OP was making a principled stance for a more direct democracy. When you argue against a more direct democracy, doesn't that make you scratch your chin and wonder if you really support democracy at all? Do you really support your fellow man and his pursuit of happiness, or do you know what's best for him and wish to dictate how he lives. Based on what you wrote, you don't support democracy at all - which may possibly be a valid view.
- wav-part 10y agoDemocracy is socially-accepted extortion from successful. So any proposed Democracy 2.0 that reduce welfare spending, will be met with opposition from people. This predicts quite many behaviours of people that supposedely support Freedom/Independece/etc.
