The electorate would have the opportunity to vote on the military action, and refuse it. Or worse, if the democratic process takes several days, the government would have to turn the tanks around halfway through the invasion.

You would need to be fairly sure your invasion is justifiable (at least to your own subjects) before you start it.

It's just one of the more minor ways that democracy would improve the world.

A community dedicated to democracy!

Where mods will be elected on a regular basis, and can be repealed, and decisions are made as a community.

Rules with regards to how the community is run can be changed, as long as they don't serve to prevent oppression of groups or speech.

Community rules:

Posting/Commenting rules:

  1. Be civil - No personal attacks, flaming, hate speech, baiting, trolling, doxing, etc.

  2. No bigotry or racism. This is an inclusive space.

  3. No low-effort or title-only posts.

  4. Use article titles and source & don't editorialize

  5. Don't use all capital letters in titles.

  6. Don't downvote based on your opinion.

  7. No inciting posting & bad faith arguing.

  8. Report users who violate rules.
