Yeah but you're letting this president guy just put people in power without a vote. That's not direct democracy.

So your direct democracy would retain the senate which is anti democratic even on a representative level?

A democratic body chosen by popular vote is anti-democratic? Dude, the 17th Amendment...

The senate is an anti-democratic body because each state gets the same number of senators regardless of population. Like you said, it represents the states, not the people.

I'm really not even sure where you're coming from ex. Even those who support our current model where California and Rhode Island both get 2 senators agree it's an undemocratic model.

Its not undemocratic at all, IMO, but if it is, pass a measure to change it. Totally irrelevant to the discussion.

It's relevant if you're telling me under your proposed system we would still have the senate.
