It's basically the same question. Representative democracy is a terrible form of government because people are stupid and easily led sheep just waiting for the right manipulator to herd them in a certain direction. Representative democracy's only real benefit after you cast off all the propaganda bull**** about "will of the people" and "freedom" is that elected officials have to at least consider the will of the people when deciding policy. And when politics have become as polarized and consumed by identity politics as they are now even that benefit is dubious at best because the will of the people can become so co-opted that it is essentially just the will of the manipulator.
