RE: Elon Musk advocates Direct Democracy

in #blog7 years ago

The only difference between a democracy and republic is that a republic has a president. This is the real dictionary definition. Both a democracy and republic use the same process of majority rules. I can see the article is from anti democracy propagandists. I would challenge you to show me all the failed examples of referendums /initiatives or recall.

Sort:  

I'll argue from the other spectrum, Brexit. The people voted for Brexit, because they didn't like the mass immigration. But do you think for a second the masses understand the complexity of the trade laws between the UK and the EU? But the masses can potentially make or break their country based on the mass populace.

I prefer the U.S. (a Republic) and think I'll stick with that.
