Vote Envoy/Jemy for a more fun role play!

You know, I haven’t given OP’s proposal much thought. It’s been kind of beaten into our heads in civics class that Athenian-style “direct democracy” is unworkable, but for a roleplay with only a few dozen active members? Why not?

Also, our systems (in both America and Britain) already contain elements of direct democracy, such as when specific propositions are put to a vote of the electorate in a referendum.

I think it’d certainly be an improvement over the mostly AFK RUP crony Congress that consistently chooses against the wishes of the actually active role players here.

However, I spot an immediate practical problem, which is determining the exact size of the electorate at any given time. We have to know *exactly* how large the Congressional electorate is in order to know what “a majority” or “a supermajority” is.

If there’s an idea for determining the size of the electorate — like, everybody who has an official Imgflip_DMV license is a Congressmember with voting rights — maybe that would solve it.

What would the Senate have to do with the Bill of Rights? It's purpose will be to vote on foreign affairs, not Constitutional matters that only concern IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS.

we’ve been over this, John.

Yes, we have indeed, so stop spreading lies about the Senate. F1Fan, who suggested the idea in the first place, is backing me up here too. Congress voted to create the Senate assuming it would be created after the election and only vote on foreign policy not domestic matters, so don't try abusing its purpose for something it was never meant for.

f1fan doesn’t decide everything about the senate, hell it wasn’t his idea first. I am allowed to hold my opinions for what the senate should be for, now, what exactly are your campaign promises? yet to see any. ;)

And neither do you ;)

And you must be blind because I've frequently said I will keep pushing for that NSFW law, help create the Senate as it was originally intended and not based on OP's misinterpretation of it, and maintain the current structure of Congress.
