Senate Protest and Analysis Thread

I suppose "Hive Mind" is a bit ungracious, but arbitrary voting based on someone else's vote is clearly not a sign of a healthy political atmosphere.

You're confusing the Northeast Region with the Pacific Region.

And I've always wondered whether Alcon is simply Jesus's attempt to return to the forum's good graces.

Jake speaks truth to power.

You won't tell Dave, will you...?

Dave and I don't exactly have a "personal relationship", if you know what I mean. 

So you're just phuck buddies?

Somebody introduce this:

Disunity Act

If a Presidential candidate is a member of a party, his running mate may not be a member of a different party.

Does this mean VP "must be of same party", or could also be a registered Independent?

The latter.

I do intend to introduce such legislation soon--it was my idea after all--but I was busy with finals and what not, and also wanted to get a feel for the Senate first before I started proposing anything.

I'm just posting this here since I don't want to propose anything right now, but what would you guys think about introducing fusion voting to Atlasia? The most difficult part would of course be primaries, but I think it might be fun...

What on earth is bgwah's immigration act about?

I will be vetoing it if it passes in any form remotely similar to what it is currently.

Why?

I believe it harms us as a practical matter - many people from the countries listed have much to offer in the advancement of science, technology, art, literature, etc.

What is your reason for creating a blanket ban on immigrants from those countries?

I would be willing to accept an amendment to exempt those with college degrees.

[bgwah]

Those people?

[bgwah]

Yes, those people.

May I ask who these people are?

[bgwah]

You're helping nobody by being deliberately obtuse.

Congratulations describing almost your entire posting history. Actually, that's not quite true, as that would suggest you actually know what you're talking about most of the time.

[bgwah]

Would the Senate mind repealing this?

If someone isn't in office or running for office...Is there actually any punishment?

[bgwah]

Hey guys, do we want to recess like we did last year? If so I would suggest not introducing much more legislation.

I have nothing else to do for the Holidays, so... no.

[bgwah]

It shouldn't be too difficult to go File > Save page as on every page of the voting booth, just to have a backup.

[bgwah]

The elections times are currently set by the Constitution and thus require an amendment to be altered.

[bgwah]

It's next in the queue.

[bgwah]

And we should have a slot specifically for foreign affairs soon anyway, as it looks like the OSPR amendment will pass.

[bgwah]

I do not think that Atlasia should go much longer without having a Secretary of Federal Elections. You may wish to find a new SoFE or shuffle some positions around, but if you are so inclined, I would be quite willing to serve in both capacities with one title should the RG and SoFE roles be combined due to constitutional amendment.

Is no one else willing to correct this problem? I can draft a constitutional amendment if so.

I already wrote one a while ago: https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Sixth_Amendment_to_the_Third_Constitution

Does anyone know if there's a 'Violence Against Women Act'-esque piece of legislation on the books in Atlasia?

(And frankly, I don't know if it would pass.)

In this Senate?  Why not?

Atlasia can be weird sometimes. Things that would be completely uncontroversial sometimes get weird and widespread objections.

I know what you mean. Who the heck decides they need to go out of their way to legalize the commercial production of dog meat?
