Web 2.0 president
How much publicity do you think I would get if I ran on a platform of “true” representative democracy, ie if I was elected President, I would work with top notch computer security dudes to set up a website where everyone could vote each time I had to make a decision.
It would have to have *major* voter fraud detection, and there are still some people who don’t have Internet access, although you would think they would go to a library if they could boss the President around.
“Where do I stand on the issues? Wherever you want me to.”
This is an absolutely hilarious and thought-provoking idea. I think you’d get a ton of press, easy. I wonder if that were to actually happen, whether or not it’d be a good thing.
