    Representive democracy is deprecated anyway. Its just too easy to bribe 300-600 politicians. We should have had direct democracy for 20 years.

    You could vote on bills that are important to you directly and hand everything else to your representative. Via internet you could change things on a daily basis if they start to act weird.

    For stubborn boomers, they could forfeit their voting rights for the entire legislature to their favourite influencer politician. If thats what tickles their fancy.

    Buuuut they dont want this because thats their living. And its a good one with all those bribes and market manipulation. This isnt new for trump and this is not only a conservative problem.

      Yes, but as Fox News and the like has taught us it is, unfortunately, also easy to mass-manipulate ten million idiots, and people tend to react before they have facts.
