I don't think we need 'representatives' anymore. Truth is, we never did, but 200 years ago there was a practical justification that was used to fool the masses into accepting that concept. But not anymore.
It's not 1810 anymore. We have things like the internet, videoconferencing & the ability to cast votes online that are verifiable, using encryption & blockchain. There's no need to send some 'elected' men to washington to 'represent' us.
They are not elected, they do not represent us (they represent the special interests that bought and selected them), they are basically archaic. They run on inertial but they're part of an obsolete system that has way outlived any usefulness it had (it's debatable if it ever had any. Special interests are not new, there was plenty of bribery in the 1800s).
