2024 Quickshot

[WVProgressive]

The poll I ran on discord shows a clear preference for a 2024 quickshot rp, so here it is.

For help in determining how Biden’s term went, I rolled a one hundred sided die for each of the following major issues:

Covid-19: 76 – Covid has been mostly contained as the election opens, and has been supplanted in the minds of many voters by other issues.

Economy: 26 – While Covid has mostly receded, the same can’t be said of its recession. Inflation, underemployment, and income inequality increased during Biden’s term.

Crime: 6 – Crime has skyrocketed during Biden’s first term, nearing levels not seen since the 1980s

China: 79 – The Second Cold War continues, but for the time being America has a clear advantage over the Chinese. Widespread acknowledgment of Chinese human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims, and the loss of North Korea as an ally following a US-Japanese backed military coup in early 2023 after Kim Jung-Un suffered a debilitating stroke helped fuel America’s current advantage.
Russia: 94 – The so called Slavic Spring began with pro-liberalization protests in Poland, and soon spread throughout Eastern Europe, culminating in the ouster of Putin, and United Russia from political power, replaced by democracy activist, and political prisoner Alexei Navalny of the Coalition For Change. The Presidency of Navalny saw a far less bellicose Russia, one which returned the territories of Crimea to Ukraine, and which began the first of many steps towards European Integration.

Midterms: 21 – The 2022 elections was a Red Wave in every sense of the word, with Republicans retaking the house, and senate by healthy margins, as well as increasing the number of Governorships, and State Legislatures they held.

Voting Rights: 57 – Nothing much changes, with Republican voter ID laws in safe red states being outweighed by Democratic voting rights laws in safe blue states. Due to the fact that most high population states are also blue states, the Democrats have an advantage on this, but not by much.

Social Issues: 47 – Again, nothing much changes, the Supreme Court struck down the Texas abortion law, which created a chilling effect against any other major socially conservative legislature. Republican control of the federal, and many state, legislatures also prevented the passage of any major liberal social bills.

Race Relations: 26 – Race relations continued to be strained during Biden’s first term. Fueled by a lack of substantive racial reform, and the continued growth of non-white populations, there is a heavy level of discontent between White, and Non-White Americans, leading to a modestly sizable increase in support to racialized policies on both the left, and right.

Infrastructure: 81 – The passage of Biden’s infrastructure bill saw noticeable, large improvements in the quality of many roads, especially those in rural communities, while also improving urban transportation. It also aided railway infrastructure, helping Biden curry favor among Socialists.

Other Foreign Policy: 85 – Despite the disaster that was the Afghanistan withdrawal, Biden’s foreign policy has actually been one of his administration’s sweet spots. He has repaired America’s standing abroad, strengthened NATO, spearheaded the end of Venezualan, and Bolivian socialism, ended the Cuban embargo, and negotiated a new Trans-Pacific-Partnership.

Immigration: 45 – Immigration rates didn’t change a noticeable amount during Biden’s term, however he has been sharply criticized by Progressives for his continuation of Trump’s illegal immigrant detention program.

Climate Change: 65 – There was no major federal legislation with regards to climate change, however many blue states passed their own environmental legislation, with Vermont, and California even passing mini-Green New Deals. Despite the lack of federal legislation, fossil fuels like Oil, Natural Gas, and Coal saw hard times during Biden’s term, and states reliant on these industries saw little to no help in rebuilding their economies. Due to being forced into objectively worse jobs in the service sector, resentment among the former employees of fossil fuel industries is high.

It is September 10^th, 2023 turns last one week. You know how this works I’m sure, 3 events a turn, plus an endorsement request.

I can see that, and I might even be compelled to edit it if other players concur with your observations. I assumed that many moderate Democrats and independents would support Manchin over Warren, or one of the other lower name recognition candidates.

Can we start events?

True. Yeah, I think I might tweak the NH polling a bit. I was rushing to get that part done so I probably did do a sloppy job.

[Sean F Kennedy]

1. Jimmy Dore kicks off the campaign with a rally in Burbank, California going directly at the Democratic Party “You thought segregation Joe was bad they now have Republican lite Joe Manchin and lying Liz Warren, who’s going to fucking tell you to vote for Joe Manchin. This is why The People’s Party is a thing.”

2. Jimmy Dore will campaign in his hometown of Chicago Illinois, hitting Lori Lightfoot, calling her “The De Blasio of Chicago” 

3. Jimmy Dore will go on The Joe Rogan Experience and will look to branch out and peel some Republican leaning voters. He will lambast The Young Turks. “You know Cenk only got like 6% in his congressional race… cmon man.”

Endorsement Request: Jimmy Dore will seek the endorsement of former Green Party nominee Ralph Nader.

1. Manchin kicks off the campaign in New Hampshire. Promising America that he will return the Democratic Party to the party of Truman, JFK, and Carter. Not the party of the worst Democratic President since Woodrow Wilson: Joe Biden. 

2. Manchin campaigns in South Carolina, heading to the upstate to bring out the working class white moderates, saying that a vote for Manchin is a vote for a new Democratic Party that'll represent them once more as they did decades ago. 

3. Manchin campaigns in Iowa. Touring the Farm Counties and promising to ensure their voices are heard in his Administration.

Endorsement: Manchin requests the endorsement of Jim Clyburn. Urging him not to cave into the former Republican... Eric Adams.

1. Ivanka Trump will announce her bid for the Presidency in a special video address released online and to the media. Speaking from her home with her husband and children at her side, Trump will declare that it's time to take America back from the "broken insider politics which ignores millions of families across this country" and to replace the failing President Biden with "someone who has experience in both the private sector and Oval Office, who can restore the family values and American Dream which so many have seen taken away from them." She challenges the Biden Administration on its high inflation created by "reckless spending" and promises to restore the work of her father's Administration and rebuild America as a "free, prosperous, and united country". Ivanka will close the address by stating that her campaign isn't about "left versus right, white versus black", but instead is about "the people versus the corruption and dysfunction of Washington. The fed-up families and communities who are ready to restore this country's greatness versus the politicians who have spent years eroding and undermining their prosperity."

 

2. Ivanka will hold a series of rallies in Iowa, declaring that her father's Admin was, "just a glimpse" of what America can accomplish, and promises slashed prices, millions of new jobs, and booming growth under her Presidency.

 

3. Ivanka will campaign in New Hampshire, appealing to independents with fiery zeal, proclaiming that, "If you feel like you don't have a team in Washington truly fighting for you, you'd be right. I've been there, and I've seen that both sides need to learn the lesson that it's the American people who are in charge of this country, not them. Because every passing day our leaders fail to protect our families, communities, or values, and then they turn around and pretend as though they have any right to act like their leadership is working. It's time to flip the script and show Washington the potential when the American people band together!"

 

Endorsement: Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds
