This happens for me on some strains, some even slow my perception down even further to where 10 minutes feels like 30.

The GOP has no need of divisive tactics as long as Democrats refuse to acknowledge their own failings and complicity.
You are doing the job for them, simply by failing to recognize reality.

How is that not grounds for a mistrial?

Those terms seem closer to the concept you are trying to describe.
Neither of them are exact, but they should at least get people in the ballpark and avoid confusion with labels used primarily for specific systemic features.

I understand that.
It's not even a bad way to describe it.
However, because of the context and the existence of an established definition; using the term to refer to decentralization causes a lot of confusion.
Have you looked at the terms 'Decentralized' or 'Distributed' democracy?

Agreed; but this whole thread is an excellent demonstration of why these terminologies and maintaining a shared lexicon are important.

This is the source of the confusion in terminology.
When you say Direct Democracy, anyone familiar with systems of government and their labels immediately has a very specific concept in mind about the system you are proposing, and assumes that your advocacy is focused on implementing that system.

This is true, but the definition of the term describes a government system with specific features.
There is no such thing as a 'Democratic Government'; but there is definitely a system of government we label 'democratic'. Direct Democracy describes a specific form of this type of system.

And this is the problem with using specific labels interchangably.
I understand that you were talking about organizing direct action; but the context of the specific label you used framed it as a reformist movement that retained institutional hegemony by definition.
