Well said. The issue (as noted in the article) is party politics. The solution is not to make it easier for whatever party happens to be in power to wield it like a bludgeon, or to throw away the concept of representative democracy and run the government like a twitter poll. The idea that we should keep the parties and the tribalism, but ditch the requirement that we learn how to compromise with each other, is completely wrong.
