It's not about direct democracy being possible or not in a general sense. It absolutely is. The question of feasibility arises though when we begin to think about HOW we actually convert the US, specifically, from it's current form into a direct democracy. It's easy to say "well you do this, you change that, etc... and you're golden" when it's just theory, but in practice... good fucking luck.
There's a vast difference between "virtually impossible" and "a whole fucking lot of effort and organising".
