    With a direct democracy you increase the problem I talked about a million-fold. Instead of a few hundred people selfishly taking care of their own interests instead of those of the whole country, you have a few hundred million doing the same.

    If we had a much more educated and empathetic population, it’d be effective. But we’re so far from that right now it’s laughable.
