Does being governor actually do anything other than give you bonus power and national influence?

Not yet but apparently we're close to getting Governor actions implemented. For now your main job is either fundraising or spreading AAs to help your comrades win their races with all your bonus power.

Hey, if there was anyone playing who may have drifted away, Rumsod bailed out the Republicans so they're actually making a go of it again. Would love to have people back.

He set both major parties to 100% institutional strength, so suddenly everyone was at max power gain. The levels are now ticking back down towards where they should be, but the infusion of power allowed the Republicans to get back on their feet.

If the game wants third parties to be viable, you need to implement instant runoff or Random Ballot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_ballot
In order to get that, you'd have to let politicians push for ballot initiatives or something to change the voting system.

I'm not even sure why they got the bailout when Rumsod had already made it so Full Communism Now wasn't viable and made it so being a right wing Democrat in a red state gave you reduced power, plus a couple third parties were on the upswing

so like is it possible/viable to play this as a behind-the-scenes antagonist figure who just raises money for the party, contributes to friendly campaigns, and runs attack ads without giving a single gently caress about your reputation or popular support or w/e? does never actually running for office or campaigning yourself make it impossible to effectively generate much revenue?

or is it dumb to even ask that kind of strategic question at this point

yeah, there's lots of room for people who don't run for office. Just go to CA or NY so you can raise more money.
