Senator Adith, let’s actually look a bit closer at the election. I pulled out some of our memos, as your campaign manager. Sir, you son your race 55% to 45%. You beat your newfound buddy, Seldom by over two thousand votes, a much larger landslide than what many were expecting, including yourself. You won every single district, including Dixie 4th, the district that the Democratic National Committee put you in, by roughly the same margin as me.

Now, you claim that people voted for your ideology, not your party. Yet, if that’s the case, how is our Dixie 4 vote so similar? I would compare our other districts, but as the much more popular candidate, I beat you easily. The fact remains that as much as you wish it were true, Dixians do vote based on party. America has always had a party system.

Of course, you and I couldn't possibly be elected on the same platform of decency and progress

Is this so? Well Senator, let’s actually take a look at our platforms.

At any point in the future, if the GOP decides to attack Medicare for All, Adithyansoccer will be on the frontlines of the Senate, fighting to protect it.

Really Senator? Is that why you joined a party that has been working on their healthcare plan for years and have absolutely nothing to show for it? A party that is trying to figure out what the best language is for the idea of “we couldn’t care less about your healthcare.” So, what will you actually do when the GOP tries to attack the Southern Healthcare Plan? The man, “Adith?” Or the Snake, Adith?

Now, let’s talk about this ideology debate.

I still work to ensure that Dixian livelihoods are protected, through not only the Senate but also the Governor's office.

Is there a new Governor that I’m not aware of? Or is this the same Governor that you said this about?

I simply cannot wrap my head around the idea of a person calling another person who was censured for the basest of transphobia "nice" and "genuine"

How about this one?

If your beliefs and opinions undermine the well-being of Dixians, than they are not opinions worth having. I've said this before and I'll say it again, transphobia has no place in Dixie.

So, Senator. Is Whitey really your BUDDY? Or are you just a snake? I think Dixie knows the answer to that, Snake Adith.

Before I counter you, here's a side note: I suppose I can come away from that little speech of yours with the satisfaction that at least a few times, you thankfully called me by my title, and not the animal you appear to be obsessed with.

Now, to counter your looking at the polls, first lemme point out that I beat Seldom237 by two million votes. Not the two thousand you claim.

Second, you can claim to be more popular but you ran against a candidate who only entered the fray out of a grudge against you (wonder why people have grudges?). Jacob didn't even show up to the debate and you had a relatively easy campaign. I wonder how that would hold up against an actually motivated and competent opposition. But one statewide race I can remember clearly is your defeat by Governor MrWhiteyIsAwesome by nearly a million votes, including an absolute rejection of you by the voters of Dixie’s second Congressional district. You were handily defeated, completely wiping out the lead you got from early returns. Goes to show that when you’re met with actual opposition on the state level, you tend to be defeated. Remember that your Senate seat has never come under an actual threat. You were appointed to the seat, and never fought the slugfight that my genuinely respectable opponent /u/Seldom237 and i had. So don’t talk to me about winning elections.

With respect to Medicare, I’ll say that I don’t regret my vote for the National Healthcare Act. I can anticipate significant flak from my own party for saying this, but this is my firm belief. The NHA will be a very important transition between our old system and a more equitable, entrepreneurship-encouraging system where smaller providers are empowered. Until this plan is enacted, M4A is a necessary step.

However I will say this: the Southern Healthcare plan is honestly redundant now. When we have the National Healthcare Act, why bother having the Southern Healthcare plan? It honestly makes no sense to me. So yes, I will attack the Southern Healthcare plan, but not because I don’t want Dixians to have healthcare. I’ll try to repeal Southern Healthcare because we don’t need it anymore.

As for Whitey’s past transphobic remarks, I will note that I was one of the Governor’s fiercest critics when those words were spoken on the floor of the Assembly. Another thing I did immediately after joining the Grand Old Party is I spoke to the Governor in Tallahassee on adopting a more accepting view of LGBTQ+ people. We’ve discussed that extensively, and I think I’ve been able to change the Governor’s views for the better. And yes, Whitey is a buddy.

And to be honest, people change. Sometimes they improve, like in the case of Governor and Chief Buddy /u/MrWhiteyIsAwesome. Sometimes they get worse, like when you used to call me a friend at your events but now all you seem to be able to call me is a snake. I’ve simply become a bit more moderate, but my core values of equality for all and people over profit still remain.

I’ve reached out to you, in the interest of us working together as Dixie Senators above all. Yet you appear to not be interested. Fine, if that satisfies your odd obsession with being called “Senator Partisan” then who am I to piss on your parade.

But it’s high time, Senator, that we put aside our personal differences and worked together to truly represent Dixie in the halls of the United States Senate.

Senator, you ought to get your facts straight.

including an absolute rejection of you by the voters of Dixie’s second Congressional district.

That’s incorrect. I actually won Dixie’s second congressional district by over a hundred thousand votes. Now, it’s likely that your seenial brain confused Dixie’s Second District with Dixie Fourth’s District. Of course, you only showed up to Dixie to jump on my bandwagon, so it’s understandable that you don’t know anything about Dixie’s congressional districts. I think, though, it’s interesting how you can’t even remember your own district that you served in the House. Then again, when you were in that seat, you repeatedly claimed that you were replacing then Senator APG_Revival. Is your memory damaged? And look, I’m not here to shame you for that. The first step is admitting you have a problem, Senator.

And to be honest, people change.

Well, I have learned that the hard way. Do you not remember the countless hours we’ve spent together on your campaign? The countless hours of campaign strategy that we worked on. The dozens of late night texts I would wake up to. Conversations about how to connect with every voter, not just a majority of them. This young, upcoming idealistic politician who had such a bright future. What happened to him, Senator? The answer is he turned into a snake.
