Except, as we saw in Kansas, when left wing policies, like abortion access, marijuana legalization, minimum wages, and Medicare expansion do go on the ballot they often win or at least get much more support than you would guess from believing the Republicans. If we could get more direct voting on these policies, it is quite likely to be quite different outcomes from the representatives chosen by primaries dominated by fanatics system currently in place. As someone that grumbles constantly at all the technically complicated ballot initiatives I have to wade thru in CA, I would prefer a system where the elected representatives shared the values of the people they represent, but maybe the internet has rendered that impossible.
