We should create a new party if she proves she is inactive

Trenton I know your ticked, but remember it may have been multi's of hers. Some probably did vote for her and I agree that they must have been high or something to do so.

But it might have been multi's. A lot of people supported you (Including me, even though I'm not in the CSD.) So there is no way she could be winning by that many votes unless she is voting for herself with other accounts.

I'm pretty sure anyone who wants a more diverse political scene was rooting for you.

I know I was.

Yeah, I see your point. Well I have to agree with your article then, that they are fools for voting for her.

I'm sorry but it just tick's me off to no end with these kinds of people.

Seems that if she's inactcive then she is multing to give her an unfair advantage. Truly there is no itsnor buts about it if she is inactive then, then she will be inactive now. Your best chance is to create a new party and and start over.

wats her goal of making tones of multies, just to win congress a million times? the 5 gold?

To be Prime Minister.

Cottus is dead?

You think she could have taken PM seats with just multi?

Well Canadian Cottus is.

Is it possible that party members just weren't that thrilled with your campaign? I wasn't thrilled with either major candidate (and with only one-quarter of party members voting, I assume many others weren't either), but Cleo seems to be striking a more positive tone, if only by virtue of her silence.

@Senning how exactly does Cleo seem to be striking a more positive tone,
I'm calling for the Unity of our party, She's more concerned about how she would led Canada
I'm more focused on fixing the Party, Cleo seems to be focused on only fixing her ego.

*stops rolling in his grave & gets up*

Don't be so sure Trenton, I may have to come back in 1 months time and reclaim CSD myself 😛

Such a shame, I made a new logo just yesterday...

Well If that's what it takes to get the CSD back on it's feet then I'm right behind it.

Great Logo btw

Augustus why the hell are you still in the CSD?

Thanks Trenton... it was something I shoulda done 6 months ago. When CSD went through the V1 transition machine from beta, the logo was shat out and ended up all grainy 🙁

I doubt that you got thrashed because of multi accounts. I do know that Cleo put out a message (and I'm assuming it was sent to many others) stating her case and her reason for running. I didn't even know you were running until I saw your name on the ballot. Fortunately or unfortunately for yourself you're dealing with a lot of people who have no sense of the history of eRepublik and make decisions based on what is put before them. Bitterness, ignorance and intolerance are hardly qualities I personally look for in a party leader, so my conscience is clear.

As I stated in another comments and Girth stated above, I think it may have been an issue of newer members not informing themselves and voting for the only person who contacted them. I for one read all new articals and investigated... And I voted for you. You are a better choice but you ran nearly no campaign.

I don't have any multis. I did go through the effort of messaging almost every single member of the party (410 or so!) to announce my intentions to run in the election and state my goals.

After that, I shook hands and answered questions. Had there been babies there would have been kisses - just plain, boring, old fashioned legal electioneering is all I did. And, should the results of the contest, which is not over, land with me as CSD President I intend to follow through on every word of what I said I was going to do.

You're welcome to stay in the CSD or start a new party, but please stop insulting the membership. Frankly, I'm surprised you could managed to type "unity" in your platform. You certainly don't seem to comprehend what it means now.

Well either way, Cleo will keep CSD as CSD (using the new logo!), so I believe CSD will not die with her. Besides, a party is much much more than just it's leader. You guys are a team and I hope you can rally together to stop the Aggression Machine of Bruck.

HURRAH!

I am the CSD's greatest member. I voted TR BTW.

"You guys are fools, you're all stupid if you voted for Cleo."

For exercising my democratic right to vote I am a fool..I am stupid?

"I am quite possibly the MOST Socially Democratic Canadian."

I sincerely doubt that.

"It should be hard to see that I'm a better suited candidate then she is"

It was hard to see that why you did not get my vote and after seeing your rant and false accusations it is clear that you do not have the right qualities to lead anything, passion alone will not make a leader.

Thus making me the greatest!

HEY! If it weren't for "the Aggression Machine of Bruck", we'd all be speaking Hungarian right now!!

@ Jake
'For exercising my democratic right to vote I am a fool..I am stupid?'

No for choosing to vote for Cleo, You have the right to vote for who ever you want, As much as I have the right of speech.

As for the Most Socially democratic person I meant I'm the one who most spreads the CSD views in the IRC and forums.

'It was hard to see that why you did not get my vote and after seeing your rant and false accusations it is clear that you do not have the right qualities to lead anything, passion alone will not make a leader.'

My 'false' accusations have not yet been proven false, I may not have these 'Qualities' you speak of. But I'm quite sure being inactive isn't one of them.

And just a question for my own curiosity. What did Cleo platform have that you liked better then my platform?

And why can't you be more like The Doctor and see both sides of the card?

For those true Libertarians, especially those who are looking for change, I urge you to check out the Canadian Libertarian Party. Although I am sure this will mostly fall on deaf ears, we are small, but we are organizing, and we WILL grow into a top 5 party here to support congressional hopefuls. Check out our new messageboard, just opened today, the CLP will be an active party, and it will grow before your eyes, either with you, or without you.

Best of luck regardless of your future,

Why are you advertising libertarianism on an article about socialists?

Trenton,
Pretty much the reasons Girth outlined. Look, I very much want some of your ideas to be adopted by the CSD. I agree that we need to do more to make eCanada inviting to French Canadians, and I agree that we need to work better within this party, and with other parties.

I'm hoping that last jab Cleo took was just a slip, and we can all work together to build a stronger party. I'm hoping you'll both become people I can support unreservedly. But this petulance isn't presidential. Don't insult the electorate, and don't support accusations you can't back up.

Concede, or challenge, gracefully, and maybe next _month_ more of us will give you a chance.

Seems like something Dom would do.

😮 What would I do?

@ Senning
I'm only acting like this because this election the CSD had a chance to change everything. We had a chance to change from inactivity and carelessness to a stronger more united party.

If it helps think of it this way.
What if John Mccain won instead of Obama, How would the world think of the US.
It's exactly the same situation.

Wow, is this what I sounded like when I lost the presidential election.......?

Yes yes it did.

Trenton,
I don't quite buy your analogy, but think about it this way: How would Obama act if John McCain won?

Like I said, I like some of your ideas, and now they're on the table. Let's work together to make this party work the way we want it to work. Nobody's been elected president for life, and you don't have to be party president to change the party.

Senning
I'm just saying how I feel, and i'm all for working together though we can't do much when the Part President's is inactive.

Theres always another election

Exactly

Really too bad... yea just too bad.

Dominik,

According to the CSD page, the party is a Centre-Left Libertarin Party.

The CLP is a Centre-Right Libertarian Party.

I am sure there is a lot of shared ideas and beliefs in the "libertarian group" of your party, maybe not so much in the "Centre-Left" portion.

And as I said, not an advertisement, just an option.... Well, maybe a bit of an advertisement 😉

Let's start the NCSD...

New canadian social democrats!

Also we can make active check of our member and you go out if your inactive for too long, just like we work in the CAF.

The problem is (was) that the majority of eCanadians are not on the eCanada forum, and therefore would not have seen your thread, Trenton.

Pifreak I posted 6 articles explaining my platform throughout the week

Trenton,
I am a bit appalled at how you acted when faced your loss, but I accept your apology and hope to work with you, Cleo, and the other members of the CSD to rebuild the party with the common goal to defeat Bruck in the next Presidential election!

i personally received such an email and it was nice to receive one this election

As Girth stated above, Cleo actually took the effort to send out messages to all the members. Just like Girth said, I don't know much of eRepublik history and just take what is put infront of me. Cleo made a good argument as to why I should vote for her in her message. It worked, that's politics, that's democracy.

If all goes to hell this month than, like a rat jumping from a burning ship, I will either create a new party or join a diffrent one. You have one chance Cleo!

Cottus I would certainly stand behind you. I myself supported Trenton this election but apparently that wasn't enough. I agree this party has fallen far over the past period of time and i think we need another strong leader who's capable of putting the CSD back on the map!

You tell'em Cleo!

Seriously guys, she just MAKES AN EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE. That alone makes her an attractive choice!

Oh because I obviously don't make an effort, not with my 6 articles my visits to the forums and IRC, I obviously don't make an effort.
