There it is. I was wondering what he'd get on. Kind of silly to me to hear this whole thing. I don't think he understands what democracy is. The idea that this will make anything less democratic is silly as the internet puts the mob in control in a way that isn't really understood well by a lot of people. You can democratically elect a theocracy, or slavery, or atheism. All autocracies besides monarchy, are at least in some way democratically supported. The people put these people into power. Tyrants are often elected. You know that last sentence to be true. But now there's an independent method of organization independent of government institutions. That is the digital order. That is the future of democracy. There is no winning.
