There is on average over 1 new bill a day that gets voted on in Congress. Those are the bills that get past committees.

Everyone still complains it is impossible to get Congress to actually do anything, since this is a huge country with 300+ million people.

If we didn’t have a ton of filtering (by whom? And who gets to decide that, is who has real power!) we’d probably have 10K+ new laws a day being proposed.

What do you expect the voting process to actually look like?



I don't know what I expect the voting process to look like, but you seem to be assuming the worst without even thinking it through very much. I'm not an expert, I just don't think we should throw out ideas based on poor strawman implementations.


It’s well trod history, hah. The founding fathers directly wrote about and considered it too.

There are reasons why literally nobody does it, and it isn’t because it works too well.
