“Confusing terminology aside, we need to talk about the delegation of political authority, why it’s a big deal, and how it could impact political participation as democracy goes digital” https://democracy-technologies.org/getting-started/delegative-democracy-an-introduction/

Had the pleasure of interviewing @rittermo (Managing Director of #LiquidDemocracy) on their work to improve the foundational processes underneath #Democracy.

"On the one hand, #RepresentativeDemocracy can be very static. On the other hand, we can’t expect everyone to participate in #DirectDemocracy. So let’s address the shortcomings of both systems."

@rbenjamin @clayton I think there's also a really interesting question around direct vs. #RepresentativeDemocracy.

We've basically self-selected the most optimal possible user base for directly democratic collective self-governance, but is that transferrable to communities with lower levels of democratic literacy and participation interest? Is a representative model (members elect a board once a year) more broadly transferable? #instances
