As the title goes - I think it's a good solution for some of the Western World's problems, like politicians not following their campaign promises. On the other hand, conflicting politics are a big possibility, which would create further problems. Any ideas?

Basically get something like reddit/lemmy as a social forum. You use it for business reviews, running for office, looking for jobs, raising issues and crowd sourcing solutions. Make it block chain with each state hosting a node. Make every user verified and use it for voting. It's absolutely a solvable problem it's just that all the money and power is actively working against progress.

I've been wondering if something like the United Countries of North America type of EU but that still leaves all kinds of questions about the military and how much blood the road from here will take.
