How is it "direct" democracy when you have a "representative" parliament? Switzerland has partial direct democracy like in other western countries that have referendums on things. Actual direct democracy in the US would be a disaster which is I guess what you want.

It's DIRECT because the people can veto any bill and require anything to be legislated for. How do you achieve that in the totalitarian states of america.

Illogical leap.
Direct democracy is better, among many alternative solutions (ie. ranked choice voting). But they won't allow that. "If voting were effective they'd make it illegal." In this case they won't allow voting to become effective and then they don't need to make it illegal. There are already over 40 ways to rig the vote.
