- jarin 16y agoPure democracy doesn't necessarily scale, which is why we elect representatives and have electoral colleges and such in real life. Maybe HN's reached the point where a pure vote system is not enough.
- crasshopper 16y agoDon't want to start a political argument, but isn't the way to make democracy scale more to do with federalism? And sub-reddits do just that.
