Subj : a new rule.. To : AUGUST ABOLINS From : Rob Mccart Date : Sun Sep 07 2025 08:23:07 Hello August! RM> Apparently they have come up with a new rule.. To be RM> considered to run for party leader you need 500 party RM> member votes.. BUT.. If it turns out that more than 50% of RM> those who voted for you are CIS Males, then you won't be RM> accepted. AA>Huh.. there is now a distinction between "a male who accepts >their gender assigned at birth", and a hetro? No, I'm sure the idea is if you are born male and stayed that way they don't want too many of them backing a candidate. AA>Maybe the consideration is that a cismale is not necessarily >hetro. But.. what should that matter in a political election? No, I'm sure they want to be sure that more than 50% of the voters are not straight men. That leaves a lot of room since all women would fit into the other half too but the idea must be that if few women or LGBQ+ people want to vote for a person then they are probably not open minded enough to run the Party.. Some people lean so far Left, they fall off the edge.. B) --- * SLMR Rob * Stepping off the soapbox now.. and taking it with me * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
