Yes, jackass, I do know what a direct democracy is. You were bitching about the 49% not having a voice in a vote and that's exactly what happens in a direct democracy. It's exactly what happened with state Constitutional Amendments against gays across the country. There is no form of government, where direct voting is the ONLY thing that rules, that will guarantee the rights of minorities. It's logically impossible and I can't understand why you would pretend otherwise.

The Senate is constantly passing measures that protect individuals who have been overlooked in the system. Gun rights exist because of the fight by minority population states. Farming bills. Mining environmental laws. Do I honestly have to go through the last 200 years of legislation and list the many bills that have come up through the people to the Senate because their voice was too small in the House?
