Direct democracy works fine as long as you have an educated public. Direct democracy plus private financing means that really bad policies that favor the rich get passed.

Direct democracy means people vote for the side with the slickest ads. Vote for no tax increases, better schools, more criminals in prison longer, better levies, and more highways [and for God's sakes, don't do the math!

].
