I am on the shitter instead of the shower. So, sorry if I babble crap. But imagine something like GitHub but for the purpose of restructuring society.

    Honestly? I don’t think that’d work. We already have a problem with not enough people voting once a year as it is.

      People don’t vote because why bother.

      You vote a representative that says “I will do this” and then they don’t do it. Representatives lie. And you can’t do anything about it within the current political system.

      Or even if they don’t lie, nobody agree 100% with a representative. You may agree in some topics but disagree in others. And having to vote for something you don’t want to happen is very frustrating and many people don’t vote because of that.

      We need a system where popular vote can make decisions directly.

      People dont vote because they dont feel like their views are properly represented. If each individual issue was open to referendum or voting, the only people who would take part in that specific vote are likely people who are well informed and passionate about the issue. I think this would end up being a far better system than having to vote based on nebulous campaign promises that are hardly ever fulfilled, or when they are, your issue is tacked on or bundled with a whole bunch of irrelevant and even harmful legislation.
