Direct democracy is the only real democracy, stop saying "filtered democracy" and "representative democracy" THOSE ARE NOT DEMOCRATIC! As long as someone, or a group, holds power over the rest of the population, IT IS NOT DEMOCRACY! Democracy means power to the people, not power to a president, parliament, state, or any fucking intermediary ! Rights are not "inalienable" when they're at the whim of a few! It's not "democracy" when the only candidates allowed to be elected are the ones with millions in campaign funding, who are most often old white men who think they're above the population! Stop calling representative republics "democracies"! Power corrupts, and the only real democracy is a direct one, by definition, power to the people, not anyone else!
