    The reason we got fucked over is a LACK of representation. We started a fucking revolution because we were so heavily taxed by a foreign power.

    Maybe you want to move into a different direction where all are somehow involved in lawakong, but that’d be a huge clusterfuck.

    Imagine 330,000,000+ individual policies…

      Technology could largely streamline that and condense things in plain language for people to understand. Research councils and individual polling could help to dictate ballot composition. I’ve seen it proposed that you could enact whats known as liquid voting, where by you could entrust a like minded friend you consider more knowledgeable to vote for you. Outside of that, so much of that individual policy is performative and redundant. We can change how the system works incrementally and work toward greater levels of involvement and knowledge will become more common the more people have a taste for it. We can incentivize participation by linking it to civil duty and a lessening of your personal taxes.
