Direct voting should be the end-goal of a democracy.

You mean referendums?

Not sure what the guy you replied to meant, but I don't think we should have referendums about every little thing. I know some of the stuff that pops up in my friend's state's referendums they say they don't feel qualified at all to vote on. But I agree that major stuff, like who gets to be President, probably should be direct voting.

I asked what kind of direct voting. Referendum is direct voting on laws.

like who gets to be President, probably should be direct voting.

It's direct elections. Direct voting is more broad.
