Like listen, I'm not saying have voters' input for every damn issue, but I think having referendums, initiatives, and citizens initiated recalls is better than hoping solely that politicians do what they were elected for.
For me, it's about accountability in the face of complacency.

My Reaction to the "Pure Democracy and Sexy Issues(tm) comment":
Having citizens participate in politics beyond merely voting for who represents them is good actually.
