I mean, there’s plenty I’d change with our voting system and even who we vote on and the power they can hold, but voting is non-negotiable. Are you saying there’s a different form of consensus than voting?
Consensus decision making is different from democratic voting, yes, but the process is more democratic than simply voting.
As far as I am concerned, representative democracy has been tested and failed spectacularly.
We need something else, for sure.
I’m all ears on a new system, even aside from representative democracy, but there are problems with just putting all things to a popular vote as well.
I think we’re talking about the same thing just using different words, care to elaborate?
yep, popular vote is just dictatorship of the majority, so that’s pretty much a non-starter, too
i hope you don’t mind too much if I just drop a wikipedia link - sorry, I should be sleeping rn. check out the consensus based decision making article for more details on how it kinda works.
