Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Where do you fall politically? (startrek.website)

I'm hoping this doesn't start a fight, I'm just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women's rights, environmentalism, etc. Wondering where people here land?

Yeah If you forget to vote in a election you’re fined around $20. So I guess it counts as compulsory voting.

Yeah if you don’t participate in our democracy you might not be able to afford half a pack of ciggies

Its not really a democracy if you have to vote

How do you define democracy then

[–] startrekexplained@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

In a representative democracy, what's the point in making everyone vote in it?
