In the United States, we have what's been termed a "representative democracy". In theory, we elect representatives who represent our interests. In practice, this would seem to be something generally accepted to be false.
How is it possible for someone who's never met you in your entire life to represent your interests?

Better yet, how can you vote for someone to protect your interests when you don't know them?
