Representive democracy is deprecated anyway. Its just too easy to bribe 300-600 politicians. We should have had direct democracy for 20 years.
You could vote on bills that are important to you directly and hand everything else to your representative. Via internet you could change things on a daily basis if they start to act weird.
For stubborn boomers, they could forfeit their voting rights for the entire legislature to their favourite
influencerpolitician. If thats what tickles their fancy.Buuuut they dont want this because thats their living. And its a good one with all those bribes and market manipulation. This isnt new for trump and this is not only a conservative problem.

Technology@lemmy.world•I visited Meta's metaverse on the day it was supposed to shut down. I ended up in a horribly designed car park with no cars, for a restaurant that can sell no foodEnglish
151·9 days agoWho has the time to play in the metaverse? To actually put up with VR or normal gaming even you need to have 1+ consecutive hours to spend. Grown ups dont have that kind of time. Wasnt meta one of the first companies to jump the RTO bandwagon? Even further diminishing the little time we have…

i just do 0. I feel like giving 20% more than agreed upon as default is crazy. I can not imagine employers giving 20% more wages just because i was doing my job? Why should i burn money?

11·15 days agoMakes you wonder why privacy was perfectly fine for decades, centuries, millenials even but after watergate and epstein its a problem for politicians all of a sudden. Also this goes against the democratic will. They say nothing about it and when voted to office BAM they shit on public will.
