De-mockery (An Outdated System

So we see more and more, that our system of democracy makes less and less sense.

Sure, back in 1770's and 1780's Representative was logical.

In those days, you had to take a horse and buggy for several days to go between states.

Too much democracy would've been slow and illogical.

 

But we live in an age where you can take a poll in real time on your hand held.

Representatives no longer make sense in an age of technology.

 All they do is create a system where people become more divided and segregated.

Representatives are an archaic outdated ideology.

 

Instead of a House, a Senate, or a president—just put a figurehead there with no real power.

Give power to the people, by proposing new laws and ideal.

Give the people the power, not some old person who has ties to a party or  a so-called college.

Give power to the people let them make the outcome be real.
