The problem is that the stakes are so high. Basically one election every 4 years puts too much value on each election.
If we could make voting convenient (and anonymous yet secure, etc) a democracy could vote directly on each bill brought forth. Unfortunately some bills would have greater voter turnout than others, and this turnout may not be proportional to the "importance" of the bill.
Our system of government is flawed and broken. A replacement system is very elusive...
