I really enjoy when people dont know the difference between democracy and republic. Democracy isnt failing, it simply hasnt been tried since athens. Whats failing is the system of corruption people like to call a “republic”. Why tf you would elect people to represent your interests instead of representing your interests is beyond me. Republics are the original ‘outsourcing your thinking’ creation.
Democracy isnt failing, it simply hasnt been tried
Jesus Christ dude, crack a civics book. We have a litany of mechanisms for direct popular governance already in place. My state constitution gets updated with a raft of popularly chosen amendments every election cycle.

Elected bureaucracy is not the only mode of civil engagement
