Which is different from a Democracy, as I said. You would think a Governor would know better, but he's Dem from Penn so maybe not.

Americans aren’t smart enough and willing to put in the time to be informed enough for a direct democracy. Hell most of us don’t really put in enough time researching the people we vote to be our representatives. I worked in medical fields for most of my work life and could do a passable job being a representative about that but I don’t know shit about many other things. I have opinions about all of the stuff you read about in society. On balance I am a libertarian and think that giving people the maximum freedom and control, over their lives works best.
