Blackstone Code Chapter 1436: Run for office
Remember【】for a second,!
At a time when the Duncan family was "at war" with the current federal government, Mr. Trueman's personal campaign office was quietly established.
In fact, every presidential election, each party will not only introduce a certain person to participate in the election, they may introduce two or three, or four or five.
In addition to the core candidates, everyone else is running.
Would it be useless to accompany running?
No, that idea is wrong.
The **** is still useful because it gives voters more options.
For example, some voters don't like the core candidate of the Progressive Party or the core candidate of the Conservative Party. If there are no other more roles, he may abstain, or just fill in random.
After all, some companies have small incentives for employees who successfully submit their votes to encourage people to vote.
Of course, these are not how well-intentioned companies are, but they need to provide more "ammunition" to the forces they support.
Someone doesn't like the two core candidates, so what if there is an extra candidate at this time?
Maybe he likes it, maybe not.
If it's the former, the ticket has a clear political stance. .
For example, the Progressive Party Committee decided to have three runners this year, including actors, lawyers, and teachers.
When people vote for other people because they don't like them, their votes are considered "partisan votes."
Simply put, voters cast their votes for candidates with the same political stance. When these accompanying candidates gradually fall behind and are eliminated in the competition unit, then for emotional or other reasons, they will Vote for other candidates who you don't like, but also belong to the same political camp.
These runners will also say the same thing. If they lose the "race" in the staged competition, they will publicly express the hope that everyone can continue to support the so-and-so candidate who belongs to the same party, saying that this is a kind of Spiritual inheritance.
This is also the reason why, even though many people know very well that accompany runners will not run to the end, the party will introduce these people to participate in the election during the general election.
They need a wider range of power in their hands to cater to the preferences of the people, and finally transfer all power to those who need it, and win the victory in one fell swoop.
Of course, these runners won't actually get too much resource tilt. After all, their tasks are staged, and they won't be dissatisfied if they lose.
Especially like some people who don't belong to the core political circle, they are proud to be runners, and some people are willing to participate in the runners at their own expense, such as big stars.
This is a great way to expand their influence, while also gaining a partisan friendship, which is a good deal.
In the eyes of many, Mr. Trueman may also be a runner, although the announcement was not made by himself or his campaign office, but by the Progressive Party committee.
There are still many people who are not very optimistic about Mr. Truman. He has too many shadows of the current Mr. President. When the president announces his resignation or announces that he will not continue to seek re-election, it will also affect Mr. Truman's election.
There are some of his friends in the Progressive Party who think he can keep the campaign in eight years-
Because Mr. President is not re-elected, once the Progressive Party candidate wins the election, he will certainly seek re-election to the maximum extent possible.
Even if the president does not perform well, the Progressive Party will ensure that he will be re-elected, and it is about the development of the party.
But Mr. Trueman ultimately decided, on Lynch's advice, to run directly.
The campaign office is located in the administrative center not too far from the presidential palace, and people divide Bupen into three districts.
Administrative center, financial center and business center, this is not an official definition, but people's spontaneous behavior, and the three most representative streets are selected to represent the three centers.
At this time in the brand new office, Mr. Trueman's mood is very delicate.
At least in his own perception, he shouldn't have been so quick, or never thought he would have such an opportunity to run for that position.
So the feeling is amazing!
He patted the chairs in the living room, which Lynch was solely responsible for arranging, including furniture and decoration.
It doesn't look very luxurious here, but the white walls are very conspicuous. Mr. Truman walked over, touched the wall, and showed some surprised expressions, "This is... paper?"
He turned to look at Lynch, he thought it was paint or white cement, or lime, or something, but he didn't expect that the wall was actually paper.
He had never heard of white wallpaper, and Lynch patted the wall with a smile, "There are ten floors, and sometimes we need to record something, inspiration always comes so fast, But it went very fast."
"We shouldn't waste the inspiration that God gave us, so...", he smiled, "These can be written and drawn, and then we will organize them together."
"And there are no other people here, so it doesn't matter the style of the decoration."
Mr. Trueman nodded, "That's great, what's that word for?"
The two continued to tour the campaign office, while Lynch uttered the word Mr. Truman wanted—pragmatism.
A new trend of thought is being born in society, which is still very weak and has only just begun to emerge.
After the Great Depression and the alternation of the two parties in power, people began to reflect.
The consequence of reflection is the burst of various ideas. Among the many ideas, there is one that is quietly growing, which is pragmatism!
What is pragmatism?
In fact, to put it simply and popularly, it is when we do something, what benefits can it bring us.
If there are enough benefits, then we will do it.
We won't do it if the benefits aren't enough, or if there's no benefit at all.
Of course, there are still many different ideas in pragmatism, and there are blind optimists - which reflects the spiritual symbol of the Federation!
These people think that as long as they do it, the future will be good, even if it is not good enough now, when they are done, the ending may be better.
Some people have pointed out that this is not an offshoot of pragmatism, but in fact it is, and while this blind optimism may seem stupid, its core has not changed, which is "If I do what a benefit".
There is also a kind of rationalist, who will come up with some data or other relatively rational things to analyze before doing things to determine that their ultimate interests will not change.
Some people also regard this intellectual pragmatism as "selfish attention", because in the process of looking at the development of a thing, all reference factors are "whether it is beneficial to oneself".
This is classic selfishness, but it's still a branch of pragmatism.
In addition to this, there are many factions that are constantly growing. Of course, some people think that the so-called pragmatism is not much different from capitalism, because they are ultimately seeking profit!
It's not entirely true to say that, although both are highly utilitarian, there are enough differences.
Some people's cognition of pragmatism will be a little biased, but this is not important, the important thing is that it already exists and develops rapidly.
Next is the conference room, several small living rooms, a large toilet and some relatively private rooms.
According to the research of some scholars and experts, it is sometimes helpful to people's thinking ability in the toilet or in a small environment.
There is also a small kitchen and corresponding kitchen utensils. Sometimes people work overtime. People don't want to miss their lunch or dinner. The most successful careers in Bupen are not those who are active in financial centers. , but the cook!
Maybe you don't need a stockbroker, but you can definitely get along with the cook.
After walking through the office, Mr. Trueman is very satisfied. He doesn't like the too grandiose mid-century style. It's very good like this.
"Where are you going to find office members?", he asked while looking at Lynch.
Lynch was a little puzzled, "You should do this yourself. You are the core of the team, not me."
Mr. Truman shook his head slightly, "I'm sure I've had a lot of things to do recently, so you have to help me share some, such as..." He looked around, looked around the house, and finally Back to Lynch again, "...the head of the campaign office!"
This is a very important position. It can be said that Mr. Truman's trust in Lynch at this time is complete and has no reservations.
The head of the campaign office... This position is often reserved for the core of certain campaign teams, and these people are either former senators, former presidents, etc. ~IndoMTL.com~ or some powerful core members of the political family.
Lynch was not involved in this, he did not hesitate to reject the job again, but mentioned some of the more well-known campaign teams in the Commonwealth.
In order to succeed in the federal election, in addition to having enough money to operate, the most important thing is to have a strong enough campaign team.
There is a team in the Commonwealth that has helped seven presidents win elections, and Lynch is targeting them.
Of course, these people are not cheap.
Almost all former senators in this team have undeniable connections and influence in the federal political arena.
Please move them, let's not talk about the cost of more than 4 million, and give them the greatest power, and all this is worth it.
Mr. Truman hesitated after listening to Lynch's introduction, "Will there be a lot of financial pressure?"
He thinks that the cost of the campaign alone takes up so much money, and once it is fully rolled out, the cost may be terrifying.
After all, he's still a "novice"!
