Really? In a democracy is it really necessary to have representatives when we can all instantly represent ourselves? I've been thinking about this ever since the internet poped up, anyone can instantly communicate with anyone instantly. Why keep such a corrupt, evil system around, when we could create something new that actually reflects the will of the people? In my opinion it is time to get rid of so called representatives and start representing ourselves.

We do not live in a democracy.
We live in a constitutional republic where in you elect representatives to represent your interests.
We live in a representational republic. Democracies turn into mob rule and have failed every time they have been tried.
The foundation of a republic is rule of law. The checks and balances of the branches of our government help to insure that laws passed over time cannot infringe on the rights of the people defined in our Constitution.
Generally, the idiots that say we live in a democracy are socialists that want to destroy our country in favor of a one-world totalitarian government patterned after communist China.
More importantly: Those representatives have LIMITS on what they can do.
I do t this this is a constitutional republic in how we act. The corruption is in sane. But yea agree with what you are saying
