Representative democracy is better. My reps should have more time to research every topic than I do. Their job is to be more informed.

My job is to spot check on the stuff I understand.

Their votes should be worth more than mine. And we should have a system where sometimes representatives vote against their constituents wishes because the rep has more information available to them, or is just more educated than their constituents on the topic.

Representative democracy can still exist with 1 person = 1 vote. You could do a proportional election and weight the delegates’ votes by the number of voters they represent.
