"direct democracy" is a no-true-scotsman type fallacy, as you can use it to keep moving the goalposts indefinitely. Even Switzerland, the much-touted example of "direct democracy" has a parliament of elected representatives.



You will note I did not suggest a "true democracy" replace the entire process, that would be completely impractical, rarely does it work at scale.
