This sounds great, until the tyranny of the masses decides to accept something terrible.

Pure Democracy doesn't work, as evident by the social mobs we now have on Twitter and Facebook over half-truths, non-science, and rumors.

I certainly don't want important things decided this way.

You've been using HN exclusively for political arguments, and you've made a lot of accounts to do it with. Those things are abuses of HN, and we ban people for doing them, so please don't do them anymore.

There are websites where fighting political battles is on topic, but HN is not one. Here it's corrosive. Some amount of this is understandable as a spillover effect, but it gets less legit the more it approaches single-purposeness. We ban accounts that do this repeatedly, and it seems to me that yours have. Please either use HN as intended or don't post here.

Totally agree! We are not looking to make the state run only by a platform. But we believe there should be an option in our political system that's more open to participation with real impact. We don't want all the parties to be like us, we don't even wan't to have a majority ever. We just want to have the option to vote directly and make our voice matter much more than today. Technology is what allows systems like the state to run, we should update our Civic Operating System!
