ehhhh direct democracy doesn't really work practically, theres so many votes on little things congress does and it isnt feasible to have a national election every time for those

obviously not on every issue, if people voted on every issue that would just be rule by mob.. like I said you gotta also protect minority rights

just major issues

we already do props in states for those kinds of things like d*** legalizion why not do war, d*** policy and other issues on the federal level

I don’t have any information on this, but I bet we’d all be surprised at the amount of corruption in smaller elections

No it does sorry you delude yourself

Democracy is the best way to build inclusive institutions which are necessary for growth and development. I will defend democracy and popular suffrage with my life

That doesnt mean democracy should be forced on people hwoever

yes thank you

exactly lol

we don’t do a popular vote for laws

we don’t even do a popular vote for federal elections

in the US, the people don’t vote on anything actually important, the land votes

the wealthy who own that land decide how that land votes

that’s not a democracy lol

the US government doesn’t agree with any of your points

see:
coup detats organized by the CIA in South America, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, etc.

The land votes
Wow okay

That's not how biden won.

Not voting is a vote in itself

biden won because he was vice president and wasn’t trump, and even then barely won

that was literally his entire campaign platform alongside some skeleton progressive measures which hasn’t even been pursued in an earnest effort

yes i love how 51% of people are more important than the other 49% !

Oh in that case then sure but America itself is still a democracy albeit flawed

Ah yes those who support a system that historically only led to fascism is calling another system fascist and fascist enabling

What system has historically led to fascism. Please do tell

just can't believe the take of "socialism leads to fascism" when we actually have history in front of ur face saying otherwise

I mean yea I do are you stupid

It's literally the best system when it comes to stability (without domination) and representation

sounds like you want direct democracy.

nope.

this just isnt true. you just dont know what democracy is.

I would rather see that than 49% > 51%

But I think you should have to have 2/3rd voted to pass legislation.

Stupid post considering Bloomberg got molly whopped and spent 500 million on his presidential campaign

Money is clearly not the sole denoting factor on who wins U.S. Elections and if you had any sense of context a***ysis you would realize that.

Yes, of course. You're either a fascist or tankie if you don't. Or some crazy ass sortitionist.

But, democracy in the U.S. is heavily, heavily, heavily flawed.
