Blackstone Code

While the Duncan family was at war with the current federal government, Mr. Trueman's personal campaign office was quietly established.

In fact, every presidential election, each party will not only introduce one person to participate in the election, they may introduce two, three, or four or five.

Except for the core candidates, everyone else is a companion.

Does running with you have no effect?

No, this idea is wrong.

Running accompaniment is still very useful, because it can provide voters with more choices.

For example, some voters neither like the core candidates of the Progressive Party nor the core candidates of the Conservative Party. If there are no other more roles, they may abstain from voting or fill in the blanks casually.

After all, some companies offer small rewards to employees who successfully deliver ballots to encourage people to vote.

Of course, these are not the good intentions of companies, but that they need to provide more "ammunition" to the forces they support.

Some people don’t like the two core candidates, so what will happen if there is an extra candidate at this time?

Maybe there will be something he likes, maybe there won't be.

If it is the former, this ticket has an obvious political stance...

For example, the Progressive Party Committee decided on three people to accompany the runners this year, including an actor, a lawyer, and a teacher.

When people vote for these people because they don't like other people, their votes are regarded as "partisan votes."

To put it simply, voters vote for candidates with the same political stance. When these running candidates gradually fall behind and are eliminated in the competition, they will vote out of emotion or other reasons. Give to other candidates you don’t like but who also belong to the same political camp.

These runners will also say this. If they lose the "race" in the stage competition, they will publicly express their hope that everyone can continue to support a certain candidate belonging to the same party, saying that this is a spiritual inheritance. .

This is why even though many people know very well that accompanying runners will not make it to the end, parties still push these people to participate in the election during the general election.

They need to use their power more broadly to cater to the people's preferences, and finally transfer all power to those who need it to win victory in one fell swoop.

Of course, these accompanying runners will not actually receive too much resource tilt. After all, their tasks are staged, and they will not be dissatisfied if they lose.

In particular, some people who do not belong to the core political circle are proud to be accompanying runners. There are also some people who are willing to participate in accompanying runners at their own expense, such as big celebrities.

This can effectively expand their influence and at the same time gain the friendship of a party, which is a very cost-effective thing.

In the eyes of many, Mr. Trueman may also be a runner, although it was not him or his campaign office who made the announcement, but the Progressive Party Committee.

There are still many people who are not very optimistic about Mr. Trueman. He has too many shadows of the current president. When the president announces his resignation or announces that he will not seek re-election, it will also have an impact on Mr. Trueman's campaign.

There are also some of his friends in the Progressive Party who think he can leave the campaign until eight years later

Because Mr. President has not been re-elected, once the Progressive Party candidate successfully wins the election, he will definitely seek re-election to the maximum extent possible.

Even if the president does not perform well, the Progressive Party will ensure that he can be re-elected, which is related to the development of the party.

But Mr. Trueman ultimately decided to take Lynch's advice and run directly.

The campaign office is in the administrative center not far from the Presidential Palace, and people divide Bupen into three districts.

Administrative center, financial center and commercial center, this is not an official definition, but a spontaneous behavior of people, and the three most representative streets have been selected to represent the three centers.

At this time in the brand new office, Mr. Trueman's mood was very subtle.

At least in his own perception, he shouldn't have been so quick, or he never thought that he would have such an opportunity to run for that position.

So this feeling is amazing!

He patted the chairs in the living room. Lynch was solely responsible for the arrangement, including furniture and decoration.

It didn't look very luxurious here, but the white walls were very conspicuous. Mr. Trueman walked over, touched the wall, and showed some surprise, "Is this...paper?"

He turned to look at Lynch. He originally thought it was paint, white cement, lime, or something else, but he didn't expect that the wall was actually paper.

He had never heard of white wallpaper. Lynch smiled and patted the wall, "There are ten floors in total. Sometimes we need to record something casually. Inspiration always comes so quickly, but it leaves quickly." It’s also very fast.”

"We should not waste the inspiration God has given us, so...", he smiled, "These can be written and drawn, and then we will organize them in a unified way."

"And we don't accept other people here, so it doesn't matter what the decoration style is."

Mr. Trueman nodded. "That's very good. What's that word?"

As the two men continued to tour the campaign office, Mr. Lynch used the word pragmatism Mr. Trueman intended.

A new trend of thought is being born in society. This trend of thought is still very weak and has just sprouted.

After experiencing the Great Depression and the two parties taking power alternately, people began to reflect.

The result of reflection is the explosion of various ideas. Among the many ideas, one is quietly growing, and this is pragmatism!

What is pragmatism?

In fact, to put it simply and popularly, it means that when we do something, what benefits can it bring to us.

If it brings enough benefit, then we'll do it.

If it doesn’t bring enough benefits, or if there are no benefits at all, we won’t do it.

Of course, there are many different ideas in pragmatism. There are blind optimists, which embodies the spiritual symbol of the Federation!

These people believe that as long as they do something, the outcome will be good in the future. Even if they don't think it's good enough now, the outcome may turn around when they finish doing it.

Some people point out that this is not a branch of pragmatism, but in fact it is. Although this kind of blind optimism seems stupid, its core has not changed, and that is "what good will it bring to me if I do it?" .

There is also a group called rationalists. They will come up with some data or other relatively rational things to analyze before doing anything to make sure that their ultimate interests will not change.

Some people also regard this kind of intellectual pragmatism as "selfish attention", because when these people look at the development of a thing, all the factors they refer to are "whether it is beneficial to themselves."

This is classic selfishness, but it is still an offshoot of pragmatism.

In addition, there are many factions, and they are constantly growing. Of course, some people believe that so-called pragmatism is not much different from capitalism, because they ultimately seek interests!

This is actually not entirely correct. Although both are highly utilitarian, there are enough differences.

People's understanding of pragmatism may be a little biased, but this is not important. What is important is that it already exists and is developing rapidly.

Next is the conference room, several small living rooms, a large toilet and some relatively private rooms.

According to research by some scholars and experts, sometimes being in the toilet or a small environment can help people's thinking ability.

There is also a fairly small kitchen and corresponding kitchen utensils. Sometimes everyone works overtime, and people don’t want to miss lunch or dinner. The most successful professions in Bupen are not those active in the financial center, but cook!

Maybe you can't use a stockbroker, but you can definitely interact with a cook.

After visiting the entire office, Mr. Trueman was very satisfied. He didn't like the too exaggerated medieval style. It was very good as it is now.

"Where are you going to find office members?", he looked at Lynch and asked.

Lynch was a little confused, "You should complete this matter yourself. You are the core of this team, not me."

Mr. Trueman shook his head slightly, "I must have a lot of things to do recently, so you have to help me share some of the burden, for example..." He looked around, looked around the house, and finally returned to On Lynch, "...the head of the campaign office!"

This is a very important position. It can be said that Mr. Trueman's trust in Lynch at this time is complete and unreserved.

Campaign office manager... This position is often reserved for the core of certain campaign teams, and these people are either former senators, former presidents, or core members of some powerful political families.

Lynch had nothing to do with it. He did not hesitate to reject the job again, but instead mentioned some well-known campaign teams in the federation.

If you want to run successfully in the federal election, in addition to having enough money to operate, the most important thing is to have a strong enough campaign team.

There is a team in the federation that has helped seven presidents win the election, and Lynch is targeting them.

Of course, these people are not cheap either.

This team is almost exclusively composed of former senators, and their network of connections and influence in federal politics is unquestionable.

Invite them, at least it will cost more than four million, and give them maximum power, and all of this will be worth it.

Mr. Trueman hesitated after listening to Lynch's introduction, "Will this put a lot of financial pressure on you?"

He felt that just the expenses of the campaign team accounted for so much money. Once it was really fully rolled out, the expenses might be horribly high.

After all, he is still a "newbie"!
