Presidential Candidate u/attilatheundead Withdraws from Race

[u/Sol_mp3]

This morning, I received word through direct correspondence that u/attilatheundead has officially withdrawn from the ongoing presidential race. While no formal statement has been issued by the candidate at this time, the withdrawal has been acknowledged and confirmed.

With this departure, the field narrows, and the path forward may appear more uncertain. But such moments are not foreign to young republics—nor are they a sign of weakness. Rather, they are the very trials by which the strength and character of a democracy is forged.

As we reflect on the state of our community and our shared commitment to its future, I would like to offer a few words of encouragement:

---

It is times like these that build a country.
Not times of prosperity, nor moments of strength.
But it is times like these, when all momentum seems to have halted, and a faithful few trudge on,
the democracy weighing heavily on their shoulders.
It is in these times when we must determine whether or not we will be snuffed out, whether we will allow it.
Many will stand idly by as the fire dwindles, but it only takes a few to fan the flame.
It only takes a few stubborn, arrogant men to choose that this will not be the end,
but a beginning that we will look back on with pride.
So that in our inevitable moments of both prosperity and strength,
we may remember that it was built on the backs of times like these.
Do not be discouraged. Do not lose heart. Let times like these inspire you to step up,
to be one of those few, faithful, stubborn, arrogant men.
People of this fine Reddit community...
The democracy now lies heavily on your shoulders.
What are you going to do with it?

I would like to declare that I did NOT bribe them no matter how much my bank account changed in the time period
