I want that to gain traction, and for e-girls to unionise and become a stronger political force than Christian groups.

Im not saying it would necessarily be good, I just want to see it happen. This timeliness anythings possible.

Have you ever doubted?

I'd trust meth addled homeless guys who don't speak the local language as long as they're not religious

Most egirls would be better at being world leaders tbh

Fewer kids would get raped. Coaches would still happen.

Mary Carey for California 2003.

When then Gray Davis was being recalled she threw her hat into the ring. ̶U̶̶n̶̶s̶̶u̶̶̶c̶̶e̶̶s̶̶s̶̶f̶̶u̶̶l̶ She dropped out, but her effort set a modern-day open door for any celebrity to enter the politics arena. This solidified Arnold Schwarzenegger's later win.

edit- clarification

She dropped out of the race in October 2006 to care for her mother, who had jumped off a building while off her medications.

As happens

For real we have much crazier shit already, give us mobilised unionised egirls

Remember that time we elected a bisexual pro wrestling champion because we liked his hat?

So basically you're saying that we need a slightly less cybernetically augmented, real world version of the Moxes.

... I mean, yeah, syndicalism is overdue for a comeback, as real world rapidly cyberpunkifies.

Only if they join forces with the gambling clan, then can they amass enough political & financial clout. Maybe Internet cat video lovers as well.
