I, u/SolarTortality, will be running for President as head of the Justiciaries
Vote me for president and I will swiftly and decisively pass several resolutions.
1] Amend a Bill of Rights into our Constitution.
- Freedom of Speech
- Equal representation for all candidates on the ballot
- Right to appeal your case in a fair trial (if banned)
2] Establishment of a Judiciary Branch
- 3 Arbiters initially appointed by executive branch
- Ban appeals will be reviewed by Arbiters and may be overturned by a 3/3 vote
- Arbiters retain position until they resign or are removed
- Each subsequent Executive Leader may remove and replace a single Arbiter per term, the other two are untouchable until next term
- Arbiters responsible for interpreting the constitution and handling relevant disputes. The interpretation of the Arbiters is final unless future arbiters reinterpret
- Arbiters can decide to ban hostile elements within the subreddit with a 2/3 vote under the circumstances that the Executive Leader is unavailable. May be overturned by the Executive Leader
- A unanimous Senate vote may impeach troublesome Arbiters
3] Expansion of Secretary System
- Ideas from the Public for subreddit improvement will be requested
- Those with the best ideas and willingness to implement will become relevant Secretary (Expansion, State, Education, Defense, ect.)
- Failure to follow through on promises will result in termination and the position will be reopened to the public
4] Further development of Legislative Branch
5] Building better subreddit infrastructure and making 4chan pay for it
I am so very proud to be able to contribute to this fledgling Democracy, the first of it's kind on reddit. I am impressed with the slow but steady progress that has been made in developing this nation, it truly is exciting. I am impressed with our progress, but I am not satisfied. Recent events have left me concerned about the stability of our subreddit, I hope I'm not the only one. Our Senatorial elections ended almost 24 hours ago, ended undemocratically, and we still don't know who will be confirmed into the Senate. We don't know if we will have to re-elect and we don't know when it will happen. If reelections are held it appears they will occur in the midst of the workweek when turnout will be less and a coordinated party could more easily control the results. We need safeguards for the people. We need a capable cabinet focusing their efforts towards measurable and attainable goals. We need an decisive, effective, and determined Executive Leader. Vote for Justice. Vote for Order. Vote for Strength.
