Chapter 118: Campaigning
"Diccol Ovid, Wilk Howden and James Bongbon. Although these three men are not well-known among political advisers, they have also elected more than double-digit governors and senators in their careers, and none of them have a clear position, no matter what your ideas are, they will not refuse. Avanti mentioned a few people to Grayson: "Not only that, but most of the governors they elected and senators are indeed in swing states now, so they ......"
The words were not finished, but they made Grayson's eyes light up.
The U.S. political electoral political system can be considered a winner-takes-all. In terms of the unit of a state, which state has the highest vote, then the votes of the entire state will be counted on that elector, just like Texas, 49.9 percent of the votes of A, 50.1 percent of the votes of B, but as long as B has more votes in Texas than A. Then it can be counted as B getting 100% of the vote from Texas.
"Also, the first suggestion is that after the election convention is held, other candidates of the same party will be suppressed."
"Suppression? Grayson was a little confused, although politics was brutal everywhere. But after becoming the first candidate, no matter what you say on the surface, you have to maintain a kind and bright image. Isn't it?
"Don't forget, this time is different." Touching his beard, Avanti continued to speak: "This is a warning to the investors behind you. After all, there are many wealthy people who invest in two or more of them. ”
Political cash, a unique political and economic model for Westerners. It can be said that it is a bribe in this way. This is a unique way to bet on the US election, and the big rich behind the politicians are not much of a savior. They invested in politicians and rightfully demanded returns.
From the perspective of investment, making yourself foolproof and winning is what an excellent businessman should do. Although it increases the cost, it ensures that the revenue is not lost due to the failure of the election. This is a method that borders on cheating, but it is not uncommon to see money in elections called political donations, which are actually bribes.
"Times have changed." Avanti spoke to Grayson, "Before, our dimensional forces may have been hidden in the shadows, because we can be self-sufficient. But most of us were devastated by a previous upheaval. Therefore, it must be normal for more and more dimensional forces to choose to appear in the future. What's more, Pepper has awakened the power of the unicorn. The most chaotic times are coming. Even you know that. So compare your heart to your heart, in such a chaotic time, will you choose a president who is ridiculed by all sides, or choose a president who behaves very tough and resolute! ”
"I see." Comparing hearts to hearts, there is no way for the president to be weak and gain benefits from the game with other dimensions. If it were him, he would also choose a smart and strong one. Instead of choosing one that compromises everywhere. After all, the latter can be regarded as stable in times of peace, but in turbulent times, this can be called grievances.
"What you have to do after that is to reach out to your good friends in Congress and listen to their suggestions on the issue at hand!" Avanti continued: "Except for the fact that you don't need to change your strength against mutants, everything else should be properly softened. Find the point of view that best caters to most of them. In this way, the interest groups behind them will not be too public. ”
In Congress, there are interest groups for almost every topic discussed. Some politicians who have extensive connections in the government will almost use their connections to influence their relationships. to achieve their own political ends.
After all, as long as you are human, you will have your own life circle and will be influenced by other people. The United States is a politically sensitive country, and everyone from financial and political scientists to ordinary people like to talk about politics. Therefore, this kind of atmosphere makes political views noble and normal.
"Even when necessary, even when it's a matter of dealing with mutants. You can also slow it down a bit. After all, the Antarctic turmoil a month ago has changed the general public's opinion of mutants a lot. Even now, the video of Antarctic Adventure has a high hits on YouTube. ”
It's been a month since the Antarctic adventures of the previous Raven streamers, and in the past month, a topic that has been very dazzling is the issue of discrimination against mutants.
Many people who watched the live broadcast changed their minds about mutants after seeing Duke and Victor, two mutants, and risking their lives to rescue the others. Even the X-Men, who later fought Washington and Digimon, were reported through the ubiquitous network.
Unlike the Cold War and the Apocalypse Recovery, the Internet was extremely underdeveloped. In today's era, the Internet is sufficiently developed that people can get enough information without leaving their homes. And when the government can't intercept it, it's even faster. So now being very tough on mutants may still be a very big obstacle on the way to Grayson's election of president!
"It can't be!" Hearing Avanti's words, Grayson replied without hesitation: "What is my identity, I believe you also understand, the political leader of the Friends of the People to promote and live in harmony with mutants?" It's just a joke! ”
"But otherwise, I can't keep what some extreme mutants will do!" Avanti spread his hands: "Although you now have the identity of an elector, it seems to be a layer of protection, and the mutants may have reined in due to the recent sudden easing of the environment, but after a long time, the turmoil has passed, and it is impossible to say." ”
Speaking of this, there was a pause: "And, don't forget what is the main purpose of your candidacy for president." Don't think your own situation can be contained. Not to mention that the people of the Hunters' Association are free to do whatever they want. Let's just talk about what kind of undisciplined Sasha is, you should also have an idea. If he can introduce you to me, he will be able to sell your news to the whole sex. ”
Grayson's face changed, but he still spoke: "It's okay, I'll contact Ms. Nikonov right away to sign a confidentiality clause." I believe in the professional attitude of a trade hunter. ”
"That's good!" Seeing Grayson's reaction, Avanti nodded: "But it's not enough." ”
Seeing his puzzled look, Avanti said slowly.
"You don't know yet, the Chenlong in your mouth is the one with the highest status among our twelve earthly branches, and he is also a member of the whole nature! Maybe he's having a meeting with the rest of the whole world right now to discuss you. ”
