Direct democratic style elections allow the masses of ignorant uninformed voters to turn our republican form of government into obe that allows the top 1% of the people to control the media and the schools as well as the government and a corrupt monetary system that benefits the very afew at the expense of the very many.
The American Dream has become a horrible nightmare and an oligarchy of the financial elite gave turned the American people into debt slaves.
There is no hope to restore the America unless we are able tp take the money out of politics. Our current monetary system rewards the corruot bankers, lawyers and politicians and penzlizes everyone else.
