Right, I mostly agree with this take. It’s definitely misguided to call the US a democracy considering the level of fraud and corruption while the will of the people can’t correct the course of action since there is no functional democratic levers to do so. But again, at the local level, ballot measures are a good exemple of what direct democracies could produce. I guess democratic systems are inherently more functional at a smaller scale than at large scale but this could change with blockchain based technologies that could enable new systems of direct democratic governance at scale.
