Proposed Manifesto for the Hot Chocolate Party

[lilfluff]

Spurred by some tweets and a LJ posting of djinni's, comes the idea of the Hot Chocolate Party.

Here is my thoughts on what the position of the Hot Chocolate Party should be.

• Have a mug of cocoa, it's good for you.


• We all live here, so remember when you fight, you're fighting with family


• When the voices get too loud -- come calm down with some hot chocolate, we'll even add your preference of marshmallow (mini's, full size, spoonfuls of fluff)


• Neither side has a monopoly on truth, both the liberal and conservative world view are valuable




• One serves to remind us of our values, our history, and tradition


• One tells us to live up to our values, and considers if some traditions are better left to the past.




• Chocolate rules! Coffee drools! (Er, wait, that might be a more personal comment there :p)


• Everything is better with some cocoa (there, that's better).


• Extremists lead to ruin, no matter which world view they claim to enforce.


• No, really, we're serious about the cocoa. It's far better we sit and talk than for us to fight, even if we walk away still disagreeing with each other.

In case you're wondering if I'm serious? This is definitely a Ha ha, Only Serious post. One that is both humorous, and yet contains truth to hopefully be considered.

So, what do you think the Hot Chocolate Party should stand for?

Haha, this is win. My only personal alteration would be a bullet point that provides, coffee is available for party poopers who prefer it. (because I would totally be a party pooper, though hopefully not to the extent of shitting on your political party in earnest).

I approve of this platform!

Sorry, at first you lost me there :)

I thought party as in partying and celebrating with hot chocolate

...but at the end it dawned on me you meant party as in a political party to be elected... *sighs*

I would vote for both: hot chocolate party (celebration and political) both in one...

So: Hot Chocolate Party should stand for providing / catering Hot Chocolate Parties :D

Good idea!

I think it should stand for the process of starting on common ground, exploring important topics, and making that enjoyable rather than fractious.
