Your proposal would require another violent revolution to implement.

Why would it be violent? Change.org is already able to influence politicians, if it was updated to have the required features, more politicians would have to follow it, and new politicians who believe in direct democracy would be able to get elected.

So it would be a turbulent time, but no violent revolution.

You've got to be kidding. Change.org has only ever influenced minor, inconsequential issues. Signing online petitions allows people to feel good about themselves without actually doing anything.
