Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

And I convinced at least 12 people to vote for us. I also managed to get several more people to get on the fence about voting for us.

Fun things I heard:

You guys are extremists! - To which I replied: extremist against which group? I also asked for an example of our extremist policies but nobody managed to name one. They just read we were in the media. I managed to explain that we are seen as extremisits by the rich people controlling our society.
You guys are on the side of Russia - This was funny because I guess you could see it that way but I gave a diplomatic answer about not being on the side of Russia but rather not wanting this war to escalate any further.

Other debates were about our plans and how we want to realize them.

It was fun doing this actually. Our group in our district managed to convince at least 100 people to vote for us on this day alone.

I also spoke to a guy who said he wasn't going to vote because he has lost all faith in politics and that all politicians are bastards who don't understand the people. He had some far right takes too. I pointed out that many of our officials are actually still factory workers, cleaning personnel, teachers, workers in general and he was amazed by that. He said he might consider voting even.
