Nick Sippl-Swezey: Voting always reminds me of legacy code Like it works. Don't touch it.
David Ernst: Ha, I hear you.... except so many people think it doesn't work
Nick Sippl-Swezey: One of the best strategies I've seen for upgrading legacy tech is the "super set" model.
It runs the legacy stuff fine. But if you adopt a couple new practices on a module by module basis, you get some improvement. Costs stay low, benefits can be observed. And if you like the improvements, you have a path to steadily continue updating your codebase. And if you update everything, you can eventually do a big forward transition.
Doesn't have to be marketed that way. Or even be that way. But it's an approach.
David Ernst: Yeah that's exactly my thinking here too When you sign up you start out delegated to your actual representatives So its like no difference Then you can choose wherever you want to pick new delegates, or vote directly. Or just learn about the legislation!
Nick Sippl-Swezey: Yeah. It's a great idea.
Idea for an article that shows how the existing system fits just fine within Liquid Democracy.
