Democracy 2.0
Liquid Democracy Wiki
The idea we are supposed to vote once every few years on a representative is archaic. This system does not work and has proven itself to be a popularity contest, where the beauty pageant contestants are chosen by the powerful.
Maybe we can have a debate discussing the pros and cons of this system?
Is this realistic? What would it take to change the US political system?
To be clear a liquid democracy is also digital, so imagine an app on your phone where you can see and vote on individual government issues, as well as delegate your vote to any representative that you trust. If that representative abuses his power, his power can be taken away easily in real time vai the app. No delay.
It would also be possible to divide your 1 vote to many people you support, voting can be done anonymously and all voters must be government verified vai that app, bots are not allowed to vote.
