> Because people are capricious ... Right. So you'd rather have them vote for a single candidate who sells them hopes and dreams that they'll make the right decisions to solve all their problems 4 years at a time, instead of voting for solutions to specific issues they're interested in where subject matter experts can actually improve things? Corruption and greed are inescapable. At least by not giving a single person and party absolute power over everything, the damage can be contained to specific areas of government. > Using the Twitter/Reddit voting model to run the world is absurd. What's absurd is the current absolutist model that is easily corrupted via social media (Cambridge Analytica, etc.).
