I personally disagree with direct democracy unless it's extremely localized, and otherwise agree with representative democracy, like we have with governors, senators, and the electoral college. As Zizek once said, even if we had direct democracy, we would still have a situation where only a privileged few have the luxury of time, education, and understanding to be deeply involved in the political process, just like we do now. Except at least with representative democracy we can choose who those people are (and make them need re-elections), whereas in a fully direct democracy, I'd just have no say whatsoever if I didn't have the time to stay up to date with global economics, politics, news, culture, voting, etc.
Not to mention humans defer to 'representatives' anyway: local charismatics; implicit hierarchies at work, at the gym, school, etc; can even be anonymous, i.e. whatever ideology they purpose which they haven't carefully reflectd on for inconsistencies and aporias, etc
