It seems more of a feature than a bug that a hardcore raider or someone who’s anti-defender would feel like they’re not able to reach their full potential in a defender TSP... The same thing has been true for years and years for anybody who’s preferred TSP be raider or defender than Independent or non-aligned. (Though it was easier for raiders for the longest time...)

Someone who prefers monarchism and wants to get cozier with non-democratic regions will also feel less welcome to run for Cabinet, because TSP has a pro-democracy culture and identity. We’re not about to shed that just to make it easier for an imperialist to win an election or feel that their odds of winning are higher.

If someone holds views contra to the general views and culture of TSP, they’ll have to do the hard work of advocating for their position over years and building up a base of support for it. That’s what our TSPer defenders have done. Hell, I can’t tell you how many elections I had to *really fight* to win, outright lost, or never ran in the first place because TSP’s culture wasn’t ready for an out and proud defender.
