The only one making disingenuous arguments here is you bud. Your whole argument is based on a completely unfounded supposition that the current system does not end up fairly representing the will of the public. There is no evidence to suggest anything of the sort that I'm aware of.

Meanwhile, the whole idea of direct democracy that you're peddling here doesn't scale beyond small communities. Failing to understand why delegation of concerns is a necessary aspect of any complex organization exposes infantile understanding of the subject you're attempting to debate.

Perhaps they don't understand the concept of questions recieving answers that don't take false assumptions seriously.
