    None of these should be goals.

    Direct/liquid democracy where you have the individual right to vote on everything, and so be your own representative, in addition to the right to transfer your vote to a representative, and transfer it back to yourself or someone else at any time, is the only democracy.

    Instead of a cabinet, direct recallable functional administrators are elected until they piss off the people. Liquid/direct democracy can create subdivisions of functional silos with administrator in charge of single task/project, so you don’t have to think of a single cabinet official of a full department, even if there is some coordination/offices in same building.

        While both are subject to propaganda/fraud, Sortition is more subject to bribery after being in office.

        There definitely needs to be limits on speech to protect against fanatical religious supremacism (Zionism) hate speech, and economic fraud supporting oligarchist/corporatist supremacy. In other countries, blantant CIA/Atlanticist propaganda fraud needs to be exterminated. Disposession of media violating treasonous/fraudulent speech is necessary for democracy to work.

        At same time, with direct democracy it is easier to counteract propaganda and demonize those who use their delegate power for evil. Sortition would be subject to more closed information/perspectives capture. Well funded lobbyists will continue to sell lies, and seeking out the truth takes effort.
