- tdeck 4y agoBased on that description, it sounds like the worst outcome is that it becomes like regular representative democracy.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 4y agoIf there was a regular requirement to re-confirm delegations, maybe, but "chain delegations" are another problem. Voting power is transferable. If A and B delegate to C, and C delegates to D, D has a voting power of 4. The goal of liquid democracy was specifically to not be a regular representative democracy, and to (meaningfully) allow direct participation, and it fails spectacularly at that.
