2021 Groupy McGroupface Presidential Election

**The 2021 Groupy McGroupface Presidential Election** was the seventh presidential election to take place within Groupy McGroupface (in canon), but only the fifth to be performed by group chat members. Incumbent President Josiah Bartlet was ineligible to run for re-election, meaning that this role-play led to a new president being chosen. Major candidates included Jim Hopper of the Detection Party, Keir Starmer of the Democratic Party, Thomas Jefferson of the Republican Party, Nekotaro Catman of the Cat Party, and Vince McMahon of the Libertarian Party. The election was the most tightly-contested election in Groupy McGroupface history, with no candidate being able to secure a majority of the votes within the first round. This subsequently led to a second round of voting, during which Jim Hopper beat Keir Starmer by a margin of 285 electoral college votes to 255 electoral college votes. Hopper was the first non-Democrat elected to the presidency in group chat history, and he was inaugurated into office in March 2020, alongside his running mate, Hank Schrader.

This election was also notable for the way in which it took place amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic. Shortly after the start of the election, Groupy McGroupface was hit by a deadly and contagious virus known as KANMUVID-21. The virus played an important role throughout the course of the election, and dominated certain areas of the campaign.

## Pre-Primaries

### The Spread of a Deadly Disease!

Before the Election RP officially began, Hugo S. Catman, following on from the end of The Squidy Bride, met with Judge Gen, Carmichael, Luce I. Furr, Shawn, Jesus, Buddha, William and Neil in order to discuss a way to add excitement into the RP universe, concluding that they should unleash a global pandemic. Travelling to The Bad Place by way of Charon, they met with Grub (torturing Jacob Rees-Mogg with help from Damon Gant and cameo appearances by Batte S. Casey and Figel Narage) who revealed that his corpse back in Penguin Club was a hive of potential deadly diseases. After obtaining the virus that would become Kanmuvid-21, Hugo then loaded it into a Bulgarian Umbrella before travelling to the Groupy McGroupface Festival of Independence in New Donk City, Redford to infect Patient Zero. As Mayor Pauline James led the majority of Groupy McGroupface characters in a big musical number, the virus begins to spread.

### Candidacy Announcements

After this point, numerous people began to announce their candidacies, such as Kanye West, Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer, Jack Robertson, Thomas Jefferson and others.

#### Death of the Donald

Before Donald Trump's candidacy for the Republican Party Primary could be officially announced, he died in a particularly comedic style whereupon he slipped on a banana peel, off of a balcony before being hit with a chandelier and an anvil that had been hanged in a particularly precarious position. Lord Squidy announced that a commemorative statue would be erected in Trump's memory, and that he would be replaced by Penguin Club Secretary of Defence Ted Cruz, who would run in his place.

### A virus detected!

After the virus was detected in several patients in New Donk City and other parts of Groupy McGroupface, the World Health Organisation director Dr. Donald Mallard and Unified Nations president Leila Malak, together with representatives from the governments of Groupy McGroupface, Penguin Club and the United Kingdom of Group Chats, a global pandemic was declared.

President Jed Bartlet announced immediate measures to try and combat the spread of Kanmuvid-21, including mandatory facemasks, the closure of non-essential businesses and schools, and strict adherence to social distancing.

Lord Squidy announced, via Twitter, that he would not be taking any measures whatsoever in order to combat Kanmuvid-21.

A few days after the virus began to spread in the UKGC, Prime Minister Bill Hawkes made a televised address to the nation to announce the immediate implementation of emergency measures in order to combat and control the virus, forbidding non-essential travel, instigation of social distancing rules and activating Operation: SEACOLE in order to prepare emergency hospitals in order to ensure extra bed space should the National Health Service become overwhelmed.

## Presidential Primaries - The Campaign

### Democratic Duel

As KANMUVID began to infect citizens at a more rapid pace, the Democratic Party debate was held in a socially distant manner. The masked candidates made their case to voters as economies began to suffer and deaths climbed. Cargo Shipping Governor Keir Starmer argued that President Bartlet's virus containment policies were inadequate in a stark contrast from other Democratic candidates, including Payton Hobart. After critiquing Bartlet's KANMUVID leadership, Starmer then argued that the Democratic Party as a whole needed to be taken in a new direction, pointing out the damaged reputation that came at the Democratic Party after the Underwood presidency two year prior. Hobart refuted this claim, arguing that Bartlet's presidency had been a resounding success. After a bitter debate, voters remained split.

### The Detection Party Debate

The Detection Party held a far more civil debate, with candidates Phryne Fisher and Jim Hopper agreeing on nearly every issue. However, Hopper argues that Fisher represents the old days of the Detection Party, and frames himself as the future of the party.

### KANMUVID Declines?

As the primaries ware on, it becomes clear that President Bartlet's mitigation measures have helped decline cases of KANMUVID within the group chat. However, the virus still takes of the lives of many individuals. Soon, it's announced to the public that both GCNN anchor Stohk Ihmage and Republican Party candidate Rishi Sunak have been taken ill with the virus.

### Hobart Accused

After a bitter debate, Payton Hobart's campaign faces another challenge as the candidate is accused of having two throuples in his lifetime. Hobart promptly denied the accusations, however, his political rivals quickly took the issue. Starmer immediately used the claims to argue Hobart had committed sexual harassment, which immediately sparked another feud between the two campaigns.

Meanwhile, Libertarian Party candidate Vince McMahon suggested, without evidence, that his rival Borgaret Thatcherson had been involved in one of the throuples. Hobart didn't respond to said allegation.

### The Cat Party Debate

Following Stohk Ihmage's KANMUVID diagnosis, controversial moderator Piers Morgan was tapped to replace him. Candidate Puss in Boots is accused of hiring a trained assassin, which he quickly deflects. However, he and Morgan then devolve into a debate amongst themselves, leaving the audience both stunned and exhausted.

### The Republican Party Debate

Facing yet another loss in the elections, the Republican Party faced a crowded field of hopefuls. Among them were rapper Kanye West and fast food magnate Jack Robertson. Both performances were initially panned, with Robertson suggesting he'd accept bribes from cabinet members and Kanye portraying himself as a sort of messiah, paving the way for more serious candidates to dominate the stage.

Concerns grow, however, when candidate Ted Cruz seemingly turns into the Zodiac Killer when asked a question. Boris Johnson, the party's previous candidate, takes fire from the likes of Thomas Jefferson, who argues a rehash of the previous year's election was a strategy destined for failure.

### The Libertarian Party Debate and the War of Newscasters

In typical Libertarian fashion, candidates make an utter embarrassment of themselves, causing even Piers Morgan to get frustrated at the idiocy. However, in a shocking display, previous moderator Stohk Ihmage entered the studio, causing a war between various different newscasters to break out on live television.

As journalists descend on the scene to battle on another, the candidates jumped in as the pandemonium ensued. Stunningly, Stohk Ihmage murdered Piers Morgan on live television and faced no charges whatsoever.

Vince McMahon, in dramatic fashion, used the likes of sportscasters Jim Nantz and Tony Romo to corner rival Joe Exotic. Before they can do so, however, local police enter the studio and break up the riot.

### Mahone Charges Exotic

After the mind-numbing Libertarian debate, FBI director Alex Mahone announces that the agency would be charging candidate Joe Exotic with a whopping 17 charges of animal abuse, as well as 2 counts of attempted murder for hire. In response, Exotic goes on a tweeting spree, accused Director Mahone of being "obsessed with him."

## Presidential Primaries - The Vote

### Kanmuvid Restrictions Lifted in Groupy McGroupface

President Bartlet announced that, as a result of the decline in KANMUVID cases, Grouupy McGroupface would be lifting most of the restrictions that had been in place one month prior. It was announced that most non-essential businesses could re-open, as well as schools. In addition to this, UBI was ended for those who could now go back to work, though would remain in place for those who could not. In the meantime, face-masks continued to be mandatory and rules enforcing social distancing were kept in place as well.

### The First Round of Results

After one day of presidential primary voting, GCNN revealed the projected number of delegates that each candidate was set to receive. At this point in time, the results were as follows:

***Democratic Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Keir Starmer - 120 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - 90 Delegates**
* **3RD PLACE [JOINT]: Payton Hobart and Naomi Long - 30 Delegates EACH**
* **5TH PLACE: Elizabeth McCord - 0 Delegates**

***Republican Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Boris Johnson - 90 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE [JOINT]: Ted Cruz and Thomas Jefferson - 60 Delegates EACH**
* **4TH PLACE [JOINT]: Jack Robertson and Kanye West - 30 Delegates EACH**
* **6TH PLACE: Rishi Sunak - 0 Delegates**

***Detection Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Phryne Fisher - 150 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Jim Hopper - 120 Delegates**

***Cat Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Nekotaro Catman - 180 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Puss in Boots - 90 Delegates**

***Libertarian Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Borgaret Thatcherson - 150 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Vince McMahon - 90 Delegates**
* **3RD PLACE: Joe Exotic - 30 Delegates**

In the aftermath of these results, Elizabeth McCord took the decision to withdraw her candidacy for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. She then endorsed Keir Starmer, encouraging all of her supporters to vote for him in the final half of the primary. Similarly, Jack Robertson suspended his campaign for the Republican Party presidential nomination. After denouncing Republican Party front-runner Boris Johnson, he endorsed Thomas Jefferson's campaign.

### The Death of Rishi Sunak

After having been infected with Kanmuvid-21 a few weeks prior, Rishi Sunak died from the illness. His fellow candidates took the opportunity to send their thoughts and prayers to his family, and many recognised his numerous accomplishments throughout the span of his career. Boris Johnson however received criticism for his response to the news, due to the way in which he insensitively stated that voting for his presidential campaign was the best way to honour Sunak's legacy.

### The Second Round of Results

Several days after the first round of results was released, GCNN revealed the final number of delegates that each candidate had received. The final tally was as follows:

***Democratic Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Keir Starmer - 150 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE [JOINT]: Payton Hobart and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - 90 Delegates EACH**
* **4TH PLACE: Naomi Long - 30 Delegates**

***Republican Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Thomas Jefferson - 150 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Boris Johnson - 90 Delegates**
* **3RD PLACE: Ted Cruz - 60 Delegates**
* **4TH PLACE: Kanye West - 30 Delegates**

***Detection Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Jim Hopper - 210 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Phryne Fisher - 150 Delegates**

***Cat Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE [JOINT]: Nekotaro Catman and Puss in Boots - 180 Delegates EACH**

***Libertarian Party Presidential Primaries***

* **1ST PLACE: Vince McMahon - 180 Delegates**
* **2ND PLACE: Borgaret Thatcherson - 150 Delegates**
* **3RD PLACE: Joe Exotic - 30 Delegates**

### Reactions

In response to the results, Libertarian Party presidential candidate and zoo operator Joe Exotic stated that the results were illegitimate, and that McMahon had rigged the elections through his expansive wealth. He subsequently gave the order for his tiger, Ben, to hunt down Vince McMahon and eat him alive. The plan backfired however when the tigers turned on Exotic and decided to eat him instead. Exotic was then forced to run off into the distance, escaping the hungry tiger and leaving his career in politics behind.

Shortly after this, Vince McMahon attempted to hold a victory speech at his personally-owned stadium, though he was faced with an unexpected predicament. Ben the Tiger, fed up of having chased Joe Exotic for hours on end, made a sudden appearance and remained eager to eat the newly selected presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party. McMahon attempted to make his son use physical force against the tiger, though his son simply ran away. In the aftermath of this, Ben the Tiger, pounced at McMahon, ready for a tasty snack.

### The Democrats Officially Launch Their Campaign

At the Democratic Party National Convention (DNC), President Bartlet took to the stage in order to congratulate Starmer on his victory, before awarding him with an endorsement. Another noteworthy speech at the DNC was that of Payton Hobart's, who graciously conceded defeat in spite of the personal attacks that Starmer had made against him throughout the campaign. Not only did Hobart offer his endorsement, but he also expressed a willingness to someday work for Starmer. When Starmer took to the stage himself as the Democratic Party presidential nominee, he announced that he had chosen fellow candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to serve as his running mate.

### The Detection Party Mount a Comeback

The Detection Party National Convention was similarly harmonious, with former presidential nominee Hercule Poirot and former candidate Phryne Fisher both giving their endorsements to Jim Hopper's presidential campaign. Hopper subsequently took the opportunity to declare Hank Schrader as the Detection Party vice presidential nominee. Schrader was a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, and had previously stood as a candidate for president in the previous election cycle.

### The Tempestuous Republicans

The Republican Party National Convention however was not quite as amicable as the previous conventions. During his concession speech, Boris Johnson denounced Thomas Jefferson's campaign due to their previous hostility towards one another. As a result of this, he announced that he would be leaving the Republican Party in order to pursue an independent bid for the presidency. As a consequence of this, he was forced to resign his role as Republican Senate Leader. Jefferson did however gain endorsements from the other candidates that had stood against him, including Kanye West and Ted Cruz. Jefferson chose Congresswoman Julia Montague to serve as his running mate.

### The Problematic Convention of the Libertarian Party

The Libertarian Party National Convention was chaotic in a different sense, simply due to the problematic nature of the party itself. During its concession speech, Borgaret Thatcherson unintentionally summoned Margaret Thatcher back from the dead, allowing the deceased politician to make a dramatic comeback (albeit in puppet form). In the meantime, Lord Buckethead took to the stage to order Libertarian Party members to seize power through brute force, and promised to ensure Vince McMahon was elected by any means necessary. When McMahon took to the stage, he proclaimed that Senator Hyatt A. Kite would serve as his running mate. When Kite entered the stage however, he was quite clearly both drunk and high, causing him to vomit all over the convention stage. McMahon later flew into a furious rage as a consequence of this, and sought to dismantle and destroy Kite's personal vehicle.

### The Cat Party - Contested Convention

The final convention to take place was that of the Cat Party's where there was no clear winner of the presidential primary. As a result, this was a contested convention, allowing the delegates free reign to vote as they wish. After this process took place, here were the final results:

**1ST PLACE: Nekotaro Catman - 150 Delegates**

**2ND PLACE: Puss in Boots - 90 Delegates**

Following this, Puss in Boots took to the convention stage in order to concede the election to Nekotaro Catman. He said he would be more than happy to offer his services to Catman, whether that be on the campaign trail or assassinating an opponent. Catman accepted the endorsement, and delivered his acceptance speech. As he stated he would do throughout the campaign, Catman appointed his cousin, Raymond, to the position of Cat Party vice presidential nominee.

## General Election

### Roll on the ConDems

A number of Democratic Party members, led by Joe Manchin, announced the formation of the new Conservative Democratic party, announcing that Manchin himself would be running for the presidency under this banner. He strongly criticised Starmer and Ocasio-Cortez, saying that socialists had taken hold of the Democratic Party.

Others chose to mock the name chosen by the Conservative Democrats, especially as the party's short-code as assigned by the Electoral Commission was revealed to be [ConDem] – which resulted in several sexual innuendos on the part of candidates and members of the general public alike.

### Conservative Conspiracies

A special report by GCNN revealed that during the 2016/17 Presidential Election, Jefferson took part in a conspiracy to attempt to destroy the candidacy campaign of Alexander Hamilton due to a personal feud that had erupted between the two of them. The then-newly elected Republican Senate Leader Dick Cheney condemned Jefferson and implored him to withdraw his candidacy, but Jefferson claimed that there is no substantive evidence to support the allegations and affirmed his commitment to run.

### Sweet child of McMahon

It is reported that Vince McMahon has an illegitimate child and that the mother of said child was seeking years of back-dated child support, and that the child is a Libertarian Party politician. After having interviewed numerous Libertarians, it's revealed through clues discovered by Saul Goodman that the child is McMahon's very own running mate: Hyatt A. Kite.

### Guns and Chips (on shoulders)

Whilst attending a campaign event after the First Main Party Presidential Debate, an attempt is made on the life of Thomas Jefferson, who is narrowly saved when a security guard jumps in the way of an oncoming bullet before later dying. As many candidates offer their thoughts and support to candidates and the family of the security guard, Jefferson later comes forward and claims that the attack was orchestrated by the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Although Keir Starmer does not comment in any way, shape or form on these allegations.

### Left! Right! Debate Nights!

#### The First Main Party Presidential Debate

The debate was dominated by an argument between Starmer and Jefferson, during which the two men made many personal attacks against one-another. Jim Hopper eventually intervened, calling them out for their juvenile behaviour.

#### The Vice Presidential Debate

A similar debate erupted between the Democratic and Republican Parties, with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Julia Montague duelling it out verbally between the pair of them, with AOC criticising Montague for continually referring to her as "Ms. Cortez," and not using her full, proper surname.

They accused each-other of trying to divide the group chat, and argued passionately in favour of their respective running mates and how they'd use their vice presidencies, if elected, to support their candidates and the country.

#### Third Party and Independent Candidates Debate

Joe Manchin and Green Party candidate Ian Blackford fall out with one-another over an incorrect fact as stated by the latter. This, in turn, leads to chaos, with the two men slinging insults at each-other continuously throughout the debate.

After several warnings to stop by Stohk Ihmage, they are escorted out of the debate hall, leaving just Boris Johnson and 1010 (Ten-Ten) to debate each-other alone.

#### The Second Main Party Presidential Debate

Starmer denies the accusations that were made by Jefferson, and says that his party had no involvement whatsoever in the assassination attempt. Once again, this leads to a major argument between the two candidates, mirroring the first debate.

## Presidential Election

### Round 1

After two days of voting—extra time being given to ensure that mail-in votes and to reduce risk of crowding in polling stations—GCNN revealed the amount of delegates that each candidate was due to receive.

#### Results:

(Listed by amount of votes received)

1. Keir STARMER and Alexandria OCASIO-CORTEZ [DEM] - 150 E.C votes.
2. Jim HOPPER and Hank SCHRADER [DET] - 120 E.C votes.
3. **[JOINT]** Thomas JEFFERSON and Julia MONTAGUE [GOP], Nekotaro J. CATMAN and Raymond N.M.T CATMAN [CAT], Vince MCMAHON and Hyatt A. Kite [LIB], 1010 (Ten-TEN) and Neon J [IND] - 60 E.C votes each.
4. Ian BLACKFORD and Mhairi BLACK [GRN] - 30 E.C votes.
5. **[JOINT]** JONES and XENOMORPH [NRK], Boris JOHNSON and Dominic CUMMINGS [IND], Joe MANCHIN and Mark KELLY [CONDEM] - 0 E.C votes each.

### Coalition VS Coalition!

With Hopper and Starmer finishing in the top two, they advanced to the second round.

Hopper was endorsed by Jefferson, Manchin and Johnson in what many called the Unbreakable ConDem Coalition, which promised "We will not tear!". Starmer was endorsed by Catman, Blackford and 1010.

### Round 2

After another two days of voting and concern amongst voters and scientists such as Gary the Gadget Guy and Anthony Fauci over whether social distancing was being followed or that people who had tested positive or may have been infectious may have been attending polling stations, GCNN and the Groupy McGroupface Electoral Commission revealed the final results.

1. **[ELECTED]** Jim HOPPER and Hank SCHRADER [DET] - 285 E.C votes
2. Keir STARMER and Alexandria OCASIO-CORTEZ [DEM] - 255 E.C votes

With the results officially declared lawful, Jim Hopper and Hank Schrader were elected the first Detection Party president and vice president of Groupy McGroupface.

## The Aftermath

Following a disappointing finish, Keir Starmer and running mate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez officially conceded to the victorious Hopper campaign. Each promised to maintain an active role in politics, however, with Starmer committing to his role as Governor of Cargo Shipping and Ocasio-Cortez promising to maintain her position in the GMGF House of Representatives. Following that, all previous campaigns conceded as well.

Once concessions were finished, Jim Hopper accepted his victory and was joined on stage with his running mate. In his victory speech, Hopper promised the group chat that all promises made would be kept. Acknowledging the fact the Detective Party would face a still-Democratic Congress, he concluded his speech by urging unity.

In the twlight of the Bartlet Administration, FBI Director Mahone delievered a press conference detailing the findings of the Thomas Jefferson assassination attempt investigation. Stunningly, the FBI announced that the would-be assassin indeed had ties to a neo-conservative PAC and thus members of the Republican Party were considered to be responsible. In an urgent press conference, Senate Republican Leader Dick Cheney claimed there was no evidence that he was direclty involved in the assassination attempt.

Democrats had retained control of Congress, with Republicans and Detectives coming in second and third, respectively. There was initially discussion that Democrats would block Hopper's cabinet nominees. In response to these rumors, Hopper ensured to craft a largely non-partisan cabinet that was guaranteed to pass the gridlocked Senate. In response to this olive branch, Democratic Majority Leader Dick Durbin ensured that each of his picks were confirmed without issue.

In his inaugural address, Hopper passionately urged the group chat to face adversity head-on and work together to overcome crisis. Acknowledging the health crisis and devastating economic situation caused by KANMUVID, Hopper pledged to eradicate the disease through the newfound power of the federal government.
