Honestly with the way the internet exists now, we might feasibly be able to do something closer to direct democracy.
But good luck convincing the people in charge to lay down their power.
Yeah no…as much as our current system sucks, I’d rather have some sort of a buffer before full on mob rule.
People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals…and you know it.
Full on direct democracy sounds like a good idea. Until you realize it’s two wolves and a sheep making dinner plans.
I fail to see how that’s different than the way it currently works, except you get the tyranny of the far right minority instead of tyranny of the majority.
Or another way to look at it, with your analogy, instead of two wolves, you have one professional career wolf who is far more effective at his job.
Nah it’s more like the wolves lawyers and the sheep’s lawyers fight it out. Like a proxy war.
Ew. I almost clicked a Reddit link. 🤮
Mostly /s. Kinda.

My sincere apologies.
Ironically as libertarian (not capitalist) I guess I want BIGGEST government.
