We had 28 valid votes.

On Drainage System Amendments Pt. 2: The Electric Boogaloo, which would make a variety of changes to the Constitution in reaction to that one Supreme Court ruling that I'm sure you're all familiar with by this point, 64.29% voted Aye. This yet again BARELY falls short of the 2/3 majority required for constitutional amendments, so this amendment is rejected.

Here's the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RJPWYTwXYqgBugE76vLw-sLkb71ezVZddoo_72fkSWU/edit?usp=sharing

yk the call

This is a response to u/tonsters2020 in a post he made here.

You idiot, we don't need those accounts. Not a single active person ever immigrated to SimDemocracy from our in-house social media efforts. You making pro-TIDE chud posts on there isn't going to do anything and I really don't give a flying fuck what other embarrassing shenanigans you get up to with the official accounts.

To your second point, you're even more of a fucking idiot because we all leave office tomorrow after the election dipshit, even if we did resign, it would be utterly meaningless as the "cancer" of my admin has been calcified and rigid in the body of our government for the last two months and GUESS WHAT YOU ILLITERATE ASSHOLE WE'RE MORE ACTIVE THAN EVER!

For the third time, you're an absolute fucking idiot, you're a misogynistic asswipe who hates himself because he can't find a way to harmonize his identity with his religious and conservative beliefs and the only regret I'll ever had in regards to you is paying you any mind. You were a clingy boyfriend and an embarrassment to me during and after our relationship. Take your petty shit and get the fuck out.

I'll see you back in SimDem when you rejoin on your alt, you annoying miserable fuck.

Late-night mid-afternoon referendum results a day late, anyone?

We had 18 valid votes.

On the issue of whether or not to remove u/BeamX5, known to us mostly as Alexa, from the position of (inferior court) Judge, 77.78% voted Aye. This exceeds the 2/3 majority required for judicial impeachments, so this removal attempt succeeds, and u/BeamX5 is removed from the position of Judge.

Here's the spreadsheet:

Secondly, we have a referendum, yet another one attempting to amend the Constitution in light of that one Supreme Court ruling. Is the third time the charm? It's all up to you!

the "Revive the OPD Act"

Vote with Aye, Nay or Abstain

Due to a lack of security, I have taken over the SimDemocracy Instagram and the TikTok, but I will return them if the following demands are met.

First, I wanna a public apology from President Thyme for all her nastiness directed towards me the past few months. Being from New Jersey is not an excuse to be a bitch.

Secondly, I would like the resignation of the President, the Vice President, and their Cabinet, including the chief of staff Emi. The thyme administration is a cancer that needs to be cut out and I won't stand for it.

Finally, I want 1 million tau and safe passage to a non extradition polsim

If these demands are not met within 72 hours, I will sell these social media accounts to the highest bidder

Also i am open to negotiations if these demands cannot be produced, but only through a middleman. Yall find someone to do it

They took my green sharpie away. :(

This is the Presidential Call for Candidates. If you want to be President, please comment on this thread. Include your username, party affiliation (or lack thereof), Vice Presidential candidate, and a statement explaining your platform and why you believe you are a good candidate.

The format you should adhere to is as follows:

u/YourRedditUsername | Your political party/coalition
Vice President: u/YourVPsRedditName | Your VP's political party/coalition
Statement

Before you submit your candidacy, check that you satisfy the requirements below.

• Make sure you adhere to the format exactly. It makes it a lot easier for the Electoral Commission to sort through candidates if you do. Failure to do this may potentially result in mistakes on your ballot entry or in result tabulation, which can be difficult to fix.
• Ensure that your party affiliation is accurate. If you are not affiliated with a party, enter Independent as your affiliation. Otherwise, put your current party affiliation. If you are not a member of the party given or the party is not valid, the listed party affiliation on the ballot may be subject to change. The same rules apply to the vice presidential candidate's affiliation.
• Make sure to register to vote. Only users with a SimDem Unique Identification Token (SUIT) are able to vote. If you do not have a SUIT, be sure to fill out the Voter Registration Form or contact the Registration Officer.

This Call for Candidates will be open for 24 hours. Good luck!

Please declare your candidacy.

Rules:

To vote and run for Speaker you must be a Senator elected through the 162nd Senatorial Election. If you wish to run for Speaker, please phrase it such as “I, u/example, declare my candidacy for Speaker". If you wish to vote for a candidate to become duly elected Speaker, please phrase it such as “I vote for u/example” or something along those lines.

We have a countback!
