Direct Democracy effects everyone but in the US a president/governor/local judge etc. may only reflect the views of the majority of people who actually vote i.e. 50% + 1.
Press releases of this kind tend to be very eloquent and center around the principles of civil liberties, checked and balanced government and natural rights (meaning the rights that people are born with regardless of the law)

We don't have a direct democracy in the United States. That would be practically impossible. Then every voting citizen would vote on everything and we would never get anything done. We have a representative democracy.

Well, first of all we would need to have a direct democracy in the United States in order for it to work. We do not have that. We have a representative democracy.

The USA is a Republic. We elect Representatives to speak and vote (House and senate) on our behalf. Democracy is different.
