[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]Our hopes that the forum-frequenting elites are detached from the situation on the ground and that the silent majority has different priorities entirely have just been dashed. The situation is just as the polls predicted, and Sinning Jenny is well on her way to becoming the next mayor of London. [/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]This, I hope you agree, is terrible. All of you who support Bishop or Contrarian surely agree that Sinning Jenny must not win, because reasons. New discoveries may sway some voters away from Jenny, but I wouldn’t count on it. Our only hope, then, is to form an anti-Jenny voting bloc, united behind either The Contrarian or The Bishop. I’m not sure if that’s something people are even interested in, hence the poll. [/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]The options should be mostly self explanatory, but just to be clear, this is what they mean:[/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]The first and second options mean you’re determined to stop Jenny from getting elected, and you would be willing to unite behind the other non-Jenny candidate if that’s what the anti-Jenny bloc decides.[/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]The third and fourth options mean that you are not going to switch to the other non-Jenny candidate, either because you consider both choices that aren’t your candidate equally bad or because it’s your vote, damn it, and you’re going to cast it for the candidate you believe in even it if achieves nothing.[/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]The fifth and sixth options are for people who would rather see Jenny win if their own candidate fails, so they’re obviously not going to join an anti-Jenny voting bloc.[/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]The seventh option is for terrible people and should not be chosen. [/color]
[color=rgb(194, 194, 194)]This isn’t the place to debate the faults and merits of Sinning Jenny as a candidate. There are other threads for that. This is a place for those not voting for her to decide if and how we should coordinate our actions . Personally, I would very much like to see the candidate that seemed from the beginning as the sure winner fail, but there’s a name for someone who takes the contrary position and I’m voting for him so that’s not saying much. So…Can we do this? Should we do this? Does anyone even want to? Discuss.[/color]
