With the extreme amount of tribalism in our country and each party being owned by special interest, neither is out for the best interest of the majority anymore.


You're conflating topics. The two party system sucking doesn't mean we should dump the representative part of our democracy in favor of a direct democracy.

And as stupid as the people in Congress are, the average American is even dumber anyway. I wouldn't give the average American a direct vote on what I would have for breakfast.

As I've said time and time and time again. TWO things could fix most of what is wrong with Congress

1. Term limits - coupled with liftime ban on lobbying after holding office

and

2. A constitutional amendment limiting any new to 5 pages of double spaced print on a regular sized sheet of printer paper.

Number 2 is FAR more important than number 1 to be honest.

The parties by name are not at fault - the people in the parties are. Kinda of like guns and the people who use them for nefarious reasons.

Direct democracy is a terrible idea. Look at California with their ballot initiatives.

we cant even take 1 step towards a f*cking Voter ID card

People have already figured out how to hack and stack the deck for American shitty Idol. How in the hell are we going to get to referendum votes by the gen pop, without rampant unabashed fraud?
