Yeah, implicit in his complaint is that it is the ideal and would somehow "fix" this ruling. I wish the article confronted that assumption directly instead of attempting to discredit his complaint.

Take a look at Switzerland. Universal suffrage only became universally applied when courts forced the last holdout cantons, in the 1990s. They also recently refused decarbonision efforts because those would result in higher taxes.

Masses of common people are fundamentally unprepared for voting and compromising on important and complex legislation. That's why (supposedly expert) agencies and lawmakers exist, to handle that with some higher level goals and objectives and strategic thinking.

Switzerland seems to be doing pretty well? Why do you think they have to vote for the policies you want for it to be a good idea?

Are you unironically arguing against universal suffrage as a policy?

Brexit and whichever is your least favourite California ballot proposition

That’s not the example you think it is.
