And yeah ranked choice voting is always great
Largely I think my plan is good
I really would prefer we not ever return to the IDS as it is really lame
What about IDJ
That’s not happening
let me catch up here.
There are people within the party that have explicitly requested and would prefer the IDS. It should be on the ballot, regardless as to what the others might think.
Personally I think a ballot with the south, jefferson and the IDS whichever gets the most should be the one used. That would be my preference if we're doing a ballot.
"Ben wants to not give southerners a choice" Look, Ahab. Can we please stop this?
"even if YT hadn't introduced the bill, Ben would have tried to force through renaming it back to IDS, and been a lot less reasonable than YT on the issue
you don't know Ben and how he works
at least how it's currently planned, the southerners actually pick, not the chamber"
well, if we're going to speculate on my motives am I at least allowed to present what I planned to do?
or are we just going to assume, sans proof and condemn me while we're at it?
my original plan was to present the IDS bill to rename the south the IDS. Beyond that was up to the delegates. The reason I wasn't happy was that as a con amendment, there were other issues that needed to be considered. Issues that have pretty much been glossed over and aren't relevant at present since we're not doing that. I don't see how that counts as 'forcing the bill through' anymore so than any other bill to the delegates.
"It’s a policy, and if he can’t vote based on policy he shouldn’t be a delegate" ok ahab, can you please stop with this?
@Deleted User just apologize and we can
To the southern people
Also dude your bill you proposed as a modification isn’t giving people a choice
Considering the Governor would have to sign it and it would be a law
The people wouldn’t decide
I've stated here that I'm fine with a ballot
are you going to be civil ahab?
But what you proposed wasn’t
Look I’ve got an idea I want to work on with the Speaker
And I think it’ll work out well
that's why I stated I was fine with a ballot
because that was the question at hand no?
What I want is the Speaker to open the floor up to the general
Public
The people introduce their ideas
We close it after 24 hours
Then we pass a law allowing for a referendum to change the south’s name with a ranked choice election
The name that achieves 50.1% will be the new name
I think the three options are the majority options that have come up, Jefferson, the IDS and the South.
Well yeah
it seems to me that most people favor one of the three.
But it’s not democracy if we limit people’s choices now is it
I see no reason why a referendum between those three would be an issue
Which is why I want to open the floor up for public debate
To the general public I mean
