Sure, as they exist now.
Actually, I think that direct democracy is the endgame for humanity as far as people-driven structures of government are concerned. I think ultimately, we'll simply elect people to play around with decisions put forward by data analytics tech. Artificial intelligence will be able to govern with way more nuance than any human structure ever could. -

2018-03-14 at 4:06 AM UTCThe jedis and palestinians on my campus are having a shitflinging contest at the moment. It's been going on for years but it's flared up recently after the jedi group invited the Mayor of Tel Aviv (I think, some mayor) to give a talk and the palestinian group shouted him off the stage. jedi group went out and publicly declared the university's administration and all the professors in the arab studies department anti-semites and now some dudes are going around campus tagging "zionists not welcome" and "zionism is racism" everywhere and both parties are trying to catch them for obvious reasons. Someone noticed that if you report the tagging in progress, campus police will take segways or actually sprint across campus to try and catch them and I'm pretty sure someone is putting in phony reports a couple of times a day just for the spectacle of it.

2018-03-14 at 4:40 AM UTCThe thing about Israel vs Palestine is that it's so deeply rooted in history and religion, nobody will ever want to do the pragmatic thing and move forward. It's an unbreakable stalemate, the two peoples and their end goals are so completely at odds with one another that I'm pretty certain there will never be peace. I don't even see the point in the blame game anymore, it doesn't matter, there are so many faults on all sides.

dont be a retard.
the people collectively could never provide rewards and compensation ...
monetary or otherwise to their ellected representatives as much as your capital feudal lords could.
monies, the abilities to get desired things .... sway people and unless and until ellected representatives are free to extract monies and sexual favors freely and rampantly with absolute impunity form their ellectorates .....
they will always kowtow to the amalgam of corporations that could provide them with monies and pussies instead of their own ellectorates.
why else would a public service such as medical care be so unaffordable ??? -
