Democracy above Autocracy
Cyber Witch
Dear America,
You may not have heard this, but there was recently a bill that made it's way through Congress that authorized the official creation of an American Dictator.

You may not be familiar about what that entails, so here's the link for that as well: http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/latest-updates
Basically it means that the democratic system of government under which our country has operated for the duration of this game is over, dead, gone.
As we speak those on both sides of this argument are preparing to launch our country into a full blown civil war. Some have even gone so far as to suggest a illegal coup: https://imgur.com/a/2FZSz
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
Stand with me, my fellow Americans. Make YOUR VOICE HEARD!
Contact your Congressperson: http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/congress-elections
Or Party President: USWP | AMP | Federalists | WTP | Blacksheep
AND TELL THEM YOU DON'T SUPPORT DICTATORSHIP!

A LAST STAND FOR DEMOCRACY, OR DO YOU SIMPLY WANT YOUR *OWN* DICTATOR IN CHARGE?
I have no intentions of fighting for any dictator, regardless of who it is. I directed all communications about that to the rightful Chairman which is Jadiv. I made my point quite clear where I stood as an individual. But hey, knock yourself out.
I was just spamming under all T5 copy-cat democracy articles, no need to get your panties in a bunch.
Second for what is right!
Third for dictatorship, xdxd.
WE agree on something CW!
I wouldn't say that too loud, or people will think we are in collusion.

Self imposed dictatorship will be remembered in the same way as the giving up of regions to fight PTO. Over reaction that damages the national morale.
Always Fight for Democracy and against Dictatorship, ALWAYS!
Whatever happened to the good old days when JCS wanted nothing to do with politics?
Also, your characterization of the bill as eliminating democracy shows that you really don't understand the difference between real things and game things.
DMJ, If or when this new dictator bill is acted upon, my egovernment will be removing a large number of eUSA citizens from the political process. We aren't all members of the non-erepublik forum where as I understand it, 100% of country business will be handled once we have a dictatorship government. Disenfranchising numerous ecitizens doesn't seem like a wonderful idea to me.
Did you actually read the bill? I'm guessing not since I remember you saying something about refusing to join the forum. Here's the thing, the forum isn't suddenly being used for politics. The forum has /always/ been used for politics. The Congressional and Executive discussions have been on the eUS forum all along. This isn't something new.
This bill establishes an in game dictator based on the results of elections in game. The Congress still acts as normal, but the bill binds the actions of the dictator to the will of Congress. If the President (while acting as dictator) goes against the will of Congress, he is removed from the dictator seat.
@ DMJ; There has never been any justice on that forum. Even if there was, it crashes when everyone shows up.
@ DMJ; Congress positions generate 310 gold per month.
Maintaining the top 5, employs writers, the tech savoy, investors and diplomacy.
Most of the population disagree with this.
How is it that you don't see any flaws? If you maintain a dictatorship, for 6 months, you will lose nearly half of the eUS citizens.
I never said there weren't flaws. But to call it a destruction of democracy is a straw man. The rhetoric is strong because of our RL politics, and that's what you're all relying on, rather than actually looking at what the bill does and doesn't do.
This wouldn't reduce the importance of parties.
How hypocritical. It not like when you use the term National Security. It's a word that Plato put into the game.
A dictator is not someone that you control. Especially, when dictator fears the population and views us as the enemy.
You really want to make this a matter of "words" when the whole argument against a dictator relies on the RL connotation? Dictator is a word. It's a game mechanic. Mechanics can be used in different ways.
