Screw "ideological tradition". Small government is pretty much the only thing that matters anymore.
In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.This is why the left hates the electoral college when it loses, and basically says "the electoral what? I went to Harvard!", when they win.
The left loves BIG government. You want proof of this? Vote in person. Pick a few people at random and watch how long it takes them to vote. The jackass will be at the booth for 45 minutes voting on issues they have absolutely no idea of the content or consequences of(the Broward County, FL 2018 ballot had 10 damn pages!), and the republican will be in and out in 5 minutes after voting for the PEOPLE he wants to pay to make all these stupid little decisions for him. All morning, I've been listening to democrats whining to "let the people decide" about this SCOTUS nominee. Two things: 1) That ain't the way it works and 2) The people DID decide this, in 2016.
