Argument is based on a flawed premise from the very beginning: we aren't a democracy.
We send representatives to government not to do what we tell them to do, but to represent us, and represent our interests. They are not a proxy vote, and never were supposed to be.
Aren't we a republican democracy?
Democratic elections have existed as far back as the Ancient Greeks. I thought republic meant in absence of a Monarchy.

They generally don't don't represent our interests either.
Because, as a Republic, not everyone was supposed to vote.
