Except that vote also explicitly says that something else may creep in later. It's not a one and done deal.

thing is there alreaddy is a thing that's exactly the same except replacing Assimilate with crush (your voting it) yet currently the normal version is still in the lead. there really is no reason to switch since the vote for the alternative alreaddy exists

That's actually an aspect of their plan that I like.
There is a major difference between organized crime and crime.
Saying we'll never stop crime is true, but the action is focusing specifically on organized crime. A random mugger or person stealing from a convenience store is regular crime that would happen no matter what, and thus shouldn't be used to determine how we react to organized crime.

We have no reasonable expectation that our control of the criminal underworld will be immune to outside infiltration, either, though.
Judge Doom's wasn't.
...The alternative has picked up several votes because there are people who are willing to risk splitting the vote rather than endorse "assimilate crime." I'm one of them.
The point is that the Maximize Party has a sizeable wing that, despite the new alternative plan arising later, has chosen to break off to support it. This suggests significant numbers of people care. Plans like this usually don't get more than like 1-3 votes' worth of traction if people do not, on the whole, care about the issue in question.
I'm recommending compromise because I think the popularity of the alternative vote is great enough that if I'm an 'assimilate' voter who strongly desires that the rest of my plan win, I'm more likely to make that happen by compromising on 'assimilate/crush.'

No, but this way it'll be abundantly clear if someone else does move in, and with the underworld contacts we may have an easier time pushing them back out than if we were completely cut off from the underworld.
And with the underworld contacts, we might pick up word if someone else is poking around before they act, which would let us stop them from taking over Doofania's underworld in the first place.
It's not bullet-proof, but ultimately, I think we'll have better control over our underworld if we control our underworld.

Yeah. Right now we have 24 'Maximize assimilate' votes, many of them from when it was the only viable Toontown Railroad plan on offer, and 9 'Maximize crush' votes, all from the last two hours.
When an alternate variant of a plan can grab a quarter of its voteshare in two hours, it's got respectable momentum.
I don't want to approval vote because that results in 'assimilate' winning when I really don't want it to and don't think the majority of the voterbase even wants it to. it's getting approved because it's bundled with other stuff and because now that it has bandwagon status people don't want to risk losing out to a non-Toontown Railroad plan.

Citation needed.
We already found out they're moving in on areas far outside our territory without them, why would them moving in on our territory (which Ross is ferociously watching) be harder to detect.
If they try to move in on our territory Khan can scream in their faces and go splat. We don't need some nameless low stat goons when we've already got so many great hero units, especially when many of our units wouldn't approve and would lower their loyalty stats.

I don't know if it's allowed or not but If you vote for more than 1 plan in one post the Tally picks it up for each plan (as seen by @dbRevned who has three votes in the last tally)

i meant the people who would switch if it got more traction could approval vote and see if it get's traction without having the plan lose voters

No, we know that "somebody" is moving. We have zero other intel on them; any of them. We have complete blindness as to who the underworld movers and shakers are, and that will eventually bite us in the ass.

Oh so these secretive people are just going to tell their identities to the people they send into our territory?
We can already detect their movements. Identifying them is the job of Ross, Mirage or one of our inventions, recruiting regular criminals (rather than the goofy LOVEMUFFIN sort) is just a liability.

Okay, first; cut the condescending tone. Second, their minions will talk. When gangs brush up against gangs, someone inevitably says something that can clue a good spymaster in on who those gangs belong to. Trying to threaten a rival with a higher-up, the way they talk, even the way they dress. All of that can clue you in on who they may be working for. But if we crush crime? We have none of those potential insights.

When gangs turn up in an area they inevitably talk to each other and the people they're threatening.
They'll still be threatening people with the wrath of the same higher ups.
They'll still talk and dress the same way.
I promise to vote for a Spy network next then if Assimilate loses 👍🏽

That does sound like the kind of action that would give us an extra intrigue action though and people have started pushing for those hard this turn.
Maybe it'll be easier to set up the network if you have some sort of roots in place?
