and kept increasing my influence
well, i think there is an uncontested republican seat for the senate
a high powered dem will probably slide in
http://oppressive.games/power/corporations.php
also here
you can buy stocks
and fund your own campaign
http://oppressive.games/power/lobbies.php?nation=USA
or you could talk to interest groups here
im currently getting money from the agriculture and christian right interest groups
there are only two two other repubs here and one is running for the senate, and the other for the house, one dem is running for gov and the other for house
there is only one other dem available
the one who isnt running for anything is already in the senate
so he'll run for reelection
oh i see, so its better if i dont run to avoid a defeat?
ya
you wont get any penalty if you dont win an election but
i just prefer going in with a better chance
and a huge war chest
also they have a discord
is that specifically for the republican party in the game
ya
once you're in office i always chest the Whip channel
and he lays out what to vote for and against
i dont always follow the party line
but most of the basic stuff i vote for
how do interest groups work
http://oppressive.games/power/lobbies.php?nation=USA
find one you wanna represent
and get money from
to start do a "glad hand"
and if you support legislation that works in their favor
it'll increase their support for you
and give you more money
i currently rep agriculture and the christian right
the other ones seem 2 swampy 4 me
i get $599 from religious groups
and $565 from agriculture corporations
$2,777 from grass roots donations
