I thought this stream was supposed to expand, not shrink. removing Congress would just be removing a whole branch, leaving the supreme Court and my cabinet. it would allow basically anyone to vote on major decisions, which would remove the entire point of the anti-alt law.

at this point if only a few people can vote on major things than its not a democracy its a capitilism

my "goons" can vote & run for positions like prez & congress, and so can anyone else. are you saying that the people don't have any power?

dude you and your goons are gonna make it so that when one of you gets elected the other goons get spots in the politics , and you will end up doing that until this stream gets boring

notice how none of my cabinet members are "goons"

when you were prez, you only appointed loyalists. I appointed actually good members, even those that didn't support my campaign. If any of my "goons" win, it would be because they earned their position.

Progress for the sake of progress isn't progress. What good has congress even done?
There is no supreme court
Not necessarily

so tell me more about how removing the few features of this stream will benefit the stream. I mean sure, do it, apparently your role is God and can change whatever you want, but in reality, it would only give me more power. and it seems like y'all want me to have as little power as possible
0 ups, 3y,

What have those features even done?
Ask anyone, the stream was more fun when it was first made. It was simpler then too.
I really don't think we need to be making a ton of laws anyway.

Salty aren't we?

this stream is now a hellhole because of whitenat & timber. Then Lachancla and Richard kept whining about me, and then the new imgflip military mods responded to their and whitenat's BS. adding the supreme Court and Congress had no effect on how crappy this stream was becoming. Honestly, it seems like the adults that take politics way too seriously joined and turned this into another politics/politicsTOO stream.

there is no supreme court

You mean adults like KylieFan, Legion, and Randall_Flagg? They're some of the biggest contributors to this stream's hellish state

Kamikaze hasn't really been in this stream for a while until I appointed him. Legion and flagg have contributed to the hostility in this stream, but that was only because they were combatting the hostility that was already there. Whitenat and Timber were the first to start the chaos, and it results to other users getting blamed. Lachancla certainly isn't helping this stream get better either. He's just blaming everything on me and criticizing every move I make.

KylieFan freaks out over WhiteNat even when he's not here, it's obsessive.
If people would just ignore WhiteNat and flag his comments instead of arguing with him, maybe he wouldn't keep bothering us. Instead he's got his own anti-cult, headed by KylieFan.

And what exactly have you done to relieve tensions?

And there you are, people taking it way to seriously is the problem. Hence me trying to simplify it!

expanding the roleplay isn't the same as users taking this roleplay too seriously. I mean all of the mudslinging going around.
0 ups, 3y
If the stream is more complicated, the people who choose to participate will naturally take it more seriously. It's an indirect cause.
And yes, mudslinging

As a mostly ceremonial (appointed not elected) congressman with no real power, I wanna ask: what the heck is Congress good for anyway?
Anytime we wanna pass a bill we find out that that YOU, BEEZ, KAMI, the imgflip military & the global mods all have veto power.
If we're not allowed to make laws, what are we good for?
1 up, 3y,

Kami and the imgflip military don't have veto power?

But yeah, nothing much happens anyway

Because if you leave the power in the general populace, then all sorts of bad people could vote on important things and screw us over.
