God damn it, this is how fascism really takes hold, when the fake communist start winning seats. They build up a bunch of momentum and then they suddenly “flip” (To their true form) at the last second and start killing people.
Am I crazy about this? Is something like this worse than a public nazi being in an office seat?
Unsure about how “important” this seat is. I’m more worried about the trend. If the only “commies” getting seats are ACP reactionaries, when real communists won’t be able to distinguish themselves from them in the public eye.
Also, how the fuck are they so effective? It seemed like mere months ago ACP began. How the fuck are they able to get any seat with the term “communist” in their party name? Regardless of their reactionary status, to normal people, the big C word is a no-no.
Final free thought: I know commies aren’t gunning for office most of the time, and that is fine. Building community, unions, and being in the streets, is more effective. But having some office seats could lead to small-but-useful changes, especially since this is a legal-adjacent seat.
The duties of high bailiff are to serve writs which the sheriff is incapable of serving, such as the writ of arrest of the sheriff, and to temporarily succeed to the office of the sheriff in the event of the sheriff’s incarceration or incapacity. In practice, an officeholder “rarely, if ever, does anything”.
