There’s certainly an argument to be made for direct democracy. Considering my own political beliefs at the moment include something very much like it, I’m definitely not going to argue against it.
I just feel like if we flipped the switch tonight, we’d be in the same position tomorrow that we are in today because everyone’s so indoctrinated into the ideas of the “two party” system we have right now. For instance, I thought we all hated the TSA, etc. and figured aloud (aka on bbs) if it’s so unpopular, why don’t we get rid of it.
Someone kindly pointed me to a heap of surveys showing that most Americans like the TSA even if it occasionally pisses them off by targeting white straight cisgender people instead of everyone else, who should so clearly be targeted by them instead.
It’s not simply that we’re voting for lizards (Doug Adams reference) … we believe in them too.
