Yeah, that’s called a monarchy or some other form of authoritarian government.
Representative democracy sucks, it just sucks less than all other forms of government.
“Democracy never needed walls to keep their people inside!” - JFK
Democracy as we know it doesn’t work in the age of social media and AI “truths”. Something has to change
It does. People just need better education
Of course, and the reality is it never really has worked.
If you read the early history of the founding of the United States, you see it’s full of using “media” to influence the populace. Democracy has never been intelligent people having arguments without logical fallacies and convincing each other the best path forward.
Democracy is far from perfect, but it is better than the other systems of government.
true - but perhaps we have settled for “good enough’ish”, and stopped looking for something better? 🤔 any newer types of governance?
No, this is anarchism; an absence of government.
would work better I thinkWhat is this representative democracy for ants?! There are far too few seats to properly represent a population that large. It needs to be at least three times bigger.
It needs at least 1 seat per per person, and split into many smaller rooms based on locality.
The is nothing in US law that prevents congress from expanding the size of the House to ~330,000,000
Nah, too many perfectly good trees wasted on all the furniture
What? Senate on an annual paid vacation ten times longer and more lucrative than you could possibly have?
I love it. It has the perfect number of people currently seated.
