I'm with you on that. I still have some faith in state Ballot initiatives where the people vote directly, bypassing the legislature. However, the "people" here in Colorado actually had a ballot initiative that will make it harder to get future initiatives on the ballot... and it passed. So sad.

I agree with your comment with a caveat... representative democracy is not a virtue. What about Direct democracy, where people vote directly on each issue or delegate their vote to an actual trusted person? There is a definite use case for blockchain technology when it comes to secure and transparent voting.
I don't agree with Majority rule systems, but this would be quite a few steps closer to a consensus based system.

It's still the political manifestation of the bandwagon fallacy. Why should a majority rule a minority through any such process?

The majority should NEVER rule,,,,, remember, by definition 50% of the people have an IQ of 100 or below,,,, is that what you want making your decisions???? I would like to see FACT make the decision via scientific analysis...... like Jaque Fresco promoted for the Venus Project
