Do i think America would work well in a direct democracy? I honestly don't know. I believe that with the democracy we have now, people do have a voice. In a direct democracy, everyone participates. But in a democracy where there are representatives, what people want or say goes through them, we have elections and votes. So in reality if there was a direct democracy, i think we'll manage.
As for the reaction to us having a direct democracy, i think most people wouldn't bother to care or realize unless things started to go wrong or products keep getting expensive, or until something happens that affects them negatively. And even with the young people we have today's day, they still wouldn't care. Life would probably be more hectic. You cant really say what might be until it happens. My perfect government would be one that has no problems with other countries, one that cares for our country first and then others, a government that protects itself from getting into an economic depression.
You are right people would not care if we did have some form of direct democracy.
