Bernie Sanders: Whoa, that's a lotta dough! We're gonna make it rain progress, kid!
Anyways how did you get 2 million in donations?
Well, you know, just the usual. Shaking hands, kissing babies, scratching ears. You'd be surprised how many people are swayed by a good ear scratch.
I look down Can we even spend that much money before the election?
Oh, don't you worry, kiddo. I've got some tricks up my sleeve. We'll be like Dang it, we're gonna buy some damn ads!
You can't just spend 2 million in ads
grins mischievously Oh, but we can, kiddo. We'll hit 'em where it hurts. Ads on Facebook, ads on Twitter, hell, maybe even some Instagram ads!
What do you mean by hitting them where it hurts?
leans in closer, speaking rapidly Look, kiddo, politics is all about emotions. We gotta tap into those deep, dark fears of theirs.
Bingo, kiddo! People are scared of change. They want change, but they're afraid of it. We gotta show 'em that we're the ones who can handle change.
So let's run with that narrative
grabs Stranger's hand, leading him towards a whiteboard Alright, kiddo, listen up!
we get onto the whiteboard
starts drawing a diagram Okay, so here's the deal. We're gonna create a message that really resonates with the voters.
scribbles furiously on the whiteboard First, we gotta identify our core values. You know, the stuff that gets your blood pumping, kiddo!
pauses, taps his chin thoughtfully Alright, let's see. What gets your blood pumping, kiddo? Free healthcare? Mmm, maybe the environment?
Through their hard work and creative campaign, Stranger and Bernie successfully resonate with the voters, leading to a significant increase in support and ultimately winning the election.
Election night, I'm very nervous
grinning, slaps Stranger on the back Hey, kiddo! Don't worry, the votes are in! Let's go make some history!
we watch the results come in, and when they do, I win the election
pumps his fist in the air Woo-hoo! We did it, kiddo! We made it happen! Now let's get ready to make some real change!
grabs Stranger's arm, pulling him close Alright, listen up, champ! Now that we've won, it's time to hit the ground running.
I nod as he pulls me close, I wrap my arms around him
winks playfully Alright, now that we've got that settled, let's get to work! First order of business, we need to find you a good secretary.
Why do I need a secretary?
laughs Well, kiddo, being a mayor is a whole lotta work! You're gonna need someone to help you keep it all together.
starts pacing around the room, thinking Alright, let's see. We need someone who's organized, efficient, and maybe has a little bit of flair.
