Which is why representative democracy is not true democracy. It's more like one-day democracy.

If we had a fine and granular democracy where we would have to vote on every issue, it would cripple our voting system ... 

It's a miracle that democracy works even with a potential upwards hundreds of millions of electorates when many of the founding fathers didn't even have democracy in mind and it shows in the original consitution ...
