Most democratic processes have limits. While it's amusing to have subs named Boaty McBoatface, completely unfettered democracy isn't as amusing when there are serious consequences, such as long-term elections to national office.

We have primaries and qualifications for getting on the ballot, and while one might quibble about the exact details, I don't think most people would be happy if we somehow collectively elected a 10-year-old, or a goat, as President of the United States of America.

I disagree. The world needs more democracy, not less. I think the main problem is in how we are only allowed to vote on representatives and not on the actual issues. Take a look at Switzerland how their democracy is organized, with as much power with the local Gemeinde as possible and voting directly on whatever issue has been raised.
