Question by bulabate: Who would prefer legally replacing representative govt with a true daily direct Democracy in USA?
Your brain dead if you believe any named party & putting lawmaking trust in the hands of the few is going to benefit the citizen majority under our form of capitalism. Never has never will by design.
What is so hard to understand about the citizens gaining full legislative rule & control over money/business/govt? If you do NOT gain this legal power you will always be serving the wealthy few or starving/facing financial insecurity etc.

Educate yourself. Our founders hated Democracy. They knew it would be the tyranny of the majority or mob rule. That’s why we are a Constitutional Republic.
What right do other Citizens have to tell other citizens what to do with their property. Smells of Communism.
Show me the word Democracy in the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights?
Democracy is NOT compatible with Freedom.
I know, the truth hurts sometimes.
What do you think? Answer below!
Not me. I want freedom to remain.
A daily role for everyday citizens in the running of government is not workable. How would most people find the time to learn what they need to know to address issues and make decisions in such a short time frame? I do believe however that systems need to be put in place to put the brakes on government officials who go astray of the people’s will. A system of recall elections, citizen vetoes and other referenda which could be implemented in a timely fashion would do a lot to increase the power of the people over government, and over big corporations, who think they own the government. Also, judges need to be appointed or voted in for short terms. No more judges for life. Judges tend to come from the same class of people as corporate types, and they do not have the interests of the common people at heart.
I think you’re forgetting how utterly stupid we are. Not you and me, but look at the average American, HALF are dumber than that! (paraphrased from George Carlin)
