1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Isn't this the content from the campaign manifesto that we just finalized and haven't had time to officially release yet?

Although there are some minor differences in the details, the general outline is pretty much the same! Leaked...leaked?

damn it!

Which link went wrong?

No, it couldn't be called a leak, because some information had been leaked a long time ago, but it was only because of strong opposition that it was forced to be almost completely restrained;

However, even so, logically speaking, no one should have thought of such a radical policy, let alone announced it so quickly!

Because the whole set of measures they proposed has not formed a general consensus even within the Democratic Party, and the opposition outside the party is even greater!

There are three reasons.

1. Intent on interfering with market freedom and undermining the U.S. free market economic model, allowing the government to intervene heavily in the economy and spark dissatisfaction among capitalists and liberals;

2. The intention to centralize federal power is incompatible with the traditional laissez-faire system of the United States, eroding the power of states and departments, and causing dissatisfaction among local and departmental powerful groups in each state;

3. The intention is to expand the government fiscal deficit, which will create huge risks for the US government and economy in the future, leading to problems such as inflation and a falling exchange rate, pushing the US towards socialism and sparking dissatisfaction among conservatives.

So why did New York Governor Roosevelt insist on emphasizing this campaign platform internally and actually intend to implement it, even though he knew it would cause so much dissatisfaction?

That’s because a considerable number of knowledgeable people in the United States, including even capitalists, have already recognized a problem:

The United States and capitalism have reached their end. The traditional strategy of "less regulation is better regulation" can no longer be regarded as the golden rule!

If capitalism doesn't change, it will really be just like what that damned Jew named Ma said, and it will be completely destroyed!

This is not an exaggeration; it reflects the views of a considerable number of American elites and the ruling elites in the world's political arena.

Especially after a superpower far away in Asia and Europe shocked the whole world with things like "Five-Year Plan" and "Ten-Year Plan", and all capitalist countries faced a devastating depression.

The elites are all reflecting on why capitalism has become such a mess, and why socialist countries, which are often criticized as dogs, have achieved such success.

Don't think today's political elites are the same fools as those of later generations. They are quite capable of reflecting on their mistakes and making adjustments. That's why capitalists study "Das Kapital," and more and more people are realizing one thing:

"If the workers are killed, the capitalists will be dead soon..."

For example, Roosevelt, the elder of the current Roosevelt, was the president who challenged the big American capital groups—the Big Three railroads, the oil tycoons, and United Fruit—and proposed anti-monopoly plans.

It was precisely because of the above reasons that Roosevelt confidently came up with his "New Deal", intending to unify the consensus within the party and run for the next president.

Incidentally, President Hoover's "excellence" in getting along well with veterans was also one of Roosevelt's greatest sources of confidence.

After all, the proverb "Mellon blows the whistle, Hoover sounds the death knell, New York begins the charge, and America sinks into darkness" was not coined by Hoover's political opponents.

As a result, before Roosevelt could even deliver his New Deal speech (he had been lobbying everywhere and dealing with Hoover for some time), someone intercepted him...

Now, Roosevelt's team was completely passive.

Following Springfield's lead with the exact same slogan?

That is pure plagiarism and will definitely be criticized to death;

Moreover, we cannot bring it up so blatantly now, otherwise we will be opposed by bigwigs across the country just like before.

Come up with a different slogan?

Do you think it's so easy to come up with a campaign platform?

All the preparatory work in the early stages was carried out based on the original program. It's too late to come up with a new one now!

Just modify the Springfield one a bit and use it?

At this point, Ms. Haruta's speech seems perfect;

If I change it again, the best result will only be icing on the cake or even have side effects. Damn it, how could such a woman suddenly appear!

Who is behind her?

Compared to the panic of his staff, Roosevelt himself seemed quite calm. He listened to Springfield's speech with great interest, commenting or expressing admiration from time to time:

“Oh, this is almost exactly what I was thinking…” “That’s a good idea, I’ll write it down…”

"Well, well... this person's literary talent..."

"The radio has excellent clarity. Which company is it from? I'll check later."

"Ms. Springfield... you can invite her to join our team in the future..."

Why was Roosevelt so calm and even admired his rival, whose political spectrum (on the surface) was very similar to his own?

1. Springfield's initiative in proposing such a campaign platform did put him in a passive position, but at the same time, it also greatly dispersed the pressure Roosevelt might face, giving him more room to adjust policies based on feedback.

In fact, when Roosevelt first proposed the initial concept of the New Deal in history, especially after he became president and actually began to implement it, he was directly scolded by public opinion.

Labels like "Red President," "Communist Agent," "Traitor to his class," and "Asshole who violated the U.S. Constitution" followed one after another;

So, now that Haruta has spoken first, all eyes will be on her, and she will bear all the blame.

The one who runs the fastest is not necessarily the one who runs last.

(Note: Roosevelt initially made some of his policies public, but was met with fierce criticism and even life-threatening consequences. He then pretended to be a "moderate" and only "showed his fangs" after becoming president.)

2. Springfield's being a woman inherently precluded her from being elected president. While the United States' founding slogans of "equality for all, a free world" and the like are often dismissed, the very concept of "all" in Monotheism raises serious questions.

First, let's define what a "person" is... Apparently, at least in the political arena, women are not considered "persons." What?

There's a congresswoman? Oh, then?

She still has to take her husband's surname after marriage and still help him iron his shirts.

Therefore, Springfield's gender immediately blocked her political path, resulting in her being able to be a mascot-like congressman at best.

3. Springfield has created its own "God's People Party," which is not affiliated with either the Democratic or Republican parties, and is not even an "affiliate party" of either party.

Even though the US has so many political parties, big and small, and even the Communist Party of the United States is temporarily legal, the only people who can actually elect a president are those from the Donald Trump and the Election Commission.

To put it bluntly, there is actually only one political party in the United States, and that is the capitalist party, and all presidents are just spokesmen for capitalism.

Who becomes president and who does not, although there may be some accidents or mistakes in the actual election, it will not make much difference in essence.

And what about Springfield?

A "God's People's Party" that has just been established and has only one member, her? Hahahaha... Stop dreaming.

Can she really handle everything by herself? First ask the governors of each state whether they will accept it! 4. Springfield is a "political novice."

Although everyone is confused about Springfield's background, there is one thing that everyone is very clear about:

She has absolutely never held any public office in any political party, any state, or even any city or community. She is a complete newcomer who has absolutely no demonstrated governance ability or political skills.

This question is very similar to the third one, but there are actually some differences. For example, Franklin Roosevelt's elder, Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.

He was originally a Republican, but because of some ideological and interest issues, he left the Republican Party and founded the National Progressive Party (also known as the Bull Moose Party) to participate in the US presidential election.

Although he does not belong to either party, because he was once the vice president and had a very rich political experience, even though he is a small party and has offended the Republican Party, he still obtained a considerable number of votes.

Did you see that?

The uncle of the local tyrant Roosevelt was the governor, vice president, and president of New York State, so Roosevelt was qualified to be the governor and president of New York State.

The saying "Like father, like mother" is not only valid in China. Countries like Britain and the United States are at the pinnacle of "bloodline theory."

Although public intellectuals on the Internet often write articles such as "Introduction to the careers of all past US presidents: Why most of them have no political experience but can still become president?" to brag about the so-called "commoners becoming presidents" in the United States, history will not change because of bragging.

Otherwise, please look at the young Harrison, the young Roosevelt, the young Adams, the young MacArthur, and the future young Bush, young Kennedy, and young Carter...

If all else fails, a negative example is Curtis, Hoover's extremely unlucky vice president.

So, a woman from Springfield who leans to the left, has no political experience, isn't a Democrat or Republican, and certainly isn't the daughter of a government official, wants to be president?

She even missed all the previous presidential campaign processes and still wants to be president?

dream!

However, two days later, Roosevelt received data from the team regarding the telephone poll:

“What? A 10% drop? ?”

269 ​​A Dimensionality Reduction Attack Beyond the Times

Putting aside the factors mentioned above, neither Roosevelt nor other presidential candidates took Springfield, the woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seriously at all.

Again, even if we put aside all the problems mentioned in the previous chapter, Springfield showed up too late to run for president!

A brief introduction for those who don't know much about the US electoral system:

From the spring of the year before the election to the summer of the election year, candidates need to register their presidential campaign with the Federal Election Commission, announce their intention to run, hold primaries and primary debates, and so on...

It's already June, and according to normal procedures, it should be time for each state and party to hold primaries and officially nominate their candidates. But what about Springfield?

She just announced her candidacy for president!

From a procedural point of view, this is not "legal"!

Well, although there are not so many rules in the US presidential election these days, and they are actually all ordinary "conventions", it is indeed too late to announce your candidacy at this time.

Incidentally, the provision in the U.S. Constitution regarding presidential candidates: "No person shall be elected President who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and shall not have been a resident of the United States fourteen years," is actually not binding.

First of all, even in the United States of later times, it is not very difficult to falsify one's resume, let alone now when even the CIA and FBI don't have the original version of the green card?

(The United States only introduced the Nationality Act in 1940 and began issuing green cards in 1945, but there is still no unified ID card system for residents of the United States, which is very similar to the daily life)

Even if Haruta announced that she was 35 years old, no one would be able to disprove it - it is really easy to fake it for a human doll.

Secondly, based on past experience, there is no point in falsifying information such as age and place of residence for the purpose of presidential election.

Because if you weren't born here, you're not of a certain age, and you don't have the support of the bigwigs in the Democratic or Republican parties, how can you run for president?

Finally, there is no precedent for such resume falsification in history (because they are basically all descendants of bigwigs), so no one would think about it...

Even if Springfield claims she is 35, even if she skips all the previous procedures, even if she really starts running for president, what then?

It is just to add an interesting topic of conversation and record to everyone's monotonous, dull and boring wealthy life and America's not-so-rich history.

So, at the beginning, politicians with a bit of experience all took the attitude of "Ah, there's a little girl trying to make trouble" as they looked at it:

Ignorance is fearless?

Clowns attract attention?

The master's mission? (Ah, I guessed right)

In short, even though Springfield's policies were extremely "leftist," extremely "socialist," and even claimed to be about a "war on capitalists," no one took them seriously;

These days, even the Communist Party has been legalized, and people all over the world are shouting about hanging capitalists. Who cares about a mere woman?

On the contrary, what everyone paid the most attention to was the legendary woman's stunning beauty.

According to the telegrams sent back by people who have seen it, almost all of them used the word "amazing" or even "godness".

How beautiful she must be to be praised like this...

However, a few days later, when a series of poll results came out one after another, almost no one among the candidates, including Roosevelt, paid attention to whether Springfield was good-looking.

They're a little square. Something's wrong!

Why are our poll numbers plummeting? Why are voters saying they want to vote for Springfield?

Everyone couldn't help but panic.

Except for a few presidents such as Truman and Trump, polls published by major American newspapers and magazines have always been quite accurate, with almost no difference from the final election results.

Besides, it's one thing for others to see their approval ratings drop, but why is Roosevelt's approval rating, the favorite, also dropping?

You have to know that this man has been presenting himself as a "progressive" since 1910, and as early as 1930, he used government intervention to relatively effectively curb the impact of the Great Depression in New York State;

Combined with his family background, education, political skills, and other factors, by 1932, his chances of success were not 100%, but his advantages were indeed very large;

Even if President Hoover had not been hanged from the flagpole, and even if Roosevelt had faced opposition from capital forces led by DuPont and General Motors, his rise to power would have been almost unstoppable.

However, his approval rating is also plummeting, not much slower than others.

Could it be that the woman named Springfield has some unique charm that can seduce the people?

Could it be that "godness", "Valkyrie", and "SSF" really are something like this?

Otherwise, how to explain this change!

No one could understand it and only felt it was incredible. Some superstitious conservatives even really considered the possibility that Chuntian was a saint sent by God.

Honestly, it's not their fault for figuring out the reason.

Forget about them. Trump has been in power for a year now, and haven't those Democratic Party elites figured out the logic behind his success?
