CMV: the US should have National Referendums


So one of the biggest issues we have within our government is that the average person does not receive equal representation in government. There’s several examples of this, a lot of which tie into federalism (i.e. the senate, electoral college, etc.) but another giant issue is politicians just not actually being interested in supporting their constituents views.

It would be a step in the right direction to have national referendums to allow voters to directly have a choice and not pray to god their rep or the system itself doesn’t fail them. Direct democracy has some issues with it, not here to say it’s perfect, but so much of our government leads to unequal representation I think it’s one of the better solutions to fix that problem. 

**I understand a good amount of people here are federalist but I would rather not make this conversation about that, yet I realize there’s a chance that is inevitable. The part of this I’m looking to be challenged on is more so the issue of said unequal representation and not “federal government good/bad”.**

Vast majority of decisions require a lot of insight and knowledge, and at least theoretically, we delegate this power to representatives to do their due diligence.  

UK and Brexit is a pretty good example of uninformed public making a moronic decision based on ignorance.
