Speaking of the death penalty; I am fully in support of passing a bill that will end the death penalty in the US in this game.
I was wondering whether a senate filibuster is going to be present in this game when trying to pass a controversial bill like the ban of the death penalty?

Im totally in favor of the death penalty, and i think we should leave it there because there are other threads to discuss real world politics, but this isnt one of them.

Hmm, I guess the two kinda overlap though, at least somewhat? Plus an option to either try and increase the use of the death penalty/abolish it would be an interesting thing to exploreâŚas would how to deal with sayâŚan important captured figure if you go to war with someone/choose to kidnap someone important like a world leader, rather than flat out kill them.

Maybe, but there are some crimes that are inexcusable and the only way to make sure those people dont commit them again is to kill them. And killing a world leader would cause a huge crisis in the leaders country, while capturing him would give you bargaining power so its really more what the situation calls for.

I prefer the grey spelling myself, but if youâre going to pick a spelling, do stick to it.

I wasnât actually looking to debate the merits of the death penalty in this thread, sorry if I gave that impression.
What I am more interested in is whether this game will reflect how the Senate of the US operates sometimes when controversial bills are brought forth to it. I do believe that there will be at least one senator or senators who will employ obstructionist tactics such as a filibuster to not allow my proposed ban of the death penalty to come to a vote and requiring 60 vote majority instead of a simple majority (or at least 50 votes since my Vice President will vote with me). This will require me to negotiate with other members of a party.
I am thinking of the politics in this game.

Ok, Im sorry, I thought we were talking about politica in real life and I have extremely strong opinions on politics so I was just trying explain that there were other threads for that, since this isnt the place for that. Sorry if I came off as rude. Also I agree with you on seeing congress and how it reacts to those things.

No problem, I too have strong political opinions but with regards to the death penalty I am not too involved (even though I disagree with the idea of the death penalty) since I do not live in the US. In my country it is banned since 1995 after the Constitutional Courtâs ruling against capital punishment. I am hopeful in this game it will be like the House of Cards with all its politicking.
