America is on the better path, and what we can do to make sure it stays that way.

Well, DU was founded in 2000, and this takes place in 2035, right? I first discovered this site in 2010 so it'd be the 25th year that I really knew about this place.

Obviously these were AIs. Sadly the American sim-person didn't survive, as his solar batteries ran down quickly and couldn't be recharged. Apparently his specs were not properly converted to the metric system.

Like, totally, flarf! He totally like sabotaged the '28 convention with his rant about President Lauper's skirt lengths. Dude, if you can't handle a post-op trannie turned cross-dresser rocking a little taffeta at an official state tanning session with the King of Western Venezuela, why don't you just move back to Dixie where you belong? Now they're bringing him back for another keynote? Jeeze, they must really need the ad revenues.

I hear only 16 networks plan to even etherstream their convention next year. Third party movements never work out. But at least they'll peel off enough votes from the Libs to ensure another four years for Bieber.
