IMHO, imagine how many things would be different if the people voted on it, not a minority who DO NOT represent their constituents.

Well obviously it fails because the people who are supposed to represent us become corrupted and fail at doing so.

This same thread was started yesterday and everyone said why it would be horrible in that one. No way. That is the worst idea ever.

Yeah!!! Now the majority gets to oppress me instead of the minority!!!

The founding fathers were against a full democracy, calling it the 'tyranny of the majority' which is absolutely right.

It's called "debate."

What happens to the minority in a democracy?

Isn't everything based on what the majority wants? The majority of votes pick the president. I don't understand what's so bad about that.

It's not called a debate. I'm fucking sick of sarcasm and being talked down to, flamed, etc. Fucking excuse me for having an Idea. It's not like I want to ruin anything, fuck.

We didn't flame you. A flame would be "you're a moron" we were saying democracy is moronic. Sarcasm is a tool used in debate, and I have used it in real debates before.
