We are more connected than ever before in the history of humans. We have technology to confirm one's identity across the communication mediums (peer checking, blockchain, etc.). Thinking of it like old style town halls are not what I mean. As a new system, where anyone can raise an issue, discuss an issue, and either vote directly or proxy someone they know to vote for them on every issue. (I proxy a teacher that I trust to vote on every education issue in the community). However, if at any time, I can vote for myself. There are no longer representatives, we are all representatives. However, there will also have to be checks in place to protect the minorities (in a voting sense, not race/religion). As a true democracy can be very dangerous, as the minority is always under represented and ultimately leads to self destruction of the democracy. (...sounds familiar to the situation the US is in? Who will vote out Santa Claus...read, welfare.) It won't be easy to create. It will probably go through many iterations/pivots/failures, just like anything else that becomes great. But in the end, I think we can get there. Or at least improve the current status quo, which as somebody else mentioned, it's a bad thing to think change is too hard. (Although, more than likely, change will be a generational thing. The people who hold up the current way will have to die and be replaced to someone open to other ideas. Which of course has its pros and cons. We repeat history all the time, despite being well aware of the mistakes of the past.)
