    We have the technology to implement some direct democracy and get away from all this “represntitive democracy” that doesnt work so well. Let people vote on the actual issues and we’ll get progressive policies pretty quickly, we wont get into wars, we’ll spend much less on defense, and the corporatists wont be able to buy influence as easily.

      i honestly don’t believe that any of this would be true. Unless you went the libertarian route and pretend that the people know better than the government at all levels. Maybe i’m just cynical. But there’s a federal government for a reason so.

          i like democracy, just not when people are allowed to make decisions directly. Look at brexit.

          Representative democracy, or something like the US has with actual electors who aren’t just idiots would be great. But unfortunately they’re also stupid.
