If every state was to have a direct democracy, how would we go about putting restrictions on frivolous bills, and who would be responsible for making the decision that a bill is in fact frivolous?
Direct Democracy
- Thread starter SirGreenThumb
- Start date
Why would anyone want direct democracy? Has the desiring person never taken a stroll through this forum? My goodness, these are the people who actually care about or have some knowledge of current events--look at how ignorant, irrational, and illogical people are constantly being, and how petty--"Obama rules!" "Republicans suck!" "You're a banking cabal Jew!" Why would we want to give meaningful power to an even larger group of people?
Of course, this is why politicians always seem so wacky to us. You think it's easy to con tens of millions of ignorant and/or moronic people into voting for you? I say be happy they're lying to us, since it keeps people out of the trouble they would otherwise start if promises were actually kept.

You make a great point. The only thing I would ever want from a direct democracy would be limited government. Other than that, most of the "people" are too stupid to figure out what is best for them.

But, if you think about it, Direct Democracy is nothing more than mob rule. You are basically, and I mean no shit for real, talking about UNLIMITED governance.
People are stupid, mean spirited, violent and superstitious, religious, emotional, drunk, etc.
A govt saves us from ourselves. Get it Real.
As a direct voting mob, there are no real people and no good intention any more. It's bad enough now, with the lies and emotion tampering. The misdirected hate. A voting mob is a Sociopathic Demon of the 9th Order.
No good can come of it. It is why, during the first term of a freely elected freeman, George Washington, he pushed thru the Electoral College concept and had it Amended quite easily into the Constitution. Of all his gifts this is his last and best, imo.
No Mob Rule, even if you call it huhggaabodf. Un-Constitutional.

Why stop there, I say we vote that a Baskin Robbins must be built on every street corner and give away all its ice cream with $100 bill wrapped around the cone.

Well. We could at the same time vote to dig up the street and put down pneumatic delivery tubes. And after it is dug up we can vote on the money issues about it. While we were concentrating on ice cream and sequential bill tracking, then we might find it is almost to late to vote against the next thing on this topic.
I would vote no, to make it mandatory to hook the delivery direct to everyones stomach as a cost saver?
Results in a few minutes, then the cutting and then the wait to see how this will be paid for.
Seems very similar to what we already have. It's called Marketing.
