/u/ben1204 is now a senior member of /r/modelusgov at the old old age of 20 years

So an ALP member posted this in the skype chat.

In brief, it is an absorption of a smaller party by a bigger party. Leadership positions would be distributed as follows:

• /u/elliottc99 remains party leader

• /u/Ben1204 becomes deputy leader

• /u/MDK6778 also becomes deputy leader

• All other minor leadership positions go to current ALP members

This is, in my opinion, ridiculous. The sub that the newfangled "Democratic Labor Party" would be using is the current ALP subreddit, the ALP colors and imagery stays mostly the same. This is a party with no place on the political spectrum which is not already taken up by two parties.

In the document, there was also linked this constitution. The acronyms used in this document are silly. They are cancer. 'DLPEC' 'DLPPL' 'DLPDL' 'DLPPW' 'DLPCOR' 'DLPCPS' etc...

This is yet another comical attempt by the American Labor Party to be relevant.

The member who leaked this explained that the ALP leadership did this with no consent of the Party. Personally I find this ironic as the leader, before my departure from the American Labor Party, criticized be for not advocating for transparency.

The DNC has signed the constitution.

no elliott FUCKING faked it

I'm interested in making a ModelUSGov based in the 1960s. It would start in 1960 during the elections. I would need a CSS overlord, someone to run the Republicans, and someone to run the Democrats to help me. I would be President Eisenhower.

that there is left vs right drama going on that isn't surrounded around the socialists for once?

They deserve it for a well done campaign!

^{God help us all}

Show proof that you are engaged in a scandal and I will offer something of my choice, on the house.

What the hell's up with all the green lefts in here? I mean, seriously. Why are there so many comrades? This isn't meant as any type of hate speech or anything, I'm just genuinely curious why so many people think communism is the way to go.

A free round of drinks for the merger of the ALP and the Democrats, systematically destroying democracy and creating a super-majority as we know it.

I have decided, in 2015, to run for president.

Because apparently /u/ben1204 and /u/oughton42 think I'm a good choice for the libs.

So vote for me, so we can solidify the Libertarians as a meme-tier party.

Why vote for me?

• As a former governor, I have executive experience.

• As a current representative, I know how laws work.

• I'm dank.

• I'm down to clown.

• I like Tarantino films.

• I'm running for president.

• I'm new enough to bring a fresh vibe to the sub, but enough of a veteran to get it.

• I like freedom and liberty.

• I'd kiss a baby, if necessary.

• I'm not Hillary Clinton.

• I'm not Donald "Closet-Liberal with annoyingly bigoted and conservative-esque opinions" Trump

• Gohte thinks I'll make the Libertarians meme-tier. Don't you want that? I think that sounds just dandy.

• I'm closer to Ron Paul than Rand Paul is.

• I won't take your guns.

• I won't take your jobs.

• I love you more than Jesus.

• I won't burn you alive

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wIOYOYvyiE

• I'm hip.

• I'm with it.

• I'm schwifty.

ME 2015

I'm thinking about hosting a Question Time. For all of you who don't know what that is, it's essentially a panel of 5-7 politicians from different parties, with questions being asked by the audience. It'd be hosted on a reddit live thread. In this case, we'd have a thread gathering good questions prior to doing it. We are kind of lacking anything similar to that, so let me know what your thoughts are!

edit: I quick put this spreadsheet together containing the members of the panel.

This is the Capitol Club. We just opened our doors and the place is still a bit under construction. For the menu, see the Wiki.

Please feel free to order a cocktail (or non-alcoholic beverage)... enjoy the historic details of our building and have a chat with others involved in the simulation ... away from the stuffy confines of the Capitol.

Hope you like it here!

Very much new to this whole thing, but want to get involved because I feel like it will teach me a lot about how government works in a visceral sense.

I've noticed references to laws that pre-date Reddit. How are real life laws included? Are they all included? Only those that pre-date Reddit? I am somewhat confused by this bit.

What is the best way to get started? I registered in a state, and have requested to join a political party. I figure at this point I ought to just start commenting on bills? What is the best way to keep up with what is going on?

Is there a better guide than the laughable short beginners guide?

It would be an excellent meme tbh

This song is called "Love Me I'm DLP", and it's based off of "Love Me I'm A Liberal" by Phil Ochs.

The lyrics are by /u/AdmiralJones42, /u/Ehbrums1, and Phil Ochs. It's performed by yours truly, /u/AdmiralJones42, and it is produced and edited by /u/Ehbrums1. Please enjoy.

This could be a really awesome way to expose people who like roleplay subreddits like this one to other communities of like minded individuals. I had been trying to find a subreddit to do what we do here, but in a company setting, and I had some trouble, so I made my own, /r/hhmmroleplay , where we roleplay being in an advertising agency. If there are other subreddits like mine and ModelUSGov, I'd be really interested. Thanks!

Yeah it'll be about /r/ModelUSGov. Let me know your thoughts

So many model parliaments are talking about foreign relations and meeting between the governments.

So what is the US governments position on the other governments?
