Democracy isnt failing, it simply hasnt been tried

Jesus Christ dude, crack a civics book. We have a litany of mechanisms for direct popular governance already in place. My state constitution gets updated with a raft of popularly chosen amendments every election cycle.

Why tf you would elect people to represent your interests instead of representing your interests

Elected bureaucracy is not the only mode of civil engagement
