but Washington knows he has weaknesses; that is why he surrounds himself with people he can trust. I know Washington didn't invent the idea of a cabinet, but he did bring it to the U.S. And he did set the tone for how a President and his Cabinet operate. 3.) Washington on the army: Holy poo poo, we cannot survive as a nation based on regional militias. No one knows this better than Washington. No one will work as tirelessly to make sure our fledgling nation can defend itself against enemies domestic and foreign better than General Washington. While he did need the regional militias to put down the Whiskey Rebellion, Washington's belief in professional soldiers and a standing army are essential to defending this project in democracy. 4.) Washington on economics: Modern views on national debt are probably shading our idea of Washington's attack on national debt. Washington is no Ramirez. Washington knows that for a nation in its infancy it is important to be healthy economically. We need to be able to effectively collect taxes. We need to be able to effectively settle our debts. We need to be able to raise and maintain enough funds to be able to solve problems as they arise. If we can't pay out debts right now there is no way this country will be able to get off the ground because we do not yet have the reputation to be able to take on debt successfully. My argument is pretty much this: We are, as an voting body, looking too far into the future. We are trying to set up a Socialist States of America before we have even proven a nation can survive on its own on these shores. Before we can look forward, we need to cement our present. We need to elect someone who has learned the right lessons from the struggle so far. And that man is General Washington. No other leader can ensure the safety of this fledgling nation. A vote for Washington/Adams or a vote for Washington/Jay is a vote for a strong, united America: an America that can survive a couple of decades without having to write a new governing document. But a vote for Adams/Jay is a vote for the death of this young Republic. Washington/Someone '89

so are these elections considered canon for future elections or do we reset each time? This impacts my vote. I feel like if we're carrying the canon forward I need Washington but if we aren't I got to go with Jay.
