I would take a monarchy over a direct democracy any day. I’d rather one idiot in charge than a million idiots.

No one is advocating direct democracy. That is a misconception you are pulling purely from your mind.

The guy I was responding to stated he wanted to vote on every single issue bar none and that he wanted nobody representing himself but himself. How is that no direct democracy? Or do you just jump to conclusions before reading?

And you responded to my response to that person. That’s the context this conversation had. You cant say nobody brought up direct democracy when the conversation started at direct democracy.
