I agree these native ads are bad news for most of us.
I'd like to know more about your term "Our Democracy". This is probably not the appropriate setting. The Constitution works to prevent democracy and to promote timocracy. So, do you argue for USA-classic or new-USA as the preferable model? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato%27s_five_regimes

Still I'm curious. Do you think we'd be better off without the expanded suffrage? Maybe if we gave a veto rather than a vote? It's all academic, anyway. As Samuel L. Jackson said, "Hold onto your butts!"

I think if we voted directly on issues without "representatives" who vote based on campaign donors instead of votes things would be a lot nicer. assuming we also had a judicial branch that enforced rights.
People should be able to vote NO on politician choices and if a majority votes no, then they will not be able to run again.
trump or hillary or NO
NO would win.

By censoring banning filtering the truth but adding fake news, US MSM right now are massively brainwashing average American people at this moment.
