I’m ready for a modern form of representation that isn’t constrained by how many people an old building can hold. I wish small groups could have a representative with a proportionally small fraction of voting power.

- M95D 5mo agoThen, why have groups at all? Direct democracy!
- deckar01 5mo agoMainly participation. Voter participation is already very low. It would be interesting if voting was more like jury duty and a random sample of the population was selected to vote per issue. That way there are no termed representatives to corrupt and participation is always significant and uniform.
- M95D 5mo agoRepresentation by random selection instead of popular vote was already proposed as a fix for many of the democracy's disadvantages.
- deckar01 5mo agoI don’t remember it being covered in any of my government classes, and I had not considered alternatives to electoral representation until it started being so openly corrupted. Sortition USA looks interesting. https://sortitionusa.org/ https://sortitionusa.org/
