The best argument for representative democracy (vs direct democracy) is that people don’t have time to invest themselves in every political decision. Ironically, now we livestream every decision, follow every decision via pundits, and read each others hot takes about these decisions, all the while feeling helpless knowing we have no power to shape the decision-making process until, in the best case scenario, the next election provides meaningfully different candidates. Spoiler alert: it won’t.
