Maybe you’re willing to, but we can’t even get a majority of Americans to vote once every four years.
(I’ve served in student government a few times, and while not directly applicable it was still eye opening - a lot of stuff will not affect you personally but you need to give a shit as an “elected” official because everything effects someone. I put elected in quotes because the first time I got talked into it and the second time happened because nobody else was willing - it’s deeply boring work most of the time.)
We have the tech to no longer need representative government. Fuck those corporate sell outs, let me represent myself directly.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. You can have representatives by default while allowing anyone to override that vote for themselves.
