Politicians arent experts either lmao

We could make voting mandatory by law... And give people a day to vote on things like a Holiday.

No, but politicians consult experts when making policy. The average citizen is going to consult Facebook when making their decision in a direct democracy.

Its not like people dont do that already when voting for someone...

People can consult experts and write up an initiative no big deal... They already vote on big decisions every year on the ballot... Now they would just vote on more things

We could just have politicians transition into positions which draft bills and put them on the ballot instead of a select few being lobbied and corporations donating millions to politicians

People won't waste their time on this. Moreover, this election will be endless.

Nationwide, it takes more solutions to problems than getting by 4 votes a year, doesn't it?
