I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 397 - 396: Please Call Me Senator Zhou Mo Sen from Now On!

Let's be honest.

In the United States, nothing else seems efficient, except for voting.

It's really efficient.

Vote during the day, and you know the results by night.

Zhou Mo Sen gave his last campaign speech during the day, then voted for himself.

Then he went back to wait.

Of course, this last stage is probably the final effort.

s were the most intense.

Local radio and TV, and whatnot.

Almost entirely Zhou Mo Sen's big face.

Oh, and quite a few cars had his ads too.

That's just how the United States is.

And it's not just the United States.

As Zhou Mo Sen was coming down, he couldn't get the scene from a movie out of his head.

"Black Gold."

Overall, except that I'm not some gang boss... oh, wait, that Bloodline Gang...

Forget it, at least not officially.

Let's start over.

Overall, I'm not as... I mean, at least my kidneys are better than Zhou Chaoxian's, right?

Other similarities, they're nothing special.

Also, I'm more cultured than him.

I, Zhou Mo Sen, am a doctor, an intellectual, not a rough guy like him.

And now, although there are some similarities.

Anyway, it caused quite a stir.

Like in "Black Gold," on voting day, not only do candidates go all out to canvass votes.

They call it vote solicitation.

And the whole society gets mobilized.

Like taxis, and whatnot.

All involved in voting.

Really, the situation in that movie, it's all true.

Zhou Mo Sen had heard it from people who came from the island before.

Overall, what's depicted in the movie "Black Gold" is not as exaggerated as reality.

In fact, the real issue is.

That island, in terms of voting, basically follows the United States system completely.

Meaning, general elections are every four years, that's true, and in the middle two years it's midterm elections.

So, essentially it's the same. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But on that island, it shows a rather helpless reality.

The general election is, when the previous vote ends and results announced.

Then the next election starts!

Many people surely wouldn't believe it, and would question.

Isn't voting just one day?

Isn't it four years apart?

That's right, procedurally it is.

But, is the election campaign really just that one day of voting?

One must know, it is four years apart, but in reality, midterm elections are extremely important too.

Just like in the United States, whoever controls the legislative branch is in power.

In the United States, midterm elections are about who occupies Congress.

So, once this election ends, they prepare for the next one.

Quickly getting into mutual slandering, criticizing, and fault-finding.

From that perspective, the matter of elections, really never rests for a single moment.

The whole society is in a state of constant elections.

We just take a look at "Black Gold."

It's easy to see how Zhou Chaoxian fought with others, consuming vast social resources.

And it also involves interests from various sides.

Giving someone over 60 million, then still being scolded to their face.

And in the movie, in the end, Brother Hua won.

What about reality?

Actually, we all know, even the people on the island know.

Brother Hua won nothing!

It's a repetitive cycle, a never-ending system.

Who can win?

Everyone is trapped in it.

And looking at the United States.

Is it much better?

Not really, just slightly better in certain aspects.

Midterm elections here start from the beginning of the year.

From the start, all sorts of momentum are built.

And one must know, during this phase of momentum building, candidates haven't even been finalized yet.

Yes, they haven't really decided who will go up and which district they'll run in.

But there has to be this step.

Without it, how would we know who can win?

And this requires all sorts of surveys... that is, polls.

The United States is capable of generating all kinds of data.

No matter how bizarre, it can be done.

Why can it be done?

Simple, because it has the most 'survey companies' in the world.

Like Gallup.

These polls, how important they are.

You can't do without them.

This is a must-have for election campaigns.

But, are these so-called polls really that important?

Companies like Gallup, do they really contribute to economic growth, national progress?

This time, Zhou Mo Sen participating in the election felt a lot of things.

It made him think of many things.

For instance, that time when the Old Witch battled Chu.

Anyone who watched should remember, the Old Witch had an absolutely confident stance beforehand.

There were quite a few poll statistics.

The Old Witch was way ahead.

Even at an absolute advantage.

But, later on...

Actually, how were these surveys conducted?

Many so-called poll companies used data from some TV stations.

Like CNN, to turn their survey results into data.

CNN is the Democratic Party's mouthpiece, to put it bluntly, what kind of audience do you think watches this channel?

But even with this.

Many so-called polls, the samples are just around a hundred or so.

Yes, just one or two hundred people, and that's the sample.

They were all Democratic Party-minded viewers, then they came up with some data.

It would be strange if the Old Witch wasn't in a large lead!

Yet, there are so many of these survey companies in the United States.

Why is the GDP of the U.S. service industry so high?

Now you understand, right.

And now... It seems a little better, but not much better.

After Zhou Mo Sen finished his final canvassing efforts, he returned to his campaign headquarters.

A temporarily rented office, with the whole team there.

Of course, for those who funded, and well, there weren't many people.

Mainly remnants of the Descent Sect.

They were all watching TV, waiting for the results.

Of course, we do have quicker and more authoritative channels.

But, the good thing about watching TV is.

Everyone waits together!

However, Zhou Mo Sen was waiting in his private office alone.

Before the election results were announced...

"Hi~"

Scarlett Johnson, smiling brightly, came up to Zhou Mo Sen.

"Why are you here?"

Zhou Mo Sen was quite curious.

"Don't forget, I'm your rumored girlfriend."

That... wasn't wrong.

Zhou Mo Sen looked helpless, "Didn't we agree?"

"Agree on what? We never really agreed on anything."

That... she had a point.

Besides, Scarlett Johnson was dressed particularly 'well' today.

In the United States, in elections, it's very important that candidates wear a very traditional brand, in a very American style.

And the candidate's family, especially the wife, has to be 'super American.'

Like, look at what Kennedy's wife wore?

Exactly, wear just like that, ideally identical.

And Scarlett Johnson was almost a spitting image of Jacqueline's outfit.

Elegance with American flair, and a hint of old money.

Except... she was really provocative.

Anyway, being just Zhou Mo Sen alone.

Scarlett eagerly leaned in for a kiss, looking exploratively.

"Here..."

"What's the problem? Anything wrong, my Senator Zhou Mo Sen?"

Goodness, how sweetly she called.

And at this moment!

"Oh oh oh!"

"Wow!"

"We won!"

"God bless America!"

Zhou Mo Sen's campaign headquarters turned into a sea of joy!
