The current specs for Voter’s Revenge don’t allow for posses to be self-characterized (by their founders) as either (largely) supportive, (largely) adversarial, or neither of these (call this state analogous to a “watchdog”; or neutral).
This might create some reticence to join a particular posse, if the potential joiner perceives a fundamental difference in sentiment and optimism between themselves and the posse’s founder and current members. So, if the reimagined app is ever made, it will allow for explicit support characterizations. (Update: actually, the new spec will demand that the posse’s support level will be made explicit, with the default being “watchdog”)
adversarial type posse
As examples, consider an adversarial posse against Lindsey Graham, whose creation is motivated primarily by Graham’s hawkishness, which sank to the level of encouraging Russian citizens to assassinate Putin. To many a citizen, this is beyond the pale, and they can’t imagine supporting a Graham re-election, except in the rarest of circumstances. Consequently, they would be more comfortable joining a posse with this name:
“Graham is Crackers Possee”
Subtitle: “an anti-Graham, anti Ukraine War posse”
ID: “FEDGA-202-224-5972”
In such a posse, voterslingers will predominate, as compared with wranglers. In the event that Graham starts satisfying the posse’s redlines, the redlines will (likely) be made more difficult, to the point of impossible. Such a posse will be terminally soured on Graham, and wants to use the VR posse mechanism to remove Graham from office, even if he (apparently) has a change of heart.
watchdog type posse
OTOH, let’s say you’re a citizen of South Carolina, you see some redeeming social value in Graham, and merely want to curtail his warmongering. Let’s say you’re a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, and could vote for a Graham even if he remains a warmonger.
In this case, a voter would be more comfortable joining a posse with this name:
“Stop Graham Warmongering Posse”
Subtitle: “a watchdog, anti Ukraine War posse”
ID: FEDGA-202-224-5982
In such a posse, both voteslingers and wranglers will have a significant presence.
supportive type posse
Finally, consider the case of pro-Ukrainian-war citizens of South Carolina. In this case, wranglers will predominate over voteslingers (if there are any voteslingers, at all), and the redlines will be analogous to push poll memes, designed to boost the electoral prospects of Graham, rathen than to damage them. Such a voter would be more comfortable joining a posse with the name:
“Graham – Stay Tough on Ukraine Posse”
Subtitle: “a pro-Graham, pro-Ukraine posse”
ID: FEDGA-202-224-5992
