Amen to that. Also, those representatives are supposed to bring some common sense and discretion to the office, which would not be present in a direct democracy. That’s the theory, anyway.
All of those extremist nutjobs and pandering cynics who currently infest D.C. were elected by the public. If the system is broken now, imagine if every Trump/Cruz/Palin/Clinton/Kardashian fan had a direct vote in everything. Politicians would be campaigning on American Idol, or whatever show takes its place.
