7 months agoWe have representative democracy meaning we elect politicians to make decisions for us. While we do have the option to vote on single issue topics it’s unusual, and there are more and less suitable topics for the public to vote on. Voting on the NATO issue is probably the least suitable. Much of the basis for entering NATO are secrets not revealed to the public. And considering Russia managed to tamper with the us election, can you imagine what impact they could have on a vote like this?
Did you want to explain why it would be a good idea to have a public vote on NATO?
