An ordinary popular vote for laws I don't like because I don't have time to research everything to the depth I would need to. Something like liquid democracy suffers much less from that, of course. I've recently been taken with the idea (though I am not at all convinced it would actually be a good idea) of drawing panels at random - like jury selection - to decide individual issues, but giving them time and pay to inform themselves and deliberate. Just expecting people to come to well informed decisions on their own time doesn't turn out great.
