    I don’t want to throw away my vote after elections
    I got lied to too often.

    I want to be included in decisions that concern me - other decisions only concerns other people, I don’t need to be involved in everything, but I want to keep my vote

        Actually I’m more of an utopian naivist and with that an anarchist, to be happy with that. But it would be a step in the right direction.

        To more self determination

      I get the idea, but one thing to know about lies, was it a campaign goal or what was it, bc most politicians can’t do whatever they want. Even some majority doesn’t mean unrestricted power. Dems have a platform of policies and more are passed in states with more Dems, and more healthcare access makes healthier people, and higher wages and paid leave improves worker satisfaction, etc. Proven policies produce good results so vote based on the platforms with proven policies. That’s the closest we have other than ballot initiatives.

      You can try to make direct voting a thing with enough push for it, that’s part of the Democratic process to join or start movements like that. With social media now anything can go viral! Good luck!
