As is understand it, you'd take the current voting system where you can vote for representatives + you can at any time directly vote on an issue.
As a voting system what are you thoughts? Could it work? why not? why so,etc?
The main problems I see with it are speed,old people, and lobbying. There would have to be strict regulations in regards to lobbying being factually sound and sourced,with fines to jail time for intentionally misleading the public.
Then put a hold on new laws except for extremely mission critical ones,while we revote/refactor all pre-existing laws.
Bills could only cover singular issues with a specific scope,killing riders and would need to be specific as to meaning and coverage.
You'd need some kind of staggered voting week,mandatory time off to go through the various issues but staggered to avoid cities shutting down.
This way the power is ultimately in the hands of the people. This isn't something could happen overnight,but gradually phased in.
Basic. There is no democracy when there is Anarchy.
So fuck off with democratic "values"

anti voting propaganda is retarded imho. voting takes no time whatsoever, it's not like it stops you from whatever you were doing already. not voting has no use whatsoever either, but voting has at least the potential to change something.
Sebastian Gonzalez
DO YOU WANT TO TRIGGER THE WHOLE BOARD OR SOMETHING?
Jordan Gomez
well, let's say it's 1/10^1000000000000 that's still higher than not voting, which has 0 potential.

shit literally today's opium of the people
Brody Ramirez
that pic makes no sense in this context. i think it's meant ironically
Cooper Rogers
well, maybe it does make sense if it is targeted at but he doesn't look like Holla Forums. generally fascists tend to vote a lot.
Aaron King
he looks more like a shill
Carson Miller
reminds me of the flawed delegation system of the CNT that ultimately became a tool for the counterrevolution to be honest family

You still have the problem of threatening people to vote in a certain way, and there will still be other ways to rig the system through propaganda, collusion, disinformation, and the good old conspiracy. And is democracy and voting and letting yourself be trampled by the idiocy of everyone else, really freedom?
Lincoln Ortiz
nope. the protocol that i saw was designed to let people overwrite their votes as often as they like. they can vote for drumpf and shillary and photograph themselves and get paid by both and then they vote for jill or pirate party or whatever.
now you're just going full retard. all those apply to all political systems and have nothing to do with democracy.
Lincoln James
Idealist, as most of the """"left"""" is today.
Camden Rivera
It could work,however since this process (as I understand) is decentralized you are practically forced to use a digital solution, and uhm… well I let my buddy tom explain it: youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI&list=PL96C35uN7xGLux5q2c4P_IqbKF11-pfsR When we get to a point that this is reliable, I'd be the first proponent.
Also to all the 'muh demosracy types' here, you don't have to act autistic just be cause you're on a chan…
I think idealism is a more then natural response to neolibiralism
