Direct democracy gets rid of politicians and the general population vote on each bill/law change

That still doesn't guarantee the military won't take over, reactionary sentiments spread through propaganda, etc. Without a revolution there will never be true democracy.

... The military could literally take over under any system. That is not an excuse to sit on our hands

My point isn't that everything is futile, but rather that a better democracy isn't possible under capitalism.
